Along with the field of Democrats competing for the 2020 nomination comes with it all the accompanying stories in the media about what the candidates were doing years before they decided to run. This Politico Magazine piece caught our eye for what former Obama staffers are quoted as having said about Elizabeth Warren and her staff:
Obama administration officials call Warren a “professional critic,” “sanctimonious,” and a “condescending narcissist.” One former Treasury aide puts it this way: “We’re with Barack. We’re the liberals. Why are you pissing in our face?” https://t.co/iMNz3QH1d5

“She loved herself and some of her staff had a God view of her and that’s not aligned with government and bureaucrats which require teamwork," one former Obama administration official said of Warren. https://t.co/dTLWcaHcll

"Other Obama administration officials call her a “professional critic,” “sanctimonious,” and a “condescending narcissist.” Lots of brave blind quotes in this Politico piece. https://t.co/n7E6SZGpPs

From The Hill:
Former members of the Obama administration leveled criticism at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during an interview with Politico Magazine, reflecting lingering acrimony over her work to found the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
In interviews with Politico Magazine, former administration officials called the now-presidential contender a “condescending narcissist,” “sanctimonious,” and a “professional critic.”
“She loved herself and some of her staff had a God view of her and that’s not aligned with government and bureaucrats which require teamwork,” one former Obama administration official said of Warren.

Right, I'm sure Obama staffers can't fathom having a God view of their boss. https://t.co/ZpWbfqdljA

And if there's anyone that would know what it's like for staff to have a God-complex for their boss, it's an Obama staffer. https://t.co/8uHosQF27D

Self-awareness has never been a big trait of many former Obama staffers, so even though the officials quoted aren’t named, their words sound quite believable.
