Maybe Democrats have decided that, in the era of Trump, honesty is no longer required. Or maybe Pocahontas is just too insecure to tell the truth about her own life.
Ask her constituents in Massachusetts and they may remind you that the senator also fibbed when she promised to serve her full Senate term if reelected in 2018. Her 2020 presidential run began a few weeks after she won that election.
Perhaps she knows that she can’t sell far-left policy proposals, such a Medicare for all without ample embellishment. So, too, an individual as intelligent as Pocahontas must know that her own background, as a millionaire whose children attended private school, doesn’t fit easily with her soak-the-rich rhetoric.
Maybe she doesn't want to let her voters in on the secret about her campaign: There's nothing populist about it. Commentators often lump Warren's run in with that of Crazy Bernie. But Bernie's base comes from the young and the working class, while Pocahontas' base is mostly highly educated baby boomers who surely feel a warm glow from the belief they are part of some populist uprising.
Sadly, her backers are basically on a slightly remodeled version of the Hillary Express
