Elizabeth Warren Decries All-Or-Nothing Politics In The Senate
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) lamented the difficult landscape for compromise in the Senate, in an interview with Mother Jones published Wednesday: "Today a minority of the minority plays hostage politics. It's all-or-nothing politics at its worst," she said.
Given that Warren's recent tirade against big banks went viral, Mother Jones' David Corn asked what she thought of Sen. Ted Cruz's claim that he will shake up the Senate. "I'm not here to shake," she said. "I'm here to get something done. For me, it's an extension of the work I've done for 30 years to strengthen middle-class families. If I could find a way to do that here and never say another word publicly, I'm all for it."
