Pompeo "has been so fixated on (Soleimani) that he even sought to get a visa to Iran in 2016 when he was a congressman from Kansas... he wanted to try to confront Soleimani when he was there.” https://t.co/lmph3HyBIj @NicoleCNN @jamiegangel — PolitiTweet.org

A preview of the kind of outreach to minority voters Castro will try to do on Warren’s behalf: He says “I’m proud to support her on behalf of each and every one of those migrants out there who are simply dreaming of” a good life in America. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Warren: "My 3 brothers all served in the military... My heart and my prayers are with our military and with their families in Iraq and around the world. This is a reminder of why we need to de-escalate tension in the Middle East. The American people do not want a war with Iran." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Even before acknowledging Castro, Warren first addresses Iraq: "We have to start on a very sober note. For any of you who haven’t been able to follow it, within the last hour, the Iranian govt has announced that it has sent missiles to attack our military bases in Iraq." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Even with the event starting an hour late, the audience here in Brooklyn has been responding very enthusiastically to Castro's speech so far. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Castro: "Now, as you all know, I also ran for President. And I’m proud of the campaign that we ran." Says "I don't have to guess what kind of president" Warren is going to be, and that he observed what kind of senator she was and worked with her when he was HUD sec. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Castro also addresses the situation in PR: "Our hearts go out to the people of the island of Puerto Rico today who already have endured so much loss after Hurricane Maria." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Right off the top, Castro addresses the news breaking out of Iraq. "We’re thinking about our men and women in uniform. Especially those stationed in Iraq and we’re praying for their safety." — PolitiTweet.org

(Castro was here earlier to gaggle with reporters, so it appears he went off site and got in Warren’s car to re-arrive at this event) — PolitiTweet.org

Warren has arrived in Brooklyn for her event and is first addressing overflow crowd outside, in the rain https://t.co/CuSxhF7IG4 — PolitiTweet.org

More Castro on M4A: “Sen. Warren actually has a concrete, doable plan of how Medicare for All can come about. And I applaud her for that. And I believe that the American people, when they understand that plan, as she articulates it, that they can get behind that.” — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

On how he’ll advocate on Warren’s behalf for Medicare for All, given that his own health care plan was different from hers, Castro says all of the Dem candidates are largely in agreement and believe “it would be great to get to Medicare for All.” — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

In full surrogate mode, Castro says he saw first hand Warren’s expansive organization in Iowa. “I would all the time run into people out there that we were trying to convince... And so many of them would say oh, you know, I like you but Elizabeth Warren is my first choice.” — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

A clear turning of the page on those concerns (for now): Castro says “we have a processes in place for 2020. And so of course, I'm going to do everything that I can to help Senator Warren and to make sure when she's the Democratic nominee, that she defeats Donald Trump” — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Castro says he’s spoken with Warren about his concern about Iowa/NH being first states to vote. “I've said very clearly that I believe after this primary is over that the DNC should have a conversation” about state orders and thresholds. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Julian Castro just did his first gaggle in Brooklyn with Elizabeth Warren campaign press corps. He says he knew when he was dropping out that he would endorse Warren https://t.co/BzgDfrxrBA — PolitiTweet.org
