Elizabeth Warren Faces Backlash After Interview On Trump Era

Senator Elizabeth Warren had recently graced Sam Fragoso’s podcast ‘Talk Easy’ to voice her opinion on how the Democrats should resist President Trump if he gets in for his second term. Short-lived indeed was the interview on wet online reactions where critics and supporters weighed in on Warren’s statements and Fragoso’s manner of interviewing.

And we are not hiding our faces from our constituents,’ she said as protestors raised Democratic arms against the attack from Trump’s American agenda policies. The downward spiral was complete when Fragoso pressed her on the previous comments regarding Biden’s mental sharpness. This moment became, with many reactions, some praising Fragoso for not holding back and others accusing Warren of evading accountability.

Such comments as this one from user Missy Kizzy read, ‘Alternative Reality? That’s pretty rich coming from Elizabeth Warren. She should go back to her teepee and weave another basket.’ The comment was meant to refer to the whole controversy going around with Warren and her allegations of Native American heritage-knowing that it is still a point of skepticism sharpened against her credibility.

Sen. Warren is not capable of seeing the incitement. The culture war in America happened almost exactly to sever middle-class liberalism from working-class pragmatism. The Democratic party will have to give equal ear to the unlearned American and the well-learned American. It will take personality. Meaning that this depicts schism within the party regarding messaging and outreach.

His fans congratulated him for a job well done. Jesse McCormick wrote on his twitter page-‘Never heard of you before this. Great job. You held her feet to the fire but weren’t an asshole. That’s all I ask.’Another listener, dhgregory1952, added, ‘Thank you for doing what the ‘professional journalists’ are supposed to do: ask the hard questions and the follow-up questions.’

But some do not care. Roderick Edwards commented on Warren saying, ‘The question is NOT ‘what are we going to do now’? — because what is exposed is that @SenWarren is a liar and was covering up major fraud. Why should anyone trust her or her fellow @TheDemocrats. THAT’S the question.’ Several sentiments were echoed by Deena240979 in that she also accused Warren of dancing around every issue vague and without solutions.

Again, snooping into Warren’s wealth was found after the interview. ‘Warren is a joke! Her fake Indian creds to get a degree 100% of us pay for ours, her bank account skyrockets from a ‘cheese shop’ jive,’ tweeted Deena240979 and referred to Warren’s past financial disclosures.

Some others also lumped congratulatory remarks even for this unusual ‘democrat-questioning’ event. ‘Clearly, you and I do not agree politically, but I really appreciate seeing an honest effort to point out these absurdities. It’s important to remain honest and sensible, no matter your politics,’ wrote [email protected].

The discussion even went into meme territory, dgloria79494 commenting, ‘Someone said, ‘I’m glad he held her moccasins to the fire.’ It poked fun at Warren’s controversies and at the same time made fun of the intensity of the interview.

Be it called hard-hitting interview or partisanship takedown, one thing is certain about that appearance: it gathered a lot of strong reactions from the viewers. While some interpreted it as being more proof of media bias, others marked it as a unique instance of accountability. Either way, this may be an issue that will not die down anytime soon.

The long conversation can easily be located on ‘Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso. However, this time, online discussions caught fire. As the election draws closer, all that is said politically-and the moods they inspire-could very well paint the battles to come. And if this interview is any example, the proverbial firestorm stays ignited with these words: Warren is still a lightning rod.
