Elizabeth Warren rallies the faithful at a Malden town hall
Source: Boston Globe
MALDEN — US Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed President Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, his abandoned voter fraud inquiry, and his attacks on judicial independence, freedom of the press, and the very concept of agreed-upon facts, as she held her first town hall meeting of 2018.
The fiery Cambridge Democrat said Trump has made “one attack after another on the basic foundation of democracy, of how it works, but at the same moment — the very same moment — democracy has found a way to reinvent itself.”
Speaking in an auditorium at Malden High School before a supportive crowd estimated at 1,100, Warren elicited frequent applause with her broadsides against Trump and discussion of economic inequality and the challenge of achieving the American Dream today, particularly for immigrants and people of color.

Addressing the crowd earlier, Warren said Republican economic policies have shifted the balance so that American productivity makes the very rich even richer while sharing no gains with workers.
