Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is drawing conservative criticism over several recent endorsements after backing progressive Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed ahead of the state’s August Democratic primary.
“After Graham Platner’s implosion, Warren’s endorsement should be viewed as a kiss of death by any Democrat who actually wants to win. Pocahontas clearly has not learned her lesson with toxic socialist candidates and by shamelessly endorsing El-Sayed continues to drag her party straight into electoral oblivion,” RNC National Press Secretary Natalie Baldassarre told Fox News Digital.
Warren, one of the Senate’s most progressive Democrats, has long championed policies favored by the party’s left flank as socialist and democratic socialist ideas gain traction among some Democratic voters.

The Massachusetts Democrat had previously endorsed Platner, calling him her “kind of man” from the campaign trail. He later withdrew from the race after a rape allegation, which he denied, and also faced criticism over a chest tattoo resembling a Nazi-era symbol that he apologized for and covered.
“Abdul is the only candidate in this race not taking corporate money, and he’s fighting to get money out of politics altogether. Abdul’s studied to be a doctor, and he is fighting for every single American to have affordable, high-quality healthcare,” said Warren on X.
Critics swiftly seized on Warren’s endorsement record while attacking El-Sayed over his views on Israel and support for socialist policies.
Among Warren’s endorsements this cycle were Katie Porter in California’s gubernatorial race, Mallory McMorrow in Michigan’s Senate race and Zach Wahls in Iowa’s Senate race. Porter and Wahls lost their respective primaries, while McMorrow suspended her campaign before Michigan voters cast primary ballots.

“From the same person who said Nazi Tattoo-wearing Graham Platner was ‘My kind of man’ before dropping out in disgrace,” wrote the Republican Jewish Coalition. “Elizabeth Warren is a complete and total joke.”
“The hate America Red/Green alliance, embodied,” wrote Fox News Contributor Paul Mauro.
“The kiss of death. Now he’s doomed,” said conservative commentator Robby Soave.

“You say that taking ‘corporate money; is forbidden but you are OK with him taking Super PAC contributions from radical Islamists,” wrote former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
