Bankers not laughing as hard as rest of Internet over Warren's remark

Not everyone is chuckling over Sen. Elizabeth Warren's ballsy performance this week. The recently elected Massachusetts Democrat stumped a room full of financial regulators during her first Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing by by asking them point blank when anyone had last taken a bank to trial (about 0:40 in the video above). She got an immediately positive response from the masses, but as the embarrassing video goes viral, Wall Street executives and business lobbyists are responding differently. They have called Warren's questioning "deeply unfair" and accused her of "shameless grandstanding" and competing to be the "most extreme fringe freshman senator." Others online continue to largely praise Warren, referring to her as "Senator Elizabeth Warren, noted badass," but the response is decided less one-sided. [Source]
