Elizabeth Warren Rips Into Romney at Obama Fund-Raiser in Boston



“This election will be about whose side you stand on,” said Ms. Warren, repeating a line that she frequently uses on the campaign trail. “Over the past few years, I’ve seen whose side the president stands on.”

Drawing on her work as a special aide in the Obama administration, where she created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Ms. Warren praised Mr. Obama’s work on financial reform.

“Big banks and Republicans fought tooth and nail against us, they vowed this agency would never become law. And when the money poured in, when the pressure mounted against us and when we were on the ropes, President Obama stood firm,” Ms. Warren said. “He planted his feet, he squared his shoulders, and he said, We will stop the cheating, we will stop the tricks and traps.”

Ms. Warren used the theme of financial regulation a second time to deride Mr. Romney.

“They want to repeal all of the financial reforms,” Ms. Warren said of Mr. Romney and Congressional Republicans.
