Elizabeth Warren had some harsh words for Donald Trump tonight concerning, among other things, Trump’s statements about Judge Curiel:

Warren on Trump's Curiel attacks: "You shame yourself and you shame this great country"

And, there's the "thin-skinned, racist bully" line from Warren.

"That's the kind of man Judge Curiel is," Warren says, after noting his work as a prosecutor. "What kind of a man is Donald Trump?"

E Warren notes Curiel "has survived actual assassination attempts. He’ll have no problem surviving Trump’s nasty temper tantrums."

Trump’s remarks were indeed reprehensible. But as Guy Benson points out, Warren’s not exactly standing on moral high ground when it comes to race-related stunts:

Slamming Trump, Liz Warren offers a staunch defense of Curiel's heritage.

Too bad she invented her own to advance her career.
