Elizabeth Warren Goes On The Attack Against Trump/Pence

Boil it down, Senator Warren!

"Elizabeth Warren zeroed in on Donald Trump's newly minted ticket with Mike Pence ahead of the Republican vice presidential announcement on Saturday, referring to the pair as "a perfect match," and the GOP platform as "hateful and disgusting."

Warren, the Massachusetts senator who has played an attack-dog role previously as a potential vice presidential pick for Hillary Clinton, tweetstormed before Trump formally introduced the Indiana governor as his running mate in Manhattan. She went back and forth between criticizing the duo and the Republican Party's platform, which was hammered out in Cleveland this week.

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

Warren also hit Pence on his abortion stance: "OF COURSE @realDonaldTrump -- a guy who calls women fat pigs & bimbos -- picked a VP who is famous for trying to control women's bodies."

Warren continued by saying that Trump and Pence are "in line with the party platform," due to its "anti-choice" positions."

More Warren tweets...

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

The @GOP platform says overturn marriage equality & it supports parents putting their LGBT children through conversion therapy. Disgusting.

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