The Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren and aspiring beer connoisseur made the poor choice to pick a fight with retired South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and was quickly put back in her place..
“The former Republican South Carolina representative will join Nelson Mullins, the South Carolina-based law and lobbying firm announced,” The Daily Caller wrote.
“Gowdy, 54, worked at Nelson Mullins through 1994, when he left the firm to become an assistant federal prosecutor,” it said.
Gowdy announced that he would never be in politics again or would be a lobbyist, but apparently, Warren did not get the message.
“.@TGowdySC foamed at the mouth with power in Congress, then retired because he claimed he didn’t enjoy it. Now it’s clear: Trey Gowdy just wanted a fat lobbyist paycheck. That should be illegal”, she wrote.

Gowdy corrected Warren on her lies but that didn’t stop her from still spreading them.
“.@ewarren I’m not lobbying. Not now. Or ever. Perhaps you were cracking open a beer when that was announced. Don’t mind your criticisms. Just be more sensitive to facts,” he said.

“We need a lifetime ban on lobbying for members of Congress. And fix the swiss cheese def of “lobbying” so anyone who gets paid to influence Washington has to register. Public service shouldn’t be a launching pad for guys like @TGowdySC & @JoeLieberman to enrich themselves,” she said.

Thankfully, Twitter jumped in and roasted her for the blatant falsehood.
Why should she start being sensitive to facts now? She has been twisting them for years.

We need someone to teach you to drink beer without all the theatrics!! Take some advice now, give up the exploratory committee now and stick to being a bad senator.
