He made the comment during a Monday afternoon conference call hosted by the Republican National Committee, responding to Warren’s appearance with Democrat Hillary Clinton earlier in the day.

Clinton has made rebuilding state Democratic parties, which have languished under President Barack Obama, a key theme of her presidential run.
Hillary Clinton already had Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement.
Donald Trump – already under fire for referring to Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” – turned up the heat further on Monday as he labeled the MA senator and Hillary Clinton ally a “racist” and a “fraud”. Clinton is vetting Warren as a potential vice presidential nominee. While the former professor dressed in black pants and a royal blue blazer, Clinton opted for a periwinkle pantsuit. Maybe not, but Mila Grigg, CEO of MODA Image and Brand Consulting, tells Yahoo Style that the look-alike fashion statement was most likely done on goal. “And that’s what America needs, and that’s why I’m with her”, Warren said. As Grigg puts it, and surely as Clinton has learned: “You have to be in charge of your own brand or else the world will be in charge of it for you”.
The two women spoke Monday in Cincinnati in front of a blue sign that read “Stronger Together”.
“You want to see goofy?”
Although, as Grigg sees it, the bigger issue is the apparent lack of thought about the effect of the sartorial display. As Warren embarked on her Trump-bashing stand-up bit, Hillary Clinton herself could barely hide her glee.
An unprecedented two-woman ticket would electrify the party’s liberal wing, boosting enthusiasm for Clinton’s campaign as she continues to face high unfavorable ratings. “It’s more how hard will I work and spend time and money behind her versus what I would have been willing to do for Bernie”.
Despite how trivial fashion might seem during a presidential election, it’s clearly something the public is paying attention to.
“She is considered so terrific, so formidable, because she tells it like it is”, she said. “Look at him in that hat”, Warren said, referring to Trump’s propensity to deliver campaign speeches wearing a cap with his logo, “Make America Great Again” – and his nickname for the progressive senator on Twitter as “Goofy Elizabeth Warren”.
“You can’t believe anything Donald Trump says”. The school itself even took to publicizing her as their only Native American staff member, according to a 1996 Harvard Crimson article.
“She exposes him for what he is – temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be president of the United States”, Clinton said.
Donald Trump regularly mocks Warren as “Pocahontas”.
Former Sen. Scott Brown on Monday stepped into the attack dog role for Donald Trump, saying his former Senate opponent Elizabeth Warren should “take a DNA test” if she wants to prove her Native American heritage. So it’s no wonder, is it, that risk analysts listed Donald Trump, a Donald Trump presidency, as one of the top threats facing the global economy.

Clinton has campaigned alongside several possible running mates, including Housing Secretary Julian Castro and Sen. “I think she’s a racist, actually, because what she did was very racist”, Trump told NBC in an interview. That energy was transferred to the Sanders campaign, but Clinton hopes with Warren on her side, Sanders holdouts will begin to trickle over to her. Clinton warmly recalled a recent phone conversation with Warren in which Warren told her she was on her way to buy her granddaughter “some sparkly shoes”.
