Why an Elizabeth Warren supporter walked out of her candidacy speech

WFB: A former supporter of senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren said he walked out of the speech announcing her candidacy because the Massachusetts Democrat was placing too much emphasis on raising taxes, and not talking enough about issues of equality and opportunity for minorities.

Johnhaynes Honeycutt says he previously was a Warren supporter, “But I found at the event there wasn’t any way for me to identify with the things she was saying. That was why I walked out.”

Bailing out of the speech by Honeycutt and his girlfriend caught the eye of many because speeches announcing a presidential candidacy are usually carefully managed to create positive images and avoid potential embarrassments.

“She’s a small-town girl, and her family were blue-collar, and now she’s in this position [as a presidential candidate],” he told the Washington Examiner. “Rather than taxing and fighting the rich and using that as her only focus, she should be focusing on opening up opportunities for the people that are in the same position she was once in,” he added.

Honeycutt is African-American and also a small business owner in Massachusetts.

“There are so many minorities that are doing well in this country, and I feel like Elizabeth Warren should be using her platform to illustrate that end of it,” he said.  read more

  1. Hmm…sounds like not everybody is on board with Ocasialism–I mean Socialism. But you Dems, please just keep pushing that bell bottom blue bullshit anyway, since you believe that nobody wants jobs and everybody is unwilling to work

  2. So a black man who is a small business owner states that “there are so many minorities that are doing well in this country” and he wants a Dim to do what? I am baffled by his statements unless he purposely set out to embarrass her and that is fine by me.
