WASHINGTON If you believe the ads and talking points that top Republican groups pump out, Senator Elizabeth Warren is a liberal from Massachusetts who cant be trusted, an extremist whose positions wont yield, a politician who lied about her heritage to advance her career. But inside the halls of the Capitol, a curious political phenomenon has unfolded over the past several months. Conservative Republicans are touting their ability to work across the aisle with Warren, one of the rights most hated liberals and the one whom President Trump derisively calls Pocahontas.
I work with Elizabeth Warren, proclaimed Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia at an event at the University of Virginia in November, pointing to an opioid bill the two worked on together that became law.
A lot of people say bipartisanship doesnt happen here, Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, said in a video he posted to Twitter in December, describing how he and Warren are on the same page when it comes to protecting our men and women in uniform and our veterans.

How about former GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio, senator from Florida? He emphasized last month that hes cosponsored several measures with Warren aimed at stopping human trafficking. Or Senator Joni Ernst, an Iowa conservative who drew national attention for her talk of castrating hogs during her 2014 campaign? Shes highlighted her work with Warren on securing a pay increase for members of the military.
