Elizabeth Warren was at it again on Thursday in a blistering speech in Washington D.C. where she called Trump “a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud” and obliterated the presumptive GOP nominee’s racist attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel.

The Massachusetts senator also went out of her way to commend Judge Curiel, calling the Indiana-born judge one of “countless American patriots who has spent decades quietly serving his country, sometimes at great risk to his own life.â€Â
She said Trump’s attack on Curiel is indicative of how the Republican Party as a whole often treats federal judges they disagree with.
“Donald Trump chose racism as his weapon, but his aim is exactly the same as the rest of the Republicans – pound the courts into submission to the rich and powerful,†Warren said.
In her remarks, Warren also slammed Trump’s wealth, saying he has only been successful because he “inherited a fortune” and kept it “by cheating people.”Â
She added, to a standing ovation: “We will not allow a small, insecure, thin-skinned wannabe tyrant or his allies in the Senate destroy the rule of law in the United States of America.”
Once again, Warren showed just how effective she is at taking on Trump and getting under his spray-tanned skin.Â
We await Donald Trump’s whiny response via tweet.Â
