Elizabeth Warren blasts Trump over 'Second Amendment people' comment: 'He's a pathetic coward'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) loves to poke the bear that is Donald Trump, and she wasted no time reacting to his comments about "Second Amendment people" stopping Hillary Clinton from picking Supreme Court judges.
Twitter is clearly Trump's favorite way to communicate, and since he has had difficulty in the past not talking about Warren, expect some sort of tweetstorm soon. Previously, Warren has called Trump a "thin-skinned racist bully," "a genuine threat to this country," and an "insecure money-grubber," whose only idea is "building that stupid wall."
