When an Iowa student asked Sen. Warren a tearful question about family rejection, the Democratic presidential hopeful responded with a story of her own.
“My mother and I had very different views of how to build a future,” Warren said. “She wanted me to marry well. And I really tried. And it just didn’t work out — and there came a day when I had to call her and say, ‘This is over, I can’t make it work.’”
“I heard the disappointment in her voice; I knew how she felt about it,” Warren, who divorced her first husband at 22, continued. “But I also knew it was the right thing to do. And sometimes you just gotta do what’s right inside and hope that maybe the rest of the world will come around to it. And maybe they will, maybe they won't. The truth is you gotta take care of yourself first and do this.”Later, on Twitter, Stecker shared a photo of her asking the question.
