Democrats are scrambling ahead of the 2018 elections in hopes they can gain a leg up on power in the country. The party is going through a rebranding process since it can’t seem to win in Trump’s America. The media is doing what it can to help in that process, as evidenced by The Boston Globe’s rekindled love for Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

It wasn’t that long ago that The Globe went to bat for Warren, backing up her claim that she is Native American. The paper touted that she was 1/32nd Cherokee, even though that was totally debunked, making retractions necessary.

Now, The Globe is stepping up to the plate again by pumping her Christian faith which up to this point in her political career has barely been mentioned. As Legal Insurrection noted, the title of the piece was more general, “Religion is constant part of Elizabeth Warren’s life,” but The Globe’s Twitter promotion got straight to the point:

Who knew?

But it wasn’t easy for The Globe to churn out this narrative. It was a hard lemon to squeeze:

Much less well known is Warren’s relationship with God. 

The senator’s personal religious views are part of her life that few if any of her supporters or detractors think of when they contemplate the Massachusetts lawmaker, who has built a national reputation on the strength of her populism and is on many political observers’ short list of likely 2020 White House contenders.

But religious leaders who have known her since her first run for public office say her Christian faith is a constant, if quiet, presence in her life, that it is deep and authentic, and informs her work as a senator.

Just take a moment to reflect on those politicians (we dare argue are mostly Republican) whose Christian faith is so integral to their lives. They talk about it… a lot. Warren’s, though, is much more elusive:

Warren’s religious background is a minor theme in the two political books she published since taking office…

Back in Boston, Warren, who declined to be interviewed for this story, doesn’t have a home church she regularly attends, but she frequently visits a variety of houses of worship — including many African-American churches — around the state, particularly in Boston, according to local religious leaders and aides.

Strange. If Warren’s faith is so interwoven into her life, why doesn’t she have a home church? And why, pray tell, would a Democratic senator go out of her way to be seen at black churches? Those red flags are lost amongst The Globe’s apologia.

We sure wouldn’t want to lead the witness here, but it appears as though Warren’s “Christianity” is politically expedient but The Globe is proclaiming a different gospel.

That's because anything goes when there are elections to win — Native American or Jesus, whatever it takes.
