Elizabeth Warren’s Propensity to Lie is Damaging Her Standing with Voters

The Democratic presidential candidates have increasingly embraced class warfare and vilified the wealthy to ingratiate themselves among their far-left base. Sending your children to an elite private school isn’t exactly consistent with that strategy, which might explain why Elizabeth Warren lied about doing so.

Warren proclaimed “my kids went to public school” while defending her education plan to a school choice supporter last month. But according to yearbooks obtained by The Washington Free Beacon, this is yet another lie she’s perpetrating about her past.

“While Warren’s daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, attended public schools for the entirety of her elementary and high school education, her son, Alex Warren, spent the majority of his formative years at one of the country’s most elite private schools, the Haverford School.”

Previously a school choice advocate, Elizabeth Warren completely changed her position when she decided to run for president.

Warren before: “A taxpayer-funded voucher that paid the entire cost of educating a child (not just a partial subsidy) would open a range of opportunities to all children,” Warren wrote. “With fully funded vouchers, parents of all income levels could send their children – and the accompanying financial support – to the schools of their choice.”

Warren now: “The 2020 presidential candidate’s public education plan would ban for-profit charter schools — a proposal first backed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — and eliminate government incentives for opening new non-profit charter schools, even though Warren has praised charter schools in the past.”

Bottom line: This isn’t the first blatant falsehood told by Warren. From being forced to apologize for her Native American heritage claim to insisting her Medicare For All plan wouldn’t raise middle-class taxes, Elizabeth Warren continues to lie to voters throughout this presidential primary.
