Leftists are turning their backs on Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after she declared herself a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist.
Speaking at a New England Council breakfast on Monday over bankruptcy policy, Warren reportedly told the audience, “I am a capitalist to my bones.”
“I am a capitalist to my bones,” Sen. Warren tells New England Council, one of several instances this morning where she’s highlighted her belief in capitalism and markets while talking bankruptcy policy #mapoli

Leftists, stunned by her remarks, took to social media to express their outrage.

Completely disappointed in the statement by @SenWarren about being “capitalist to her bones”. Not the tune she was singing when she unseated Scott Brown. She got a little taste of that sweet sweet donor cash and abandoned whose who have supported her. Equally as disappointed in

Senator Warren told the New England Council, a pro-business lobbying organization, that she is a “capitalist to my bones.” What is she afraid of? A Socialist in Birmingham is Mayor, and that town is booming, attracting businesses right & left. #ALDems pic.twitter.com/t21guG1aCd

2010: “The banks are bleeding people dry.”
2018: “I am a capitalist to my bones.”
Just remember folks: once you bow to the capitalist donor class, you never stand again https://t.co/UO0tEkVQOI

Warren’s recent pro-capitalist remarks are indeed inconsistent with her leftist messaging. She endorsed socialist Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” bill, income redistribution, and a government-mandated “living wage.”
Unfortunately for Warren’s 2020 prospects, this characterizes her as either a lackluster socialist or a half-hearted capitalist, both of which don’t inspire voters.
