Sen. Elizabeth Warren: “I’m Not Darth Vader, I’m Princess Leia”
(COMMON DREAMS) Deirdre Fulton, March 18, 2016 — With his “offensive, sexist, and out-of-line” remarks this week about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), whom he likened to Darth Vader, Republican Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) awakened the Force.
In a speech before the American Bankers Association on Wednesday, Leutkemeyer said Warren—a leading voice for Wall Street regulation—was the “Darth Vader of the financial services world” and said bankers should find a way to “neuter” her.
“Luetkemeyer probably thinks that he’ll make big bucks from his Wall Street friends off of his sexist remarks.”—Senator Elizabeth Warren
