In a moment that perfectly encapsulates the growing hostility from the Left toward accountability, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren was caught on camera physically **shoving a conservative journalist** simply for asking tough—but fair—questions. The video, shared by conservative commentator Nick Sortor, has since gone viral, racking up millions of views and sparking outrage across social media.
The confrontation took place on February 10, 2025, on a public sidewalk—yes, public, despite Warren’s aides trying to act otherwise—where Sortor calmly confronted the Massachusetts senator over her **opposition to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)**. The department, spearheaded by entrepreneur Elon Musk, has made waves in Washington for daring to do something almost unthinkable: track government waste and shine a spotlight on fraud, bloated budgets, and insider profiteering.
As Sortor pressed the senator on why she’s been so vehemently against DOGE, he asked a question that millions of Americans have wondered:
“How did you get a \$12 million net worth on a \$200,000 salary in Congress?”
Rather than answer, Warren’s response was as physical as it was evasive. In the video, the senator is seen shoving and elbowing Sortor as he attempts to follow up. “You just elbowed me, senator,” he said in real time, catching the entire altercation on video. “I got that on camera!”
Sortor didn’t hold back online.
“Elizabeth Warren just ASSAULTED me on camera for asking her WHY she’s so against DOGE & transparency,” he wrote. “Or maybe it was because I asked Pocahontas how she amassed a net worth of over \$12 MILLION on a \$200K government salary.”
The “Pocahontas” nickname, of course, is a reference to Warren’s infamous and long-debunked claim of Native American heritage—one she used to advance her academic and political career. It’s yet another symbol of how the senator has skirted accountability for years.
Elon Musk himself chimed in on the post, asking a question that cuts to the core:
“Has anyone tracked how she got \$12M from a \$200k salary?”
Sortor replied that Warren’s \$12 million estimate is likely the floor—not the ceiling—of her real financial situation, stating, “She had the opportunity to explain it, but chose not to. Taxpayers deserve to know! DOGE should get on the case!”
And that’s the heart of this story: **Democrats like Elizabeth Warren claim to champion the little guy while padding their own pockets and using taxpayer-funded power to dodge scrutiny.** When asked direct questions, they resort to scripted talking points—or, in this case, outright **assault**.
While the Left used to chant “no one is above the law,” incidents like this show just how hollow that slogan has become in their hands. Imagine the media hysteria if a Republican senator had shoved a progressive journalist. But when Elizabeth Warren does it? Crickets from the legacy media.
Thankfully, independent voices like Sortor and oversight efforts like DOGE are shining light in the dark corners of government—and judging by Warren’s reaction, that light is exposing something she’d rather keep hidden.
