Morning Joe had some woman on warning that all the women

who work in corporate America won't support Elizabeth Warren. Why? Fear for their jobs.

It's started. Let's all be very afraid of challenging the corporate control of politics. Let's not talk about taking that 33% grab of the health care dollar by insurance companies. Let's not talk about the increasing disparity between CEO salary and worker salary. Let's not talk about corporations buying access to politicians. On and on.

I couldn't stand it when there was no response from the MJ panel. Turned the damn thing off.

I am so f*ing sick of $$$ and greed running this country.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

and financial industry. Won't like Elizabeth Warren attacking their companies. After all, look, we have family leave now! And equal rights for LGBTQ community. The woman made me want to puke. Didn't get her name as I turned it on in the middle of her spiel. And zip, nada, NO response from the Morning Joe panel.

donating. And so are a lot of men. This appearance is a tactic, a campaign strategy, meant to be fear-inducing.

The woman even looked a little sheepish when she finished, like she knew she was full of BS. Like she knew what the counterarguments were...and nothing.

You weren't watching the same show I was. The pushback was excellent and Leader didn't look sheepish, she looked overwhelmed by the pushback.

Is Warren planning to enact some form of Sharia Law and not allow women to work any more?

How did I ever miss that?

I guess I need to pay a bit more attention to the news.

Actually, I've read all the posts above this one, and know what that idiot woman said. She's completely wrong, of course.

LL's position is that many liberal women who hate Trump and who work in corporate finance and banking are concerned about EW's plans.

Too bad you turned it off because you must have missed the responses from the MJ panel, including Al Sharpton, Jim Messina, and Willie Geist. I suggest you go back and rewatch that segment because the responses were an excellent push back of LL.
