The outcome of the presidential election shocked many people – and they pointed their fingers at misleading polls that didn't do a great job predicting what actually happened.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, days after Americans elected a man for president who she had spent months trying to destroy, told a crowd during an AFL-CIO event that despite "encouraging a toxic stew of hatred and fear," Republican Donald Trump's victory also showed pundits that voter discontent with government and the economy should not have been taken likely.
"Lobbyists in Washington, and Washington insiders, have spent years trying to convince themselves and each other that Americans don't actually believe in this — and now that the returns are in and people have spoken, they are actually out there, waving their hands, trying to dismiss these views as some sort of mass-delusions," Warren said. "Well they are wrong, they are very wrong, the truth is that people have a right to be angry."
