Elizabeth Warren was on Stephen Colbert’s show last night, and the Late Show host was trying to get her to admit that taxes would increase on everybody if her Medicare for All plan were to be implemented:
Warren's obfuscation is becoming comical now:
"Are you going to raise middle class taxes?”
"Right."
"Are you going to raise middle class taxes?”
"Here's the thing."
"Are you going to raise middle class taxes?”
"Here's how were going to do this." https://t.co/x2zzTEKr4V

Amazing she is only starting to get pushed on this now. She's been slipping past this question for months.

Colbert was even good enough to give Warren some advice on how to tell middle-class voters why paying more taxes would supposedly be in their best interest:

At least the Dems can rest easy knowing that they’ve got the nation’s late-night comedians on their side to help pitch their plans to the masses.
Warren still refuses to admit what even Colbert will acknowledge

Warren sure was doing a lot of spinning on that one.
