Warren received a prime-time speaking slot at the 2012 Democratic National Convention on September 5 , 2012 . She positioned herself as a champion of a beleaguered middle class that " has been chipped , squeezed , and hammered " . According to Warren , " People feel like the system is rigged against them . And here 's the painful part : They 're right . The system is rigged . " Warren said Wall Street CEOs " wrecked our economy and destroyed millions of jobs " and that they " still strut around congress , no shame , demanding favors , and acting like we should thank them "
