It’s a bad week to be Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Washington Examiner: The 2020 Democratic presidential aspirant was resoundingly mocked for her cringe-worthy comments about “ghosting” meant to be relatable to millennials, or something. A poll showed the socialist-lite candidate struggling in New Hampshire despite being from neighboring Massachusetts. And now, Facebook has officially rejected Warren’s campaign clamoring and calls for censorship with its newly-released political advertisement policy.
Warren is a long-time critic of social media companies and purposely posted a false political ad to call attention to the fact that Facebook does not “fact-check” paid political advertisements. She’s since repeatedly blasted the company for supposedly holding democracy “hostage to their desire to make money.” Warren says Facebook “already helped elect Donald Trump once. Now, they’re deliberately allowing a candidate to intentionally lie to the American people.”
Long story short, Warren wants Facebook to censor her political opponents. Thankfully, though, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has rebuffed her demands, refusing to be the “arbiter of truth” and rightfully pointing out that “people [don’t] want to live in a world where you can only say things that tech companies decide are 100 percent true.” And Facebook released its official updated political advertisements policy on Thursday, with only minor changes made to encourage transparency. Despite the political pressure, it will continue to allow candidates to run ads free of censorship.
She’s scary. Bloomberg is just as scary.
This ex Republican is off the hook cray cray. When did being a socialist become acceptable here?
I agree, Warren is scary – both in her political ambition and her crazy look.
She reminds me of James Carville

“…and your little dog, too!”
What should bother people is those out there that take this lunatic seriously.
She may be “socialist-lite” but she’s 100% tyrant.
Demanding censorship of your opponents is … uhh … tyrannical.
izlamo delenda est …
Fakebook actually did some right?!?!?! Well, I’ll be damned!!! Another sign of the impending apocalypse!! :^0
Shouldn’t Lizzie be impeached for trying to interfere in the election?
Seems she wants to silence her opponents.
I got your “fact check” right here, Lizard.
It’s BECAUSE she is ‘from’ neighboring MA that no one in NH likes her!
We’ve seen too many of her type sneaking across our southern border!
