Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren may be staying quiet on the sidelines of the Democratic presidential nominating contest, but for some time now she has been loudly booing the opposition party’s sideshow and the carnival barker at centerstage, Donald Trump.
In a series of tweets after Trump won Indiana on Tuesday to become the “presumptive” nominee of the Republican Party, Warren ripped Trump’s campaign built on “racism, sexism, and xenophobia,” vowing to do everything in her power to keep the controversial candidate from winning in November:
.@realDonaldTrump is now the leader of the @GOP. It's real – he is one step away from the White House.

Here’s what else is real: @realDonaldTrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia.

“There’s more enthusiasm for @realDonaldTrump among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls,” Warren wrote on Twitter:

Warren went on to write that Trump “incites supporters to violence, praises Putin, and is ‘Cool with being called an authoritarian:'”

.@realDonaldTrump attacks vets like @SenJohnMcCain who were captured & puts our servicemembers at risk by cheerleading illegal torture.

And @realDonaldTrump puts out out contradictory & nonsensical national security ideas one expert called "incoherent" & "truly bizarre."

What happens next will test the character for all of us – Republican, Democrat, and Independent.

It will determine whether we move forward as one nation or splinter at the hands of one man's narcissism and divisiveness.

I'm going to fight my heart out to make sure @realDonaldTrump’s toxic stew of hatred & insecurity never reaches the White House.
