Howie Carr: Warren not on warpath

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is staying tight-lipped about her 2020 presidential campaign plans, if there are any — she refused to tell reporters if she will run for office yesterday at a town hall forum in Plymouth. “Look, I’m working through it right now. So I don’t want to go into more detail than that,” said Warren. She has repeatedly said she will “take a hard look” at making a run for the White House, but refuses to set a decision deadline. “There’s no special timeline for this,” said Warren. “I’m just trying to work through it.” Warren rallied a crowd of supporters and took questions from the audience during her 38th town hall since President Trump was elected. She fielded questions regarding health care, immigration, the economy and student loan debt. When it comes to Democrats and Republicans playing nice, Warren said Democrats are coming out on top. “We are starting to win this public debate,” Warren told the crowd. “We try to make it as clear and as personal as we can.” Warren said the two parties can “work together” and told supporters that Democrats will “take our government back and make it work for the people again.” Warren again took a bipartisan stance when weighing in on the Mueller investigation into Russian interference during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. “Every day that goes by, evidence mounts about the relationship between Donald Trump — the Trump campaign — and Russia. It’s absolutely critical that Mueller be permitted to complete the investigation without political interference from anyone — Democrat or Republican,” Warren said. “The investigation has already yielded more than two dozen indictments or guilty pleas,” she said. Warren recently came under fire for releasing her DNA after claiming to have Native American ancestry. The test, which she posted online, showed she is between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American — a move that is still reverberating across the nation. Trump has taken several jabs at Warren’s ancestry, calling her “Pocahontas” and even pledging to donate $1 million to charity should Warren take a DNA test proving her heritage claims. Trump then took a dismissive stance when the results came out and denied promising to donate money to charity. “I put it all out there. I put out 10 years of tax records, I put out all of my hiring records and my DNA. It’s on the internet,” said Warren. When asked if she regretted releasing the DNA results, Warren stuck to the same buttoned-up manner as she did when asked about her possible 2020 presidential run: “I’m going to stay in this fight.”
