Elizabeth Warren Is Back At It Again On Twitter and This Time, She’s Aiming at Ted Cruz

Yesterday, Ted Cruz sent out an email that described him as a victim of his position as a senator and presidential candidate. He — or his email drafter — wrote that he doesn’t get to see his family or sleep much, as he’s “fighting morning and night for the future of our country.” His fellow senator Elizabeth Warren was deeply put off by that. It is known that his colleagues in the Senate and House don’t like him much, but Warren wanted to make that just a little clearer today.

First, she showed everyone the email:

Yesterday @TedCruz sent a campaign email whining about the “significant sacrifice” he’s made to run for President. pic.twitter.com/yKtLpWG0Ou

Then, she went off on Cruz like she went off on Donald Trump last month:

.@TedCruz whined about facing constant attacks, nonexistent family time, limited health and sleep, and no personal time.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

Are you kidding me, @TedCruz? We’re supposed to pity you because trying to be the leader of the free world is hard?! 2 words: Boo hoo.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

She gave him a few examples of how his behavior made other people sick and tired:

Know whose health is limited? Workers w/ no paid leave who can’t stay home when sick or caring for kids. @TedCruz won’t support it.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

Know whose sleep is limited? Working parents who stay up worrying about getting kids thru college w/o big debt. @TedCruz blocked #refi.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

Know who gets no personal time? People who work 2 min wage jobs to support their families. @TedCruz opposes giving them a raise.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

Know who gets no family time, @TedCruz? Moms w/ unfair schedules who drop kids at daycare & find their hrs cancelled. @GOP won’t help.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

Know who’s facing “constant attacks,” @TedCruz? Hardworking American immigrants, Muslims, LGBT folks, women. Your constant attacks.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

And @TedCruz? Working people work more, get paid less, can’t save, get mistreated, struggle with illness & family – but they don’t whine.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

They don’t throw tantrums or try to shut down their workplace because they don’t get their way – & then turn around & demand promotions.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

You chose to run for President, @TedCruz. You chose to make your “sacrifices.” Working people don’t have a choice.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

After taking him to task for shutting down the government that one time, she closed with a kicker:

Hey @TedCruz: Maybe you should spend less time complaining about your “significant sacrifices” – & more time doing something about theirs.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016

What a way to end the day.
