Massachusetts Senate candidate and former Obama administration official Elizabeth Warren laid into the financial sector for their role in bringing about the recession.

Asked about her position on the Occupy Wall Street protest at last week's Massachusetts Senate debate, Warren said that people have to follow the law, then immediately launched into an invective against the banks.

“The people on Wall Street broke this country, and they did it one lousy mortgage at a time. It happened more than three years ago, and there has been no real accountability, and there has been no real effort to fix it. That’s why I want to run for the United States Senate.”

Warren, the force behind the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau so anathema to Wall Street, has become the front-runner in the race to unseat Sen. Scott Brown — and the financial sector is plotting to undermine her candidacy.
