PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Warren ? Sen. Elizabeth Warren  forgot momentarily that  she  hated the GOP tax bill with every fiber of  her  being during an interview  but quickly remembered that  she âs a hard line Democrat and that the GOP tax bill is bad despite the benefits to  her  constituents  she  had just praised.
According to the Washington Examiner  Fox News host Bret Baier was speaking with  Warren  on  his  show Wednesday and asked  her  if  she  would repeal the tax law the GOP had passed if  she  and  her  Democrat colleagues took over after the midterms.
âWhat we have to do is change it â  Warren  said. âYou got to take out the parts that are giant giveaways to big corporations that right now the Republicans plan for hard-working families to eventually pay for it.â
Baier then brought up the fact that Eversource  a power company in  Warren âs state of Massachusetts  is reducing rates to their customers  thanks to the tax cuts to corporations.
âAnd good for them. Iâm delighted to hear that â said  Warren .
 Warren   however  quickly snapped back into  her  role as an anti-Republican die-hard.
âIt is $1.5 trillion the Republicans gave away to billionaires and to giant corporations â  Warren  said. âAnd they expect hardworking families to just pick up the ticket on that. I want those breaks to go directly to hardworking families. Not to a bunch of rich folks.â
How  Warren  squares that comment with the news that a power company is lightening the burden on working-class families thanks to tax cuts allowing them to do so is anyoneâs guess. You would think the easing of payments toward the people she is claiming to look after would spark some sort of affinity for the tax cuts.
