But while all the contenders received good marks for their comments on stage, Warren’s performance appeared to have made the biggest impression, earning the senator from Massachusetts a large standing ovation.
“She came out gunning for fire and made a connection with the audience that I didn’t expect. It’s so bizarre because when you see her on TV, [you see] the quick little snippets, but ― sweet God. I thought she was marvelous,” said Joy Vandervort-Cobb, an African-American teacher at the College of Charleston.
Warren opened her remarks at the forum with a tribute to the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, which occurred four years ago this weekend. She said the American dream remained out of reach for black Americans and touted her plans to cancel student debt for many young people and fund historically black colleges and universities. The senator also plugged her newest proposal, one aimed at boosting minority entrepreneurs by offering federal grants to aid the launch of new businesses.
She then turned directly to the audience and launched into her campaign windup, citing her family’s financial struggles as she was growing up in Oklahoma.
“It’s about building an America where not just those who are born in privilege can succeed,” Warren said, explaining her proposed “ultra-millionaire” tax on the richest Americans.
Comments
Warren is good with the dough-re-mi.
She is a fiscal conservatives' worst nightmare.
If there are any of those left in the G.O.P.
