Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MASS) has earned a reputation for her hard-hitting social media broadsides, especially those aimed at Republican nominee Donald Trump. One of the American people’s most stalwart defenders against the pernicious machinations of the Republican Party and their wealthy puppetmasters, she took to Twitter today to rake Trump over the coals for his appalling attempts to convince his supporters that the election is being “stolen” and that there is a shadowy conspiracy against him be organized “international banks.”
Give me a break, @realDonaldTrump. You’re not losing because it’s rigged. You’re losing because we see through your creepy bullying.

You can’t run a campaign based on hating women, African Americans, Muslims & immigrants & expect to win, @realDonaldTrump.

It’s not rigged, @realDonaldTrump. You’re losing fair & square. Put on your big-boy pants because this is what accountability looks like.

Accountability, of course, is something Donald Trump has never had to deal with himself, as he’s lived his whole life elevated by a silver stool and fed with a silver spoon. The way that he is reacting to the sexual assault allegations against him and the rampant accusations of financial misconduct is proof that he has never been forced to take responsibility for the things he says or does; there’s always been a father to bail him out or a tax loophole to take advantage of or lawyers to silence a woman.
Warren goes further, however, noting that it’s not just Trump who is responsible for this assault on the integrity of our democracy. It’s been part of a years-long campaign of legislative terrorism and fear-mongering misinformation campaigns designed to strip President Obama of all his legitimacy and erase faith in our public institutions. Jerrymandering, “voter fraud,” and obstructionism combined make the toxic stew that the Republican Party have been force-feeding the American people – and the extent of the damage is only just becoming clear.
But @realDonaldTrump didn’t come up with the “rigged” election himself. It’s a longtime effort by the @GOP to delegitimize @TheDemocrats.

It’s fascinating, @realDonaldTrump: “voter fraud” only seems to plague places where lots of people might vote for @TheDemocrats.

And @realDonaldTrump’s antics – like attacking judges & calling for his opponent’s imprisonment – echo the @HouseGOP’s witch hunts.
