Elizabeth Warren just kept a wholesome Twitter post about her dog, Bailey, eating up the birthday burrito; and the internet…they must have had some thoughts. The senator had posted a picture of her dog staring down the snack and captioning it, “Bailey made quick work of his birthday burrito.” Isn’t that just cute? The comments soon escalated into a fierce assault on the mention of Pocahontas.

Normalistic takes first: User Oakley294524 actually praised Warren for being relatable: “This is what makes me like you! Tell the truth and be a real person!” Consider it the lone unburnt popcorn kernel at the bottom of the microwave. The rest? Pure chaos.
Robyn (@USA_Robyn) opened the festivities with “Nice try pretending to be normal,” laying the foundation for a cascade of political snarks, conspiracy theories, and very unusual canine insults. Donald Owen (@DonaldO79697359) found some sorrowful note linked to the dog’s burrito fixation: “Looks so sad. Poor dog.” Then, Cyberlocoweed.eth (@Eetadeek) got his tin foil-hat moment: “That’s probably not really your dog. It’s unlike you to ever be truthful. If you had a dog it would probably bite you.”
Cue the Native American jokes-because, of course. User GuitarAnon17 wondered if the rug in the photo was “1/1024 Native American,” while JM Preece (@JmKitchings) mused if the dog “identifies as an Indian, like you.” Florida Man CLW (@FloridamanClw) abided with: “Is he native american?” The commentary kept alive dredging Warren-like controversies over her previous claims of Indigenous heritage.
Some took the burrito personally. JoeBar7788 (@JoeBar7788) accused Warren of attempted dog poisoning: “She was trying to poison her dog. Proof Democrats are heartless, soulless, godless people.” Meanwhile, jdmart99 (@jdmart99) lectured her on “privilege” for birthday burritos when “thousands of starving, homeless dogs” don’t get any. Priorities, indeed.
The weirdest flex? HighDesertFree (@HighDesertFree) claiming Bailey “thanks big pharma for all the grift so he can live in that fancy crib.” Because obviously, a dog eating a burrito is part of a vast pharmaceutical conspiracy. Meanwhile, lilsistweets (@lilsistweets) declared “Dogs are a privilege” with a link to an unrelated political rant.
Not everyone was roasting Warren: Linda Irving (@LindaIr83064164) slipped in a hopeful “You will save us from Donald,” proving that even in a tweet about a dog burrito, politics finds a way. The first half of the replies was nothing short of murderous: cancel_pig (@cancel_pig) declared Warren “FOREVER be remembered as Pocahontas” and “one of the most HATED people in American history.”

The takeaway? Posting a cute dog pic on the internet is like throwing raw meat in piranha waters-especially if you are a kind of polarizing figure politically. Warren’s attempt at a little bit of fun went astray, ranging from policy critiques to bizarre racial jokes. Bailey? He just wanted that burrito. Smart dog.
