When new lies don't work bring up old ones.

Double Standards: Will the Media Hold Warren and Harris Accountable for Spreading a Pernicious Racial Hoax?

Walking it back (or trying to):

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/15/elizabeth-warren-michael-brown-was-murdered-tweet-/

Quote
Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a New Hampshire crowd that her recent tweet claiming “Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer” is a non-issue because “what matters is that a man was shot.”

Right. Never mind that the man was in the process of physically assaulting a police officer when he was shot.

Quote
“What matters is that a man was shot, an unarmed man, in the middle of the street, by police officers and left to die,” she said. “And I think that’s where our focus should be.”

Was he "left to die"? Did the police all head off to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts for a coffee break while Brown lay dying in the street?

She is despicable. Warren wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and bit her in the arse.

I guess the whole point of this article is that the top candidates are remarkably old, and a total embarassment to the age of heroes that produced them.

One of the complaints at the time was that Brown's body was left in the street for a long time. I guess some people would have preferred to disturb the evidence at the scene. We now know why.

I understand that I have a tendency to be pedantic, but IMHO there's a difference between someone who is dying and someone who has died. I prefer to think that if Brown hadn't been so successful at suicide by cop, first aid would have been administered once it was confirmed that he was no longer a threat.

Sadly, I can't tell if you're joking, or if she's the joke. Again.

Elizabeth Warren apologized for the harm she caused by faking being a Native American.
"I apologize 1/1,024th %"
she told an audience before promising to raise their taxes.

They're already attacking the second amendment.  You might give them the mechanism by which they could attack the First.... :old:

Uh, no, the point is that the "fa" in Antifa stands for First Amendment (not fascist). So Antifa is anti-First-Amendment.

Washington gov Jay Inslee is out. Didn't even know he was in.

Still 22 candidates left.

The only four that are going to matter at the end are Bernie, Yang, Gabbard, and Biden.

You think Yang and Gabbard will have more staying power than Warren? I don't.

Warren isn't offering anything Bernie isn't. He owns all that territory.

Yang has a youth thing going and Gabbard is different from the other D challengers. Both of these are enough to set them apart whereas Warren doesn't have anything.

So she will fade away.

Wow. According to the piece, that includes "immigration issues". So if I say I'm against illegal immigrants, I can have my guns taken away.
