| | 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 plagiarized 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]]'s [[corporate]] contributors and pay-to-play activities. | | Warren has gained a reputation as a rancorous [[partisan]] Democrat and [[demagogue]].
