Elizabeth Warren is painfully woke — except when it comes to her own campaign's culture of racial hostility.

The Massachusetts Democrat was the first 2020 presidential candidate to endorse affirmative action for nonbinary people , and she has also signaled potential support for slavery reparations and even offered a mea culpa for her white privilege . But new reports reveal that, as is so often the case, Warren’s wokeness is mostly just virtue-signaling and evidently doesn’t actually translate to treating minorities well.

As the Washington Examiner has reported , six minority women have quit Warren’s Nevada campaign due to a perceived toxic work environment. Former field organizer Megan Lewis said there was something “wrong with the culture” and told reporters that she “filed a complaint with HR, but the follow-up I received left me feeling as though I needed to make myself smaller or change who I was to fit into the office culture."

"I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it."

Several of the other women claimed they felt like token minorities in Warren’s campaign. “I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it,” one said . “We all were routinely silenced and not given a meaningful chance on the campaign. Complaints, comments, advice, and grievances were met with an earnest shake of the head and progressive buzzwords but not much else.”

Yikes.

When Warren was confronted during an MSNBC interview over the allegations of a racist campaign environment, she took full accountability and promised to do better. Just kidding.

Rather, Warren blamed “systemic racism” and the “long legacy” of racism in this country as she spat out other buzzwords in an obnoxious attempt to woke her way out of culpability. Warren seemed largely to blame the legacy of racism rather than any real wrongdoing on her part for the negative experiences these minority women had on her campaign. Although the candidate did mouth the words "I'm sorry" while sounding sincere, she still sought to project all the blame elsewhere.

If you're a Democrat, then the racism in your own organization is always someone else's fault, and your excuses will be considered sufficient. https://t.co/GJ8EdASvUL — David Freddoso (@freddoso) February 7, 2020

Warren is largely getting away with it, facing only minimal media backlash and not drawing much condemnation from liberal-leaning minority organizations. It’s hard to imagine a white Republican ever getting away with everything Warren has pulled over the years: lying about being a Native American, repeatedly lying about her background, and now having a racism controversy break out during her presidential campaign.

It's now clear Warren’s real privilege doesn’t come from being white. Her biggest advantage is really just being a Democrat — because Democrats get to play by different rules, apparently.
