Oh no, a woman said sharp words about a man
Yet more from Mister Coffee.
People need real opportunities to help themselves, not unrealistic policies and promises. Genuine opportunities, like the ones I had, which helped me leave the housing projects of Brooklyn and realize my dreams. #ReimagineUS pic.twitter.com/oUBxTN57iW

He’s gonna restore faith in the American dream!
The American dream is to grow up in the projects in Canarsie and then invent coffee and become a billionaire. The American dream is not equality or justice, not a living wage for all, not a national health, not immediate effective action to reverse climate change so that future generations will have a chance to exist – no no, none of that Weird Crazy Unrealistic stuff which would involve raising marginal tax rates on the super-rich. The American dream is winning a lottery! Dream big, kids – until the droughts and crop failures and mass migrations make it too difficult.
When someone who is uber rich starts talking about “genuine opportunities”, they always mean “These people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps”. None of these rich people ever think they might have had opportunities others don’t have…
I’ve been seeing stories of Schultz having used the term “fauxahontas” to refer to Sen. Warren in a tweet which has been deleted. Wouldn’t surprise me.
clamboy,
Schultz’s official account didn’t use the term itself, but it re-tweeted (and called “insightful”) an article from some right-wing author that called Warren that, and also said something snide about Kamala Harris. Schultz is now blaming an intern for the tweet.
