Black Staffers Say Warren Used Them As Tokens For Votes

It looks like Warren has a problem keeping her campaign staff diverse. Half a dozen black folks have left her campaign as they feel she only has them around for appearances. This from the candidate that wants to make sure the White House is diverse.

A half-dozen women of color have departed Elizabeth Warren’s Nevada campaign in the run-up to the state’s caucuses with complaints of a toxic work environment in which minorities felt tokenized and senior leadership was at loggerheads.

The six staffers have left the roughly 70-person Nevada team since November, during a critical stretch of the race. Three of them said they felt marginalized by the campaign, a situation they said didn’t change or worsened after they took their concerns to their superiors or to human resources staff.

“During the time I was employed with Nevada for Warren, there was definitely something wrong with the culture,” said Megan Lewis, a field organizer who joined the campaign in May and departed in December. “I filed a complaint with HR, but the follow-up I received left me feeling as though I needed to make myself smaller or change who I was to fit into the office culture.”

Another recently departed staffer, also a field organizer, granted anonymity because she feared reprisal, echoed that sentiment. “I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it,” she said in an interview.

She added: “We all were routinely silenced and not given a meaningful chance on the campaign. Complaints, comments, advice, and grievances were met with an earnest shake of the head and progressive buzzwords but not much else.” A third former field organizer who was also granted anonymity said those descriptions matched her own experience.

The other three women who recently left the campaign did not respond to requests for comment. One of the departed staffers declined to be interviewed because she feared professional consequences in an arena where it’s already difficult for women of color to advance, according to another ex-Warren employee who spoke with her about the situation.”

It seems ever since Warren lost her Native American Heritage she has been struggling to pick up the minority vote.

  • The CoonRAT party can’t even spell the word diverse. Look at the morons field running for president, Old white guys, and one old wore out with gal, that’s a liar. Oh, and one gay guy.

  • And those staffers will go to some other democrat expecting a different result but as we all know….once on the Democrat plantation , always on the plantation

  • Black American need to realize that they are only of value to the Democrats if they vote for democrats. With more people involved with Blexit, the more the democrats will turn to allowing non citizens and illegals to vote, providing they vote democrat. As LBJ stated after signing the Great Society, ” Now we’ll have those n***s voting democrat for the next 200 years.

  • Not the first time this has happened to Black Americans by the Democratic Party AND I guarantee, it won’t the last time either. Remember Hillary brought along the “hot sauce” during her pathetic failed campaign and now Biden claims to have “come out of the Black Community”.

    Democrats try to talk a “good” talk to pander for votes but actions speak louder than words. Thankfully now, their empty words and promises are starting to fall on deaf ears and hopefully more Black Americans are beginning to wise up.

    • remember when biden was speaking at that rally with all of those blacks & he declared that DJT and the republicans would put them all back on the plantation ?????? what a maggot !!!

  • DEMOCRATS: it’s time to set the record straight < < > > > > The Commie Democrats Are The True Racist < < < < <

  • Trump pandered to black voters too. He decreased your unemployment. He raised your pay. He is working to improve your cities. He is giving tax money to HBCUs. etc., etc., etc.

  • Liz is still a good Democrat. Democrats are Democrats, Über Alles. Lying, Ignorance, Bribery, Hypocrisy, Antisemitism, Hate, Inappropriate sexual relationship, Deceiving, Obfuscating, attacking women, Jews, Muslims, Asian-Americans and African Americans, Prevaricators, Racism, Lying, Ignorance, Bribery, Hypocrisy, Antisemitism, misleading, Plagiarism, Perjurers, Communists, all Democrat résumé enhancements.

  • DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao! NOW? NOW, they’re just figuring this out??????

  • They’re in self-destruct mode or eating their own mode. Either way, every day they lose more and more creditability and support … and supporters are running to the Republican Party.
    Buttplug has been found to fib a plenty and add a clap track to recorded speeches. Biden, Squaw Grey Beaver, Commie Clown, Bloomingidiot, just babble on and on to rooms ‘packed’ with 20-30 elderly people (probably waiting for their afternoon jello treat).
    Their next “free stuff” fest/debate should be interesting…just make sure none carry knives or clubs to the stage.

  • NOT LIE-A-WATHA….she wouldn’t do that ….just like she wouldn’t hide behind one of her staff after getting off a private jet, then demand all of us accept her “new green deal” program and stop driving cars and using commercial jets to travel

  • “Black Staffers Say Warren Used Them As Tokens For Votes” Isn’t that what Demorats always do? I have watched them do it for about 65 years now. Wake up black people. Demorats will not help you. They will just use you.
