'I am angry and I own it.' Elizabeth Warren has a message for those attacking her as angry: Yes, she is. 'Over and over,' she writes, 'we are told that women are not allowed to be angry. It makes us unattractive to powerful men who want us to be quiet.'
On Friday afternoon, the Massachusetts Democrat, in a fundraising email for her presidential campaign, addressed the innuendo stoked this week by former Vice President Joe Biden and others who have cast her as a elitist ideologue. "I am angry and I own it," the subject line read. "Over and over," Warren wrote below,"we are told that women are not allowed to be angry. It makes us unattractive to powerful men who want us to be quiet.
Despite the more forward wording, Warren's email offered a different flavor of the same message she regularly delivers to supporters on the campaign trail. Lines in the email detailing her anger"on behalf of everyone who is hurt by Trump's government, our rigged economy, and business as usual," were nearly indistinguishable from her stump speech.Her frustration, Warren has said throughout the campaign, does not hold some distorting grip on her politics.
