Warren has quickly become a populist hero to liberals. Stephanopoulos, host of ABC’s The Week, noted something in her background that “might surprise” her supporters: the fact that she has voted Republican in the past, and was a registered Republican in Pennsylvania from 1991 to 1996. Warren said she left the party after that because she felt it was siding more and more with Wall Street:

I was an independent. I was with the GOP for a while because I really thought that it was a party that was principled in its conservative approach to economics and to markets. And I feel like the GOP party just left that. They moved to a party that said, “No, it’s not about a level playing field. It’s now about a field that’s gotten tilted.” And they really stood up for the big financial institutions when the big financial institutions are just hammering middle class American families. I just feel like that’s a party that moved way, way away.

I really need to know who she sided with in 1994. And she may have to explain how she was willing to demonize an entire group of women (who were in fact doing no harm) with that vote in 1994 - for her precious 'conservative' financial approach.

And she also needs to explain what took her so long. I mean - I know my parents knew the day Reagan was elected that it was going to be a disaster for America.

My mom and Warren are about the same age, same demographic - my mom was an Exec VP of a hotel management company (collegiate level white woman in an executive position at that time was a ceiling smasher) - and in 1994 she firmly sided with young black women.
