When Elizabeth Warren got a question on housing discrimination at a campaign event this week, she went into full wonk mode — and the diverse crowd packed into a middle school auditorium ate it up
BEAUFORT, S.C. — .
“Based on the fact that we've got a self-proclaimed nationalist in the presidential office, it's really important that we don't run away from identity politics,” said LaTosha Brown, founder of Black Voters Matter. “Elizabeth is not.” “No one,” Shropshire said, “is raising the flag around any of these other candidates in the same way.”by one of her presidential rivals and six members of the Congressional Black Caucus. And in South Carolina, Warren delivered the details herself: If elected president she’d propose building 3.2 million new housing units, and federal assistance will go to any person of color who lives or lived in a redlined area, who is a first-time homebuyer or who lost a home.
“I give her kudos for coming to the Deep South and not running away from areas that she cares about,” said Brown, who is from Selma, Alabama. “And that are probably not going to offer any electoral college votes for her.” Ifeoma Ike, who worked on Doug Jones’ long-shot but ultimately successful Alabama Senate bid, said Warren is one of the candidates she’s “paid attention to from jump” and praised the senator’s “smart economic policy.”
