His insecurities are on parade: “petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, flagrant narcissism”, the Massachusetts Democrat wrote on her campaign’s Twitter account on Monday, part of a rapid-fire burst of eight tweets attacking the billionaire television personality.

Warren tore into the real estate mogul in a series of Twitter and Facebook posts in which she warned voters not to underestimate the “bully”.
But Donald Trump decided this weekend that she will be the latest in a long line of his political foes to earn his wrath. “Perhaps it’s her Indian upbringing”, Trump told the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd in August.
Asked about Warren’s criticism, Trump said, “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.
That remark was a reference to accusations during her 2012 Senate race that Warren exaggerated or fabricated having Native American heritage in order to secure a position at Harvard University.
As first reported in the Boston Herald, Harvard Law School listed newly hired professor Warren in the 1990s as a Native American – at a time when the faculty was under fire for being too white.
Read Warren’s full message to Trump below. “The way I see it, it’s our job to make sure he ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it”.
“Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and @realDonaldTrump is a serious threat”, she posted, before concluding her rant with one more barb.
Trump has previously mocked Warren’s claims. Scott Brown, demanded proof.
Warren urged her followers to consider the issues at stake in the upcoming presidential election and focus on “The chance to be better people”.

The reporter continued with her line of questioning, asking how Trump would handle sustained attacks from figures like Warren and Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Now, she’s using her influence to push her concerns to the 2016 forefront.
