Prior to that Warren was appointed by [[Barack Obama]] as special adviser to Treasury Secretary [[Timothy Geithner]],<ref name=wsj /> where she ran "the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau." <ref>[http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2010-09-19-1.html Obama Spits on the Constitution]</ref> − − Warren has gained a reputation as a rancorous [[partisan]] Democrat and [[demagogue]]. She was the original mastermind of the "You didn't build that business" speech, later infamously used by Obama. Her alleged [[progressive]] credentials were exposed as hypocrisy when she flatly refused to support Sen. [[Bernie Sanders]] in 2016 Democrat presidential primaries. Warren became an outspoken apologist for the corrupt [[Clinton Foundation]] [[corporate]] contributors and pay-to-play activities. − − The fair-skinned Warren obtained [[affirmative action]] preferences by falsely claiming that she was of "[[American Indian]]" descent, when in fact her heritage does not support her claim under widely accepted standards.
