Trump Dared To Call Elizabeth Warren A Fraud. Her Response Was DEVASTATING
Donald Trump must have figured out the password that campaign manager and Putinist turncoat Paul Manafort placed on his phone, because after a few days of relatively civil Twitter pronouncements Trump launched into an unprovoked storm of racist insults against Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MASS), possibly in response to pundit soothsayers idly discussing the idea of a Clinton-Warren ticket.
Goofy Elizabeth Warren, who may be the least productive Senator in the U.S. Senate, must prove she is not a fraud. Without the con it’s over

I hope that Crooked Hillary picks Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, as her V.P. Then we can litigate her fraud!

If Goofy Elizabeth Warren, a very weak Senator, didn’t lie about her heritage (being Native American) she would be nothing today. Pick her H

Bristling at being called a fraud and having her heritage disparaged by an open racist and a proven fraud for the umpteenth time, Senator Warren pulled out all the stops and unleashed a cluster of truth-bombs at the Republican nominee:
Nasty name-calling & lies about my family aren’t going to shut me up, @realDonaldTrump. Is that really all you’ve got?

Pres Reagan’s Solicitor General was the Harvard prof who hired me, @realDonaldTrump. He says your right-wing conspiracy theories are a lie.

It might blow your mind that a woman worked hard & earned a good job on her own, @realDonaldTrump, but it’s not the 1800s. It happens.

You’re nothing but a thin-skinned bully and a lousy, cheating businessman, @realDonaldTrump. The sham is over.

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Trump has yet to respond to Warren’s rebuttal; he has only tweeted out that he will be going on 60 minutes to discuss “LAW AND ORDER.”
As of press time, there is no indication whether he means SVU, True Crime, or any of the other spinoff shows.
