    Ryan's right about this -- it's a ridiculous smear agains Warren.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1222252214334492673 …

    People, a janitor and a maintenance man are the same damn thing. They maintain buildings. It's two names for the same job. One of Warren's Republican brothers has a classist hang up with the title janitor, you don't need to play along https://twitter.com/MikePrysner/status/1221912603250708481 …

        No. A custodian and a janitor are the same. A maintenance man has additional skills, like replacing light bulbs or cleaning out a toilet. Ask your union people.

        No. In a union, they are called Sationary Engineers, but the title doesn't matter. Ask your union people

        it’s not necessarily to give her the benefit of the doubt aren’t journalists supposed to be adversarial?

        Every background smear against Warren is generally nonsense and also completely immaterial to how she does her job as Senator, how she did it before as a consumer advocate, and how she would as president. People who know her are over the top in seeing her as honest, genuine, good

        I mean, it's a dumb smear, but they absolutely are not the same job. Maintenance crews have to have specific qualifications, are usually full time, and have more responsibilities and duties. Go ask any maintenance person you usually interact with and ask if they are a janitor.

        the problem is that ID-ing her father as a low-status working class janitor fits into the narrative that she shades her personal history for political purposes, as in the Native American thing they're looking for a "but her emails" smear that will stick
