Fox News Bizarrely Blames Elizabeth Warren For The Financial Crisis

[Report1212]

Does Erickson think anyone is going to buy this?

--

Fox News contributor and right-wing activist Erick Erickson has a truly bizarre response to Warren’s video. In an op-ed titled “If Elizabeth Warren wants to lay blame for the financial mess, she can look in the mirror,” he claims that Warren is an advocate of regulations that caused the financial crisis and that she wants to prevent lawsuits against Wall Street banks:

The rich irony of Elizabeth Warren asking her question to these regulators, whose ranks she would have joined but for a Republican effort to block her nomination prior to her Senate run, is that she is an advocate of increasing the very regulations that contributed to the financial meltdown and that prevent suits against Wall Street banks. After all, Wall Street was just complying with Washington’s orders. [...] If she wants a scalp, she should look in the mirror.

1. Projection

[Politicalboi]

2. Of course they will

They are Faux dummies who believe EVERYTHING Faux Noise says. Most opposition from the GOP are lies, so why not this.

3. That didn't take long. Erickson is a total loon.

Less regulations and lax oversight is what caused the financial disaster, because all the players involved knew that they could get away with it beforehand.

If we truly adopted the Republican 'No Government Regulations!' mantra as policy, our entire financial and monetary system would collapse inside of three years, completely destroying our economy in the process, and taking the banking system with it.

4. I remember it well, Warren advocating for mandatory bank corruption, thieving and trickery.

5. Fox is becoming a cartoon caricature....

it is an embarrassment. Do these people not see how ridiculous they look to 99% of the world?

6. She and Byron Dorgan

If they had told the banksters to do what they did they would have done the opposite and we would have been fine. Sure, it doesn't make any sense, but we are explaining Fox News....

7. Typical woman. Give her a little bit of power and she brings the whole system down.

I blame the men also...where were the older overweight white guys when all this was happening ??

Tsk..Tsk...

8. Here we go again,

this is part and parcel of the Power Elite of Washington D.C. and Wall Street trying to silence Ms. Warren with a False Equivalency scenario. Here is how this will play out in the next few days,first the WSJ,next will come Washington Post,then the Ny Times. Mean while,Fake News and Bloomberg with the help of CNBC will turn Ms. Warren into a women of vengeance and disrepute. Watch the side show on your local news at 10.

The big boys got their undies in a bunch big time and they are deathly afraid of Ms. Warren.
