Elizabeth Warren Mocks Trump for Calling Her ‘Goofy’: I Thought You Were ‘Good With Words’
Since Hillary Clinton has avoided getting too sharp in her attacks against Donald Trump, Elizabeth Warren has picked up the mantle and has been one of the top politicians publicly ridiculing The Donald.
Warren and Trump have gotten into some Twitter back-and-forths, and Warren told Mic in an interview today that a Trump presidency would just be another one where only “a thin slice at the top” benefits.
She made a broader pitch about a government that works more for the people than for lobbyists before being asked about Trump calling her “goofy.”
She said her reaction was, “Really? That’s the best you can come up with? Come on? I thought Donald Trump was a guy who said he was good with words!”
Trump apparently heard and fired back, leading to another tweetstorm from Warren:
Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been one of the least effective Senators in the entire U.S. Senate. She has done nothing!

Goofy Elizabeth Warren didn’t have the guts to run for POTUS. Her phony Native American heritage stops that and VP cold.

We get it, @realDonaldTrump: When a woman stands up to you, you’re going to call her a basket case. Hormonal. Ugly.

Do you think you’re going to shut us up, @realDonaldTrump? Think again. It’s time to answer for your dangerous ideas.

You care so much about struggling American workers, @realDonaldTrump, that you want to abolish the federal minimum wage?
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 11, 2016
You feel so much for people with college debt, @realDonaldTrump, that you raked in millions scamming students with Trump University?
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 11, 2016
You’re so concerned about Wall Street, @realDonaldTrump, that you say you’d “absolutely” repeal Dodd-Frank?
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 11, 2016
When asked what gov should stop doing, @realDonaldTrump said overseeing banks! How can you be tough on Wall Street by letting them off?
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) May 11, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump: Your policies are dangerous. Your words are reckless. Your record is embarrassing. And your free ride is over.

Watch above, via Mic.
UPDATE — 4:31 p.m. EST:
Predictably, Trump has responded to Warren’s response to him. Here is what he has said about her within the last hour or so:
If the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren has been, she would lose!

Goofy Elizabeth Warren is now using the woman’s card like her friend crooked Hillary. See her dumb tweet “when a woman stands up to you…”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2016
Our Native American Senator, goofy Elizabeth Warren, couldn’t care less about the American worker…does nothing to help!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2016
Goofy Elizabeth Warren lied when she says I want to abolish the Federal Minimum Wage. See media—asking for increase!
