For someone who has repeatedly denied plans to run for president, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren sure sounded like a potential 2016 candidate on Monday, when she talked about what she can personally do for the working class and for Washington.
Speaking at the International Association of Firefighters Conference, Warren said she “will be a strong voice for working people across country,” adding “I will do it because it’s right.”
Warren began with a shout-out to her state and applauded the firefighters in Boston, noting a “special kind of courage” it takes to put their lives on the line. She recognized two Boston firefighters who died on the job this year. Then, she quickly pivoted to put blame on the U.S. for not providing equipment, training and a larger force.
This neglect isn’t just limited to fire departments, she pointed out, noting how “starving services” extends to roads, medical research and schools.
“Why is there no money to make the country work?” Warren asked the group. She then responded, “I’ll tell you: The game is rigged … it’s getting worse day by day.”
The senator has a solution for those problems: Elizabeth Warren.
“So I’m here today to say this isn’t right, I’m here to say that our spending should align with our values … I can rail on about what’s wrong in Washington and I will rail on about what’s wrong in Washington,” Warren said....
