Sen. Elizabeth Warren has principles. And if you don’t like them, she has others.

The struggling 2020 Democratic primary candidate on Thursday continued her personal crusade against Michael Bloomberg, declaring at a town hall event that the sexist and demeaning comments the former New York City mayor allegedly made in 1990 disqualify him from the presidency.

Immediately after she characterized Bloomberg as unfit to occupy the White House, Warren clarified she would support him if he wins the Democratic nomination.

She really will say and do whatever is necessary to get ahead.

Warren’s latest act of political cowardice came amid a broader discussion with CNN’s Erin Burnett regarding Bloomberg’s late entrance into the 2020 Democratic primary and his performance this week at a debate in Las Vegas.

The former mayor, Burnett recounted, claimed Wednesday that the things he reportedly said in the past, including referring to members of the British royal family as “fat broad” and "horsey faced lesbian," were merely off-color jokes.

“That just doesn't cut it,” Warren said.

The CNN audience clapped.

“So do you think that would be disqualifying in and of itself to be president of the United States?

Warren responded, “Yes, I do."

"I think that when a man," the Massachusetts senator continued, "who is a billionaire – you know, can we all just remember the power relationship about what's going on here?”

“Who calls people names like ‘fat broad’ and ‘horse-faced lesbian,’” Warren added, “and who knows what else, because of the nondisclosure agreements … think what that must be like, to work in a company or to be someone else trying to make it in that field, and you're up against the owner of the company, a multi-multibillionaire, someone finally says, this is bad enough, I'm going to raise a complaint, I'm going to go to a lawyer, or I'm going to go to HR, I'm going to raise a complaint.”

That sort of thing takes bravery, Warren marveled.

“You've got to admit,” the senator said, “that takes a lot to be able to do that, and that the consequence of it is: He dumps some money on it and then stuffs a gag in the woman's mouth. If he's not willing to remove those gags and let those women and maybe those men talk, then he is disqualified from being president of the United States.”

The CNN audience clapped.

“So you have said,” the CNN anchor continued, “and this is important, when you say disqualifying because you have said you'll support the Democratic nominee for president.”

“I will support the Democratic nominee,” Warren said.

Burnett asked, “What if it's Michael Bloomberg?”

“Look,” Warren responded, “I will support the Democratic nominee because I believe that everyone on that stage would make a better president than Donald Trump. I'm in.”

So, that is a “yes.” Warren will support Bloomberg as a nominee, even though he is disqualified, according to Warren.

Honestly, were it not for the senator's brazen flip-flop this week on accepting cash from Super Political Action Committees, her agreeing to support Bloomberg as the nominee even after characterizing him as a retrograde, sexist pig would be the most embarrassing thing she did this week.

If you are surprised by any of this, you shouldn't be. This is the exact sort of behavior we should expect from Warren. Duplicitous and principle-free is her brand.
