To be honest, we’re looking for a way that this would make sense in context and that we’re not just seeing the part of the clip where Sen. Elizabeth Warren says there are two co-equal branches of government. Why? Because we want to be fair. But after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez failed the same quiz with her chambers of government, maybe the setup of the U.S. government isn’t that widely known.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) doesn't know how many branches of government exist: "There are two co-equal branches of government, the president of the United States and the Congress"

The Notorious RBG is gonna be ticked off that she’s been forgotten again.
Friendly reminder: Elizabeth Warren is a Harvard Professor. ?

She was 2/3rds correct, which I suppose is better than 1/1024th correct.

Wow! @AOC qualifies as her running mate

Flashback to last November:
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "If we work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress — Uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House."

@SenatorWarren 4th grade social studies. Did they not teach you that on the reservation?

Well, in fairness, she was a quota hire at Harvard.

In fairness to Senator Warren, perhaps, Democrats view their activist judiciary confirmations as an extension of the legislative branch.

Valid point.
Another page out of AOC’s playbook. pic.twitter.com/mLdGp5ENje
