Should Sen. Warren Resign So the Governor Can Appoint a Person of Color to the U.S. Senate?
Elizabeth Warren, Speaking to Black Graduates, Warns ‘the Rules Are Rigged’
[quote]BALTIMORE — Senator Elizabeth Warren, in a commencement speech Friday at historically black Morgan State University, mixed her trademark language denouncng economic inequality with more explicit indictments of racial discrimination, giving what could be a preview of a possible appeal to black voters should she run for president.
The system is rigged, Ms. Warren said, but it’s particularly pitted against minority communities — and politicians must recognize those unique challenges and address them.
“Under the rules of commencement speakers I am required to say, ‘Work hard.’ And you should,” Ms. Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat, said. “But I’m here with a bolder message: It’s time to change the rules. Let me say that again for those in the back. Change. The. Rules.”[/quote]
Kind of ironic coming from Warren, considering that the only African-American nominee since at least World War II for a Senate seat from Massachusetts was a Republican (Edward Brooke).
I really HATE this type of pandering in politics.
