An impassioned Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared on MSNBCs Hardball and made a strong case for fighting to rebuild the middle class through investments in jobs and infrastructure while at times butting heads with host Chris Matthews over the Democratic Partys efforts.
Promoting her new memoir, A Fighting Chance, Warren was challenged by Matthews to explain how Democrats could give Americans real hope for a future with meaningful familiy-building employment that seems to be gone in so much of the country.
Well, you know, this isnt magic, she replied. We actually know how to do this. We did this for nearly half a century, coming out of the great depression until about 1980. We made the investments together that helped build opportunity for all of us.
