Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) took to Twitter to hammer Trump for attempting to slut shame her Senate colleague Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).
After Trump tweeted:
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging†for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

Warren responded:
Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless, #shepersisted. https://t.co/mYJtBZfxiu

It is not a coincidence that Trump is behaving this way the day after some of the women who are accusing him of sexual assault came forward and held a press conference to demand an investigation into the President.
The Trump sexual assault scandal never really went away. It is the driver of the culture change and zero tolerance for sexual harassment. The great cultural awakening that is happening where women are speaking out and telling their stories is occurring because of Trump’s Access Hollywood tape.
Trump is getting nervous, and he can’t handle being confronted by a woman.
This is the first time in US history that a conversation between a sitting US Senator and the President Of The United States has used the term slut-shaming, but Warren was right. Trump is only digging himself in deeper, and a fight with Gillibrand is not going to end well for this president.
