Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) responded Sunday to President Trump’s taunting attacks on her last week, calling him a “bully” who is targeting “every woman who speaks up.”
[post_ads]“He tries to bully me to shut me up, and he’s also trying to bully women all across this country. He talks about MeToo. It isn’t just me he is going after,” Warren said after an event at Lookout Farm in this Boston suburb that her campaign said was attended by more than 1,400 people. “It’s every woman who speaks up. He thinks we should sit down and shut up. It’s just not going to happen.”
The response fit a pattern of tit-for-tat attacks between Warren and Trump that began in March of 2016, when Warren published a series of tweets and a Facebook post calling him a “loser.” In more recent tiffs, she has tried to use the exchanges to pivot to policy issues and scandals in the Trump administration.
“The best way to deal with a bully is to be strong, resolute, keep doing what you are doing,” she said Sunday. “But don’t take any guff.”
