Elizabeth Warren mocks Donald Trump’s tweeting style, as she celebrates Hillary Clinton’s nomination
Following a roll call delegate vote Tuesday afternoon, Hillary Clinton officially secured the Democratic presidential nomination.
In celebration, Elizabeth Warren took to Twitter to pledge her support. And also, as has become one of her main responsibilities as a Clinton surrogate, take a jab at Donald Trump.
.@realDonaldTrump, often referred to as a thin-skinned moneygrubber, won’t be POTUS. I’ll work my heart out for our new nominee! #imwithher

The phrasing of Warren’s attack on Trump, “often referred to as a thin-skinned moneygrubber,” was a not-so-subtle parody of the way the Republican nominee has knocked Warren with his “Pocahontas” nickname—most recently following Warren’s convention speech.
Elizabeth Warren, often referred to as Pocahontas, just misrepresented me and spoke glowingly about Crooked Hillary, who she always hated!

Trump had repeatedly used the parenthetical clause to taunt Warren for her fraught-over Native American ancestry. But Tuesday wouldn’t be the first time that Warren, Democrats’ Twitter brawler-in-chief, had given Trump a taste of his own medicine.
