Elizabeth Warren Unloads On Mike Pence In Devastating Tweetstorm

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had some strong words for Republican Vice Presidential candidate and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has proven to be one of the most adept attack dogs against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Now the progressive senator is training her considerable fire on Trump’s newly revealed vice-presidential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R).

Warren took to Twitter on Saturday to savage Pence’s opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage. She argued that Pence’s positions make him a perfect fit for Trump, a “guy who calls women fat pigs & bimbos” and who has expressed distaste for same-sex marriage. Warren also made sure to emphasize that both men ― far from being fringe candidates ― represent the Republican mainstream. She noted that the GOP party platform includes the socially conservative positions one or both of them endorse.

.@realDonaldTrump & @mike_pence are a perfect match: Two small, insecure, weak men who use hate & fear to divide our country & our people.

Of COURSE @realDonaldTrump – a guy who calls women fat pigs & bimbos – picked a VP who is famous for trying to control women’s bodies.

What's worse? @realDonaldTrump & @mike_pence’s sexism isn’t some radical fringe of the @GOP. They're in line with the party platform.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) July 16, 2016

The @GOP platform is the most anti-choice ever: defund @PPFA & denounce all abortion. Even cases of rape, incest & woman's potential death.

And OF COURSE @realDonaldTrump – a guy who “[doesn’t] feel good” about marriage equality – picked a VP famous for LGBT discrimination.

The @GOP platform says overturn marriage equality & it supports parents putting their LGBT children through conversion therapy. Disgusting.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) July 16, 2016

The @GOP platform even says that children not from “natural marriage” are more likely to be drug addicts. Hateful AND disgusting.

Terrifying to think of @mike_pence being a heartbeat from presidency – but the direction @GOP wants to take our country is MORE terrifying.

Warren’s anti-Trump broadsides have reportedly impressed aides to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, whose campaign is considering Warren as a vice presidential candidate. If Clinton ends up picking Warren, then the inevitable showdown with Pence, her would-be counterpart on the Republican ticket, will already have begun.
