The incident occurred on February 10, 2025, on a public sidewalk—indeed, public, despite Warren’s aides attempting to suggest otherwise—where Sortor calmly confronted the Massachusetts senator regarding her **opposition to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)**. This department, led by entrepreneur Elon Musk, has stirred significant discussion in Washington for daring to undertake something nearly unimaginable: monitoring government waste and highlighting fraud, inflated budgets, and insider profiteering.
As Sortor pressed the senator on her strong opposition to DOGE, he posed a question that millions of Americans have pondered: “How did you accumulate a $12 million net worth on a $200,000 salary in Congress?”
Instead of providing an answer, Warren’s reaction was as physical as it was evasive. In the footage, the senator is observed shoving and elbowing Sortor as he attempts to follow up. “You just elbowed me, senator,” he remarked in real time, capturing the entire confrontation on video. “I got that on camera!”
Sortor did not hold back in his online commentary.
“Elizabeth Warren just ASSAULTED me on camera for inquiring why she is so opposed to DOGE & transparency,” he stated. “Or perhaps it was because I questioned Pocahontas about how she accumulated a net worth exceeding $12 MILLION on a $200K government salary.”
The nickname “Pocahontas,” of course, refers to Warren’s notorious and long-debunked assertion of Native American heritage—one she leveraged to further her academic and political ambitions. It serves as yet another emblem of how the senator has evaded accountability for years.
Elon Musk himself contributed to the discussion on the post by posing a question that strikes at the essence: “Has anyone tracked how she obtained $12 million from a $200,000 salary?”
Sortor responded by suggesting that Warren’s $12 million figure is probably the minimum—not the maximum—of her actual financial circumstances, asserting, “She had the chance to clarify, but opted not to. Taxpayers have a right to know! DOGE should investigate this!”
This encapsulates the essence of the narrative: **Democrats such as Elizabeth Warren profess to advocate for the common person while enriching themselves and utilizing taxpayer-funded authority to evade scrutiny.** When confronted with straightforward inquiries, they default to rehearsed responses—or, in this instance, blatant **aggression**.
While the Left once rallied behind the mantra “no one is above the law,” occurrences like this illustrate how vacuous that phrase has become in their grasp. Consider the media uproar if a Republican senator had physically confronted a progressive journalist. Yet when Elizabeth Warren engages in such behavior? Silence from the mainstream media.
Fortunately, independent figures like Sortor and oversight initiatives like DOGE are illuminating the shadowy areas of government—and judging by Warren’s response, that illumination is revealing matters she would prefer to keep concealed.
