During a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday evening, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-A) went after Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), who is engaged in a tough re-election fight against Democratic challenger Deborah Ross.
Warren tied Burr to Trump, just a few days after the North Carolina senator assured supporters at a rally that there’s “not a separation between me and Donald Trump.”
Warren listed insults Trump has used on the campaign trail, including calling Mexicans “rapists” and attacking a Gold Star Family, emphasizing that Burr “fully supports” Trump.
“Trump calls women fat pigs and bimbos and brags about sexually assaulting women, and Richard Burr is like a puppy on a leash, sticking right there with Donald Trump,” she said. “If Richard Burr is just going to be Donald Trump’s lap dog, then let him go off and do that. But the people of North Carolina need a strong, independent voice to fight for the families of North Carolina. And that is Deborah Ross.”
Warren also referenced the third debate when Trump called Clinton a “nasty woman,” and turned the comment on its head.
“According to Donald Trump, a woman who fights back is a nasty woman,” she said. “Women have had it with guys like Donald Trump and Richard Burr. And nasty women have really had it with guys like Donald Trump and Richard Burr.”
“Nasty women are tough, nasty women are smart, and nasty women vote,” she added.
When Warren gets done with that idiot who wants to run against her in the next election, there won’t be enough left to mail home in a regulation envelope.
Burr: That is true. I like to think that there is no daylight between me and Trump. Leash length is close to zero.
I REALLY want NC to have a Blue election…President,Senate and Governor.
And people … some people on this very website, even … wanted to waste her on the Vice President slot.
Nope.jpg. Definitely prefer her off the leash and running wild.
Although … I sure wish there was a way to make her the Majority Leader. Damn, but she would run the Senate. The Republicans would be terrified of her.
We should really stage a write-in campaign to all our Democratic Senators, Representatives and the DNC and demand that Warren be made Majority Leader.
Elizabeth Warren: the President we need today (but can’t have). Warren for President in 2020!
Let me clear: I support Hillary Clinton. I want Hillary to humiliate Dishonest Don to the point that he doesn’t dare bring that awful comb-over and unnatural skin color in public ever again. But despite playing a left candidate for the campaign, Hillary is slightly right of center: the Trumpublican party is so far into the fever swamp that she appears to be left of center.
We need a President (and a Congress to go with her!) that is left of center, to drag the Overton window back to the middle. We need to be able to talk about things like Dodd-Frank and the ACA as if they were what they are: conservative solutions to real problems. I don’t think Hillary can do that.
ETA: Clarification re: campaign stance.
