If Elizabeth Warren’s own employees don’t trust her, why should the American people? In the latest crappy optics stumble, Warren’s campaign just hired a guy who doesn’t trust her. Is it because she lied about being an Indian princess? Is because she lied about getting fired from a teaching job for being pregnant? Nope and nope. Her newest hire doesn’t trust her because she doesn’t drink coffee. Sure, this is dumb but it shows what a terrible job Warren would do running this country if she can’t even manage a small presidential campaign.
In some super-exciting news, Warren has a new campaign spokesman:
Excited to announce that I’m joining @TeamWarren as her newest spokesman out of HQ! Can’t tell you all how excited I am to get on the front lines of @ewarren‘s fight for Big Structural Change.

This wouldn’t normally be anything anyone would pay attention to but conservative Tweet Star Comfortably Smug noticed a sticky conflict of interest with this new hire:

As you can see Will Baskin-Gerwitz’s Twitter bio clearly states he doesn’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink coffee. But wait, what’s this from MassLive:
US Sen. Elizabeth Warren doesn’t drink coffee
If you’re looking to face off against US Sen. Elizabeth Warren, this may be something to put in the opposition research file: The Cambridge Democrat admits she doesn’t drink coffee.
…she doesn’t touch the stuff herself, she acknowledged during a town hall forum with Jennifer Smith, the news editor of the local newspaper Dorchester Reporter and a coffee buff.
“When you need coffee very, very badly, where do you go?” Smith asked.
“So, uh, we’ve got a Dunkin’ at Porter Square near my house,” Warren said. “We’ve got – see, I have to be ecumenical about this.”
“No, no,” Smith pressed. “If you have every single coffee shop lined up in front of you and you go to one of them, is it really Dunkin’?”
“Uh,” Warren said, and then paused.
“Okay,” Warren continued. “All right. All right. I’m going to have to come clean on this. I don’t drink coffee.”
The senator said she had a “half a cup” at a Dunkin’ Donuts store five years ago “and I’m still working it off.”
“I love the smell of it,” she added. “I’m married to a coffee addict. And I love every part of the coffee scene. But I actually can’t drink it. I just kind of absorb the caffeine out of the air.”
Warren’s people probably should have vetted this guy a little better, but wow, does Elizabeth Warren even sound full of shit denying she drinks coffee? No wonder Baskin-Gerwitz doesn’t trust her.
This interview came in January of 2018 so this was when Warren was still living the lie that she was of Native American heritage. It’s possible that she believed at the time that “her people” didn’t drink coffee. She’s so disingenuous that it’s impossible to tell what’s real about her.
It doesn’t really matter if Warren actually drinks coffee or not because she’s on the record of being against it and that’s a problem for her new hire who is on the record not trusting people who don’t drink coffee. I’m sure Warren’s people hired top PR people to put this fire out:
HAHAHAHAAHAHHA

Just like Warren scrubbed her campaign of that video she made after taking the DNA test that proved she’s 1/1024th Indian, Baskin-Gerwitz’s twitter bio has been wiped. It’s like it never happened.
He’s lucky he works for Elizabeth Warren and not Hillary Clinton because he would have been “suicided” for this insolence.
