I love Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma).
I’m a Massachusetts lefty. I’m a strong woman who hates to get pushed around and who always calls out a bully.
So I really love the Massachusetts Democratic Senator for her ongoing war of words with Donald Trump. Senator Warren was one of the first officials to point out that the Emperor wanna-be has absolutely no clothes.
RawStory is now reporting that the progressive Senator has vowed continue her push back against the attacks of the GOP candidate, who she called a “thin-skinned, racist bully.”
In an interview with Boston’s WBZ News, she stated her intention to stand up to Trump’s attacks. She said:
“He thinks somehow, if he calls me names, that I’m gonna shut up. And I think he’s got plenty of evidence now that that’s just not gonna happen, because that’s the way you gotta deal with bullies. You just stand up and punch back.”
Donald Trump has famously used the name “Pocahontas” in reference to the Massachusetts Senator. The term is a racist insult to Native Americans, and Warren has called him out for it.
The two have continued to exchange words, mostly through social media.
.@realDonaldTrump makes death threats because he's a pathetic coward who can’t handle the fact that he’s losing to a girl.

It’s particularly satisfying to see the petite, bespectacled professor using her sharp wit and extensive vocabulary on Trump. His own fumbling attempts to express himself have lead to multiple questions about his language skills, his mental health, and even his intelligence.
It’s not a fair fight, but that’s OK with me.
Senator Warren has a reputation for standing up to powerful opponents like the Wall Street banking industry, the tech giants, and big pharmaceuticals. She is certainly not going to cave to a guy whose idea of a sharp verbal exchange is to repeat the name of a movie princess.
I love Elizabeth Warren. I love her for her liberal ideas, her clarity of speech, and her willingness to call a racist a racist.
I can’t wait to watch the next fews weeks of action as the Senator engages in a war of wit with an unarmed man.
