Elizabeth Warren is pissed, you guys. See, now that the Supreme Court has struck down limits on aggregate campaign donations, icky rich people will be free to infect the wholesome world of politics:
With today's McCutcheon #SCOTUS ruling, the game just became even more rigged for the rich and powerful.

Oh noes!
.@elizabethforma Even faux Indians are upset
— Erick Brockway (@erickbrockway) April 2, 2014
Heh. Poor Lizzie.
.@elizabethforma I know right? What we need is a set of laws to duct tape their big rich mouths shut. How DARE they speak?
— Todd Feltman (@LeninsBarber) April 2, 2014
Right? Rich people have no place in the political sphere. Oh, wait …
.@elizabethforma You're a rich person who lied about being Native American to advance your career. Sounds like something's rigged.

Oops. "@NathanWurtzel: Elizabeth Warren raised and spent $43M to become a Senator." https://t.co/TRl4XDVUnf

Wait? Who spent $43 million to become a US Senator? Yeah you did. @jteeDC @elizabethforma

.@elizabethforma you SPENT 43 million to get elected… Seriously people. #hypocrites
— Mrs. Jamie Right (@RightIsTheWay) April 2, 2014
@elizabethforma you spent 43million to become Senator, what does that make you, poor and weak?

Oh, my!
@RBPundit @Shanghaibeast @elizabethforma @NathanWurtzel that's a lot of wampum
— Bizarro Sirota (@bizzaro_sirota) April 2, 2014
It certainly is. Does anyone else smell hypocrisy?
Congrats to you! RT @elizabethforma: With today's McCutcheon #SCOTUS ruling, the game just became even more rigged for the rich & powerful.

@RBPundit Seems to me the Democrat party is chock full of the "rich & powerful". @elizabethforma
— Kimberly (@conkc2) April 2, 2014
@hale_razor @elizabethforma @HuffPostHealth Well look at that. The rich and powerful telling us the rich and powerful are bad.

Warren’s digital director Lauren Miller attempted to explain away all that money that helped her boss get elected:
@RBPundit @NathanWurtzel More than 50% of contributions were $25 or less. More than 80% of contributions were $50 or less. So you point is?
— Lauren Miller (@laurenm) April 2, 2014
She probably should’ve just left it alone.

Epic pwnage. Just beautiful.
That was embarrassing. Maybe do a little homework before you engage. "@laurenm: Sigh, rule number one of twitter: Don't feed the trolls."
— Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) April 2, 2014
Everything about Elizabeth Warren is embarrassing. And if she had any regard for the people she is supposed to be serving, she’d understand this:
.@elizabethforma Senators are rich and powerful. #SCOTUS is protecting the American people from you.

Damn straight.
