Opinion: Warren hits it out of the park
Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks during the National Action Network convention in New York Friday. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 5 at 5:17 PM Over three days a steady stream of presidential candidates — including Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke and Sens. Kamala D. Harris , Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker — have appeared at the convention of the National Action Network, headed by Rev.
And then there was Warren, who was greeted as a rock star and supercharged the audience. As those who care about policy know, she’s got a bucketful of proposals — on Big Tech, on taxes, on housing, on ethics and more. On Friday, however, she did something smart, namely focus largely on one topic with depth, data and personal biography.
She added, “Now, if every working mom in the country had an Aunt Bee, we’d all be good. But that’s not the case. I know how lucky I was to have Aunt Bee save the day. But think about all the moms in America who don’t have an Aunt Bee.” Toward the end she veered into a brief discussion of voter suppression. “They’ll fight anyone who tries to stand up and push back,” she said of Republicans’ tactics. “They’ll do whatever it takes to stop a full and fair count. Because they know that there’s more that unites us than divides us.” She proposed a new amendment guaranteeing the right to vote and have votes counted. Last year the Senate passed a bill that would make lynching a federal crime. Last year. In 2018.
