Elizabeth Warren lashes back at Obama on trade agenda

[n2doc]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) fired back at President Obama Wednesday over remarks he made a day earlier about her position trade, further underscoring the increasingly bitter divide among Democrats on the issue.

Appearing Tuesday on MSNBC's "Hardball," the president said Warren and other liberal critics of the administration’s position on a sweeping international trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) were on the wrong side of the debate.

Warren — spurred on by labor unions and outside progressive groups — argues that Obama's policies would benefit big businesses and hurt U.S. workers.

"I love Elizabeth. We’re allies on a whole host of issues. But she’s wrong on this," Obama said.

On Wednesday, Warren responded via Twitter.

"The Obama Admin says I'm wrong — we shouldn't worry about TPP. So why can’t the American people read the deal?" she questioned.
