VIDEO: Warren Finds Out About Ethics Complaint Against Her In The Most AWKWARD Way Possible

Is it awful that I got a full belly laugh out of this?

Elizabeth Warren found out an ethics complaint was filed against her for fundraising off of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings in the most AWKWARD way possible.

…right in the middle of a debate.

It’s all on video.

AHAHAHAHA.

Her Republican OPPONENT Geoff Diehl literally knew before she did. In fact, HE BROKE THE NEWS:

“Senator Warren was fundraising illegally using the vote on Justice Kavanaugh, the confirmation vote, to try to raise money for her campaigns,” Diehl said.

She literally has NO idea what he’s talking about… so she kinda brushes it off.

The moderators didn’t let it slide: “I would like to drill down on what Representative Diehl said,” a moderator comments. “The fundraising while the vote was being taken on the Kavanaugh hearing — did you or did you not do that?”

“Actually, I don’t know.”

BUT LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

“Yes, an ethics complaint has been filed about a fundraising email.”

“Then, then I will, I will check into it — but I don’t know.”

BAHAHHAHHA. SURPRISE!

The Daily Wire writes about the complaint:

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) sent the complaint to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics chair and vice chair on Monday. The complaint alleges that Sens. Warren and Kamala Harris violated “the Senate Ethics prohibition against linking a promise of official action to a solicitation of campaign contributions” (full text of complaint below):

Senators Warren and Harris sent campaign fundraising emails based upon their official actions during the confirmation process and upcoming vote of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Senator Warren’s fundraising email stated her position on the ongoing hearing and “demand to delay the confirmation vote.” The email then states: “Elizabeth Warren is running for reelection in 2018 . . DONATE NOW.” Senator Harris sent numerous emails fundraising based upon her official duties. For instance, one of Harris’s fundraising emails stated she “question[ed] Judge Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings” and indicates her position on the confirmation. Then she requested a contribution with a “CONTRIBUTE” button. Both Senators’ emails were sent during the confirmation process and before the Senators were to vote, and their requested campaign donations were intertwined with their official duties as Senators.
