OUCH! Trey Gowdy fires back after Elizabeth Warren's 'lobbyist' claim (and spills her beer everywhere)

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy has left Congress and will rejoin the private sector, and Elizabeth Warren thought she spotted an opening:

.@TGowdySC foamed at the mouth with power in Congress, then retired because he claimed he didn't enjoy it. Now it’s clear: Trey Gowdy just wanted a fat lobbyist paycheck. That should be illegal. https://t.co/mxnxaufvgU

Gowdy dropped a mic so hard Warren might have spilled her beer:

.@ewarren I’m not lobbying. Not now. Or ever. Perhaps you were cracking open a beer when that was announced. Don’t mind your criticisms. Just be more sensitive to facts.

She tried.

Uh, Gowdy is a lawyer. He's returning to the law firm where he worked prior to being in government. There's no indication he'll be a lobbyist. So the story is really just Former Congressman Returns To Day Job https://t.co/vcmtOQGkU9

Warren didn’t even read 1/1024th of the story before mouthing off and getting the facts wrong. https://t.co/MCt4SvhRP3
