Raise your hand if you’re surprised to find out Elizabeth Warren is once again backtracking definitive positions as soon as she found out it wasn’t going to work in her favor.
No one? Good. That saves us some time.
The claim this time that she’s falling over herself to reframe and erase from the nation’s collective memory is her firm anti-super PAC stance. You know, this one:
In my campaign, I’ve pledged not to take money from federal lobbyists or PACs of any kind. Not to take contributions over $200 from fossil fuel or big pharma executives. Not to give ambassadorships to wealthy donors or bundlers. And I’m not doing call time with rich donors or giving special access to rich people in exchange for contributions to my campaign.
Today, I’m announcing that in addition to these policies, I’m not going to take any contributions over $200 from executives at big tech companies, big banks, private equity firms, or hedge funds. And when I’m the Democratic nominee for president, I’m not going to change a thing in how I run my campaign: No PACs. No federal lobbyists. No special access or call time with rich donors or big dollar fundraisers to underwrite my campaign.
Her words, straight off her campaign website.
Also her words:
NEW: Here is video of Warren declining to disavow the new super PAC supporting her:
“If all the candidates want to get rid of super PACs, count me in. I'll lead the charge. But that's how it has to be. It can't be the case that a bunch of people keep them and only 1 or 2 don’t.” pic.twitter.com/byxQRjGMfs

“Finally, we reached the point a few weeks ago where all of the men who were still in this race and on the debate stage all had either super PACs or they were multibillionaires and could just rummage around their sock drawers and find enough money to be able to fund a campaign,” Warren says, and I have never heard someone sound so pouty and butt hurt about someone having more money than her. I think she accidentally revealed the driving force behind her entire campaign: jealousy.
And seriously? “All the boys have one, I want one too, wahhh!!” Grow UP.
This all comes after Resist PAC pledged support to Elizabeth Warren, and she was asked if she’d accept super PAC funds. And her entire response boils down to, “Well yeah, but no one else should.”
Daily Wire gets right down to the point:
Warren is still trying to pretend she’s principled, releasing a statement Wednesday claiming she thinks Democrats shouldn’t accept help from super PACs even as she is now accepting help from super PACs. Her website also still claims she “would disavow any super PAC formed to support her in the Democratic primary.”
She has not disavowed Resist PAC.
Elizabeth Warren is not going to be the Democratic candidate. That ship has sailed, the writing’s on the wall. If she had any shred of integrity, she’d have stood by her principles and accepted defeat without compromising her so-called values. Instead, she’s sold out everything that made her remotely likable and is STILL going down in flames. Frankly, it’s exactly what she deserves.
