Elizabeth Warren Trolls Hillary Clinton

Elizabeth Warren is trolling Hillary Clinton again. The liberal darling tweeted a not-so-subtle jibe aimed at the Democratic frontrunner on Thursday, touting the support of Hillary's opponents for a lobbying reform bill authored by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.).

Warren is a cosponsor of Baldwin's bill, known as the Financial Services Conflict of Interest Act, which would crack down on the so-called "revolving door" between government and the lobbing industry, for example, by increasing the amount of time a former public official must wait before actively lobbying the federal government on behalf of private sector clients.

It remains to be seen whether Clinton will side with Warren or with her lobbyist friends who have already helped her raised a ton of money for her presidential campaign. One can guess where Clinton's true loyalties lie. On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee announced that it would lift its previous ban on donations from lobbyists to fund the 2016 Democratic convention.
