New figures show Warren previously misstated how much she received for her work on a controversial case involving coal miners' health benefits.

. In addition to coverage in the media, the case was the subject of an attack ad, news conferences and debate challenges from her opponent in that race, former Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican.

Warren has argued that if LTV’s position had prevailed, the miners would not have lost their benefits because other companies would pay into the fund. Her campaign said in 2012 that in representing the company she had been fighting for a larger principal in bankruptcy law that would protect others with claims against a company undergoing reorganization, as LTV was at the time.

Trumka worried that if Congress or the courts allowed some companies to avoid paying into the Coal Act fund for retired miners, the fund would unravel and “you will have roughly 200,000 miners and beneficiaries out there that will lose their healthcare.” Who was right on that debate is unknowable since the Supreme Court turned down Warren’s petition to review the case. The high court refuses the vast majority of such appeals.

How much you wanna bet Ryan Grim talking about this? Since Sanders supporters hold him accountable. Does this mean Warrens supporters are compliant in the candidate lying 🤥.QueenInYeIIow KyleKulinski OrganizingPower ryangrim

Would that be a 10 on the Hypocrisy Scale?

Every candidate has their weak spot. Biden's is age. Every time he fumbles for words, it comes up. Warren's is honesty. Every time she has to 'revise' an answer, it will come up. The problem with habitual liars is they are unable to rationally see how it hurts them.

ewarren's lies matter.

But please - keep trying to drag Pete

“Elizabeth Warren revises” ..... and revises ..... and revises ... and revises..... How can anyone ‘decide’ to support her only to have her “revise” what you THOUGHT you’d been supporting her for Thanks but no. What we need now is someone who gets it right the FIRST time.

The future of Medicare for all. Obama care was the warning. You'll bring home 5% of your 48 hour paycheck under Democrat socialism, and you'll be considered middle class. A federal property tax will have you selling your home to connect socialists.

She's the Pinocchio of 2020
