In debate day tweetstorm, Elizabeth Warren tells Donald Trump: ‘Put on your big-boy pants’
After calling him chicken earlier in the week, Elizabeth Warren is now comparing Donald Trump to a child.
Amid a bipartisan chorus denouncing Trump’s claims of a “rigged” election, Warren said Wednesday the Republican nominee should take “accountability” for his campaign’s poor standing in the polls.
“Give me a break,” she tweeted, tagging Trump. “You’re not losing because it’s rigged. You’re losing because we see through your creepy bullying.”
The Massachusetts senator, whose anti-Trump tweetstorms have become her personal trademark this campaign, continued on, saying that, “Anyone with children knows that whining about imaginary cheating is the last refuge of the sore loser.”
Instead, Warren said Trump’s alienation of women and minority groups was the reason why recent polls show Hillary Clinton leading nationally and in most swing states.
It’s not rigged, @realDonaldTrump. You’re losing fair & square. Put on your big-boy pants because this is what accountability looks like.

But as she wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Tuesday, Warren said talk of a rigged election didn’t start with Trump.
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.

On Monday, Politifact gave Trump’s “baseless claim” that the election was rigged against him a “Pants on fire” rating, their grade for a statement that “is not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim.” Even Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, has said she doesn’t believe there would be widespread voter fraud in the election.
