The Elizabeth Warren Music Video (Got A New Sheriff)

Yeah, you heard me right.  The Elizabeth Warren rap song.

---

A group called the Main Street Brigade has released a Western-themed rap video calling for Elizabeth Warren to be nominated as the first director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. If nothing else, the video shows how Warren, a Harvard law professor and long-time advocate for a consumer agency, has gained cult status among some activists as the White House decides whether to nominate her.

The video features Los Angeles comedian Ryan Anthony Lumas rapping about how the country needs Warren to protect people from banks (“Sheriff Warren is what we need, ya’ll.”) Warren’s picture appears in the video only on the cover of Time magazine, and Lumas makes a sly reference to Oklahoma, where Warren grew up. (Note the horseshoe around Lumas’s neck. He wears it in some shots, not in others and at one point it flies off while he’s dancing.)

The Main Street Brigade doesn’t provide much information about itself on its website, though it appears to align closely with consumer and liberal groups that have pushed for tougher regulation of Wall Street. The group describes itself as “a rapid response team, nationwide, that can be activated to protect our communities” from “devastation” by the banking industry.
