Elizabeth Warren Collected Millions from Big Corporations Before Denouncing Their Existence

We previously highlighted the hypocrisy of Elizabeth Warren railing against big corporations after charging them as much as $675 an hour for legal advice. But according to a new report from Politico, that barely scratches the surface.

Politico: “Elizabeth Warren — under pressure from rival Pete Buttigieg to reveal her past compensation from corporate clients — announced Sunday that she’s received $1.9 million from private legal work since 1986.”

It begs the question: Why does Elizabeth Warren refuse to release her tax returns for this period, making it impossible to independently verify the numbers she’s providing?

The total Warren collected almost certainly eclipses $2 million, as she claims to not have compensation records for several major cases, “including consulting for the former directors of Getty Oil in the late 1980s during a bankruptcy filing by Texaco.”

Charges of rampant hypocrisy have plagued the Warren campaign for weeks. After releasing a proposal to eliminate federal funding for all charter schools and seek a ban on for-profit charter schools, she told a school choice advocate that her children attended public schools.

It was soon revealed that Warren’s son, Alex Warren, “spent the majority of his formative years at one of the country’s most elite private schools, the Haverford School.”

Whenever Elizabeth Warren is forced to reveal more about her past, voters are reminded that she is a liar and a hypocrite.
