Warren on the offensive

Warren on the offensive

by digby




This feud between Elizabeth Warren and Trump is getting really good. It started last week with the Facebook post above:
A week ago, Warren took to Facebook to try stirring up Trump opponents to speak out.

"Donald Trump is a bigger, uglier threat every day that goes by — and it's time for decent people everywhere — Republican, Democrat, Independent - to say No More Donald," she wrote.

Trump poked back in an interview with New York Times writer Maureen Dowd in a column that appeared in Sunday's newspaper.

Trump said of Warren's criticism, "I think it's wonderful because the Indians can now partake in the future of the country. She's got about as much Indian blood as I have."

"Her whole life was based on a fraud," he added. "She got into Harvard and all that because she said she was a minority."
This was the Facebook post:



She started up on twitter today:




A reporter asked trump about this latest salvo at this bizarre infomercial/press conference earlier today and he said "the Indian? you mean the Indian"?  

He then went on to wring his tiny hands about civility and said that Elizabeth Warren had better get her act together and stop dividing the country. (He did add that he would probably have to do that too so that's good.)

You cannot make this stuff up.
