Warren slams Trump in first joint campaign appearance with Clinton

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ruthlessly attacked Donald Trump in her first joint appearance with Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail Monday in Ohio. "Great for who?" Warren asked of the presumptive GOP nominee's slogan, "Make America Great Again," before joking that she could attack Trump "all day."
Warren was as flattering to Clinton as she was damaging to Trump. "She's been on the receiving end of one right-wing attack after another for 25 years," Warren said of the presumptive Democratic nominee. "But she has never backed down. She doesn't whine. She doesn't run to Twitter to call her opponents fat pigs or dummies. No, she just remembers who really needs someone on their side. And she gets up and keeps right on fighting for the people who need her most."
Clinton was equally pleased with Warren, praising her for "how she gets under Donald Trump's thin skin."
