Commentary: Warren gave wrong answer to Tibbetts death question
By Richard Lavinthal
Sen. Elizabeth Warren did herself no good in response to a question about the death of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts, in which an undocumented immigrant has been charged.
The Massachusetts Democrat could have scored compassion and political points across the board, but instead shot herself in the foot.
Someone predisposed her to take her eye off the victim and focus on partisan politics – someone who drilled a catchy phrase into her that turned a chance for compassion into embarrassment. Was it a political strategist, a well-compensated PR consultant or maybe an apparatchik from her office? He/she created the catchy three-word meme “mommas and babies,†and then drilled it into Warren like Henry Higgins did to Liza Doolittle, to be sure Warren used that phrase a couple of times on CNN.
