Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump don’t pull punches in Friday night Twitter fight
After Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Tuesday night with a big win in Indiana, Elizabeth Warren tore into his “toxic stew of hatred and insecurity” on Twitter and tweeted that he built his campaign on “racism, sexism, and xenophobia.”
It took three days (as Warren noted), but Trump responded Friday night with strong language of his own, even nicknaming the Massachusetts senator, “Goofy Elizabeth Warren.”
Warren came back at him, and Trump back at her. Here’s how it all played out … so far:
I hope corrupt Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. I will defeat them both.

Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if she is Native American. I say she’s a fraud!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 6, 2016
Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a career that is totally based on a lie. She is not Native American.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 6, 2016
I called out @realDonaldTrump on Tuesday. 45 million saw it. He’s so confident about his “counter punch” he waited until Friday night. Lame.

“Goofy,” @realDonaldTrump? For a guy with “the best words” that’s a pretty lame nickname. Weak!

We saw what happened when birthers like @realDonaldTrump attacked @BarackObama. They lost big. American voters knew better.

We saw when Scott Brown attacked my family & his staff made tomahawk chops & war whoops. They lost big. MA voters knew better.

.@realdonaldtrump is a bully who has a single play in his playbook — offensive lies thrown at anyone who calls him out.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump spews insults and lies because he can’t have an honest conversation about his dangerous vision for America.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
But here’s the thing. You can beat a bully — not by tucking tail and running, but by holding your ground.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
If you think recycling Scott Brown’s hate-filled attacks on my family is going to shut me up, @realDonaldTrump, think again buddy. Weak.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
The @GOP‘s hate-filled lies didn’t scare me before, @realDonaldTrump. And they don’t scare me now.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump lied his way through the primaries without being held accountable. That’s over.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
Whatever @realDonaldTrump says, we won’t shut up. We won’t back down. This election is too important, & he won’t step foot in White House.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
Goofy Elizabeth Warren and her phony Native American heritage are on a Twitter rant. She is too easy! I’m driving her nuts.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 7, 2016
Goofy Elizabeth Warren is weak and ineffective. Does nothing. All talk, no action — maybe her Native American name?
