In one of this year’s best reminders that the Democrats are not sending their best and many of them are as buffoonish as one would guess at first glance, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) released an utterly absurd video over the summer in which she filmed herself whining and nearly crying in her car over the Big, Beautiful Bill.
As background, the BBB was a major win for Republicans in that it slashed funding for what Republicans characterized as wasteful social programs, such as taxpayer-funded healthcare programs that didn’t even require able-bodied users of them to work to stay in the program. Many of those cuts are the basis for the current government shutdown, as Democrats are demanding that Republicans refund the programs that were cut with the passage of the BBB, insisting that the shutdown is about healthcare.
Democrats were equally angry and upset at the time of the bill’s passage, as shown by Liz Warren’s utterly absurd meltdown in her car as the Republicans finally pushed the bill through its final stages and got the cuts enshrined in law. Warren whined and cried over how they cheered for cutting some of the massive welfare giveaways.
Whining with tears in her reddened eyes as she recorded, Warren began by saying, “Leaving the Senate now at the end of the vote, when the Republicans won, they cheered. They cheered over taking away health care from around 17 million people. They cheered over giving huge tax breaks to a handful of billionaires. They cheered over running up the national debt by another three and a half trillion dollars.”
Then, attacking the idea of welfare reform and tax cuts as unspeakably criminal, Warren insisted, “You know, this bill, it’s bad, it’s bad. Economically, it’s bad. Morally, this bill is just wrong. But we stay in the fight. We stay in the fight, we stay in the fight. And we proved why we stay in the fight.”
She then insisted that some parts of the bill were wins for the left, saying, “Actually, there are pieces of this bill that we got better. We got the tax on solar and wind knocked out, and that’s going to help with clean energy. We got a few different pieces and made them better. So that’s reason number one. It’s always the reminder all of those calls matter.”
Giving another example of the supposed wins scored in the bill, she said, falsely, as it turned out, “Reason number two is it is still not over. The bill has now got to go back over to the House, and there are a lot of Republicans who are feeling really squeamish about this bill at this point, so that means we got to stay in the fight.”

Getting to her last example of the supposed victory, the woke senator claimed, still whining and emotional, “And reason number three is, yeah, they may do this now, but come November 2026 they’re going to have to face the voters. They’re going to have to face the people, the families of the people whose health care they took away, and they’re going to have to explain exactly what they just did just now on the floor of the United States Senate and whatever they do next.”
Concluding, the leftist senator remained insistent that Democrats would keep fighting, remaining emotional and whiny as she said as much: “So this is hard, but damn, we stay in the fight. We stay in it not because it’s an easy fight, not because we’re guaranteed to win every time we stay in it, because it’s the right fight.”
