Well, this makes no sense.
Sen. Warren, who is for Medicare-for-all, is jumping on the Culinary Union attack-wagon and going after Bernie Sanders and his supporters after the powerful Nevada union said in a flyer that Sanders — AND WARREN — are for Medicare-for-all which would end their much-loved health plan:
No one should attack @Culinary226 and its members for fighting hard for themselves and their families. Like them, I want to see every American get high-quality and affordable health care—and I’m committed to working with them to achieve that goal. https://t.co/onVqAcZRoB
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 13, 2020
So her last-gasp at the nomination is to switch from Medicare-for-all to ” I want to see every American get high-quality and affordable health care”?
Another underhanded shot at Bernie's supporters, and at a time when Warren no longer has a viable path to the nomination. https://t.co/gZaNAEbwAN

That’s not what she’s been saying:
Affordable is code word for “not for everyone” which isn’t M4A https://t.co/65E3TjyoKZ

She’s so bad at this:
Everyone who said Warren wasn’t commited to Medicare for All was right https://t.co/g6669COva7

It’s going to be fun watching them eat each other over the next few weeks:
The Culinary Union leadership has been openly speaking out against Medicare for All. Here Elizabeth Warren sides with them against unhappy tweeters — sorry “attackers”. She does not support Medicare for All and we are done talking about it forever https://t.co/MF8dIIzA1F

Psst: She’s just like the rest of them:
Elizabeth Warren is literally taking shots at Bernie Sanders supporters in defense of a union that attacked the Vermont Senator over Medicare-for-all.
How anyone still thinks she's about that policy is beyond me. https://t.co/4DFJEcUXsV

And remember when libs thought they would team up?
Hum another blow to the mythical non-existent “progressive pact” https://t.co/sPOyGdfbhL

We’re OK with it though:
Earlier I wondered what Warren was going to do with her floundering campaign, and it seems that training all her fire on Sanders on the way down is the plan https://t.co/aT52fzGbTW

Maybe don’t put so much faith in politicians in the first place?
The direction Warren has decided to take her campaign is profoundly disappointing. It would undoubtedly be good to see cooperation between her and Sanders in the future, but her campaign is currently doing everything it can to undermine that possibility. https://t.co/GZVOENXy2X
