The White House went on the offensive Monday, attacking Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) via its official government Twitter account for supporting “criminals” and the “animals of MS-13.”
.@SenWarren, why are you supporting criminals moving weapons, drugs, and victims across our nation’s borders? You must not know what ICE really does. Here is a link to help you out: https://t.co/5CiTKkIs4c

Harris fired back.
As a career prosecutor, I actually went after gangs and transnational criminal organizations. That’s being a leader on public safety. What is not, is ripping babies from their mothers. pic.twitter.com/WyyHU3U7jE

Warren did not reply on Twitter, though she participated in a “Families Belong Together” rally last weekend, saying: “The president’s deeply immoral actions have made it obvious we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom, starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality and that works,” per Politico.
no way tRump is smart enough to include links in his tweets. Miller? What other shitbird is writing these things? ETA I see it’s the WH and not tRump’s account. SMH this shit grows tiresome.
Trump seems to be tipping his hand here… obviously he is fearing running against one of these Senators
Two strong intelligent women who do not fear Trump.
Sad
Nobody in the WH likes uppity women. 'Specially not Spankee.
Huckster-Slanders and Con-a-minute are well practiced in grovelling. Melania flies around acting like she’s doing something and making vague, unchallenging comments or remaining stumm (mostly the latter). Princess Ivanka flutters her nails and her hair and her fake boobies, pretending to care but mostly worried about not finding matching shoes for her China-made dresses.
No room for women with minds and spines.
By the way if this feels abnormal it’s because it is. I can’t quantify it but there was a tendency not to use the institution of the White House as a vehicle for cheap, attack-ad style slurs on individuals this way. Walt Shaub, the very vocal former government ethics head, was appalled by this. Just one more way they’ve made something that once had some dignity and history into a vulgar, tacky expression of their hateful, small selves.
