31. Warren really panned the Trade Deal (TPP)

Mon Sep 7, 2015, 04:52 PM

Sep 2015

Obama was not in the room.

Mayor Walsh had spoken and left for the airport to greet the President.

Warren made the comments that I posted in the OP, but she really criticized the trade deal without calling out the President by name.

She did say that "this fight (the trade deal) is not over".

She is the darling of the Boston Union movement, as we came to her support even before the Primary in the Brown race.

We love her.
