Sen. Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren: not a well-known truth-teller
“Fact-checking” is all the rage on the Internet. But who checks the fact-checkers?
We start with what we are told, at first, is a quote from Sen. Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren: the American people, she is said to have said (beautiful prose!), “have no right to know how we spend their money” (https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/feb/11/instagram-posts/no-warren-didnt-say-citizens-dont-have-the-right-t/).
That’s from Politifact. You can get the same from Reuters and other wandering fact-checkers. All of whom say she never said it.
My problem is, I can’t believe these people. I know they’ll say and do just about anything to protect Democrats and advance their socialist agenda. To me the purported quote sounds fully in character and accurately reflects Democrat behavior. Sen. Warren would, it’s true, have to be a bigger than average chucklehead, to say a thing like this in public. But she is a chucklehead: by their fruits ye shall know them.
