Trump Brushes Off Elizabeth Warren Attacks: ‘Pocahontas is At It Again’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was unfazed by recent attacks from Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, saying on Twitter that he hopes Hillary Clinton selects her as her running mate.

Trump’s Friday tweet comes the day after Warren tore into Trump during a speech, attacking him in particular for his rhetoric against the Mexican-American judge presiding over the Trump University case Gonzalo Curiel. “If you break the law, you can be held accountable,” Warren said, while endorsing Clinton for president.

But Trump took the attack in stride.

Pocahontas is at it again! Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth. Hope she is V.P. choice.

The “Pocahontas” jibe is an old standby of Trump’s, a mocking reference to the controversy over Warren’s purported Native American ancestry.

UPDATE (10:00 AM ET): Warren shot back with her own retort on Twitter.

No, seriously — Delete your account. https://t.co/O1u7oc0jAR
