Fading presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren launched a series of scathing attacks on billionaire Mike Bloomberg Monday; telling supporters in Colorado the former Mayor of New York City is blaming the 2008 financial crisis on “African Americans and Latinos.”
“Giant banks have figured out that they can target people, particularly communities of color… That was the crash of 2008 — no, Mike Bloomberg, you don’t get to blame it on African Americans and Latinos,” screamed Warren.

Warren called for the total debt relief of Puerto Rico on social media Friday; saying she’s been fighting for the island “long before the hurricanes.”
“I’ve been fighting for Puerto Rico since long before the hurricanes. I got involved in the issue of debt and how Wall Street was treating Puerto Rico like a cash cow. They traded in vulture funds and then went to the island and squeezed more and more and more money out of Puerto Rico,” said Warren.

“If Puerto Rico were a city, Puerto Rico could declare bankruptcy, deal with this debt, and be done,” she added.
