Elizabeth Warren wants to remind us who she is
, was meant to remind us not only of the roots of her political vision, but that she has fans, and lots of them—at Kings Theatre, 3,000 were crammed into the seats and hundreds more waited outside, unable to get in.
But looming over the night like a malaise was the reality of the threat of war. Before both Castro and Warren came on stage, the crowd’s phones dinged with a news alert that an Iranian missile strike had targeted U.S. military bases in Iraq. Suddenly, a full-throated war felt imminent, throwing the festive atmosphere of the rally—the long lines for overpriced beer and wine, the chants, the attempts at kicking off a wave—into a sort of grotesque relief. Warren eventually jogged out to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and took the stage, her arms outstretched. She began the evening by acknowledging the strike.
“We have to start on a very sober note,” she said. “But this is a reminder why we need to de-escalate tension in the Middle East.” She added, “The American people do not want a war with Iran.

And as any former professor, including myself, can tell you, learning to ignore interrupting, entitled students who attempt to derail the class discussion to mask the fact that they haven’t done the reading is a valuable classroom management tool. This skill is also valuable when one is a guest on the View being forced to attempt adult conversation while Meghan McCain is present.
