GOP presumptive nominee went on the attack Friday night calling Senator Elizabeth Warren “goofy” (her new nickname!) and calling for investigation of her alleged Native American heritage:
I hope corrupt Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. I will defeat them both.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 6, 2016
Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if she is Native American. I say she’s a fraud!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 6, 2016
Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a career that is totally based on a lie. She is not Native American.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 6, 2016
Sen. Warren, however, fought back with some insults of her own calling The Donald “lame,” “weak” a “bully” and saying he lied his way “through the primaries without being held accountable.”
I called out @realDonaldTrump on Tuesday. 45 million saw it. He's so confident about his "counter punch" he waited until Friday night. Lame.

“Goofy,” @realDonaldTrump? For a guy with "the best words" that’s a pretty lame nickname. Weak!

We saw what happened when birthers like @realDonaldTrump attacked @BarackObama. They lost big. American voters knew better.

We saw when Scott Brown attacked my family & his staff made tomahawk chops & war whoops. They lost big. MA voters knew better.

.@realdonaldtrump is a bully who has a single play in his playbook — offensive lies thrown at anyone who calls him out.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump spews insults and lies because he can’t have an honest conversation about his dangerous vision for America.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
But here's the thing. You can beat a bully — not by tucking tail and running, but by holding your ground.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
If you think recycling Scott Brown's hate-filled attacks on my family is going to shut me up, @realDonaldTrump, think again buddy. Weak.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
The @GOP's hate-filled lies didn’t scare me before, @realDonaldTrump. And they don't scare me now.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump lied his way through the primaries without being held accountable. That’s over.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
Whatever @realDonaldTrump says, we won't shut up. We won't back down. This election is too important, & he won’t step foot in White House.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 7, 2016
She sounds like the socialist Terminator!
UPDATE. Trump responds:
Goofy Elizabeth Warren and her phony Native American heritage are on a Twitter rant. She is too easy! I'm driving her nuts.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 7, 2016
Goofy Elizabeth Warren is weak and ineffective. Does nothing. All talk, no action — maybe her Native American name?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 7, 2016
