Howard Schultz: I don't believe what Elizabeth Warren stands for

I’m deliberately trying to steer clear of much of the daily uproar over Howard Schultz and his odd presidential ambitions, but there was something the former Starbucks CEO said yesterday that’s worth considering in a little more detail.

Responding to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) yesterday, Schultz wrote, “People need real opportunities to help themselves, not unrealistic policies and promises. Genuine opportunities, like the ones I had, which helped me leave the housing projects of Brooklyn and realize my dreams.”

Just this morning he criticized Elizabeth Warren for trying to take the country toward socialism:




Schultz said that Warren came to him for a contribution a few years ago for her Senate race. When asked if he gave her one, he said “I did not”. This shocked the listening ears of the hosts, who asked him why.
“I don’t believe what Elizabeth Warren stands for. I don’t believe the country should be heading toward socialism.”

Even ABC News is now suggesting that Schultz is forcing Democrats into an early reckoning:
You know Democrats have to be chomping at the bit to shut Howard Schultz up, to silence him somehow.

If I were him, I’d watch my back because I guarantee you he’s making a lot of enemies right now on the hard left.
