Elizabeth Warren unloaded on Donald Trump after his win in Tuesday’s Indiana primary cemented his position as the likely Republican presidential nominee.
“It’s real,” Warren tweeted following Trump’s victory in the Hoosier State. “He is one step away from the White House.”
.@realDonaldTrump is now the leader of the @GOP. It’s real - he is one step away from the White House.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
The Massachusetts senator and liberal firebrand went on a lengthy Twitter tirade, calling Trump’s candidacy one built on “racism, sexism, and xenophobia” and supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Ku Klux Klan.
Here’s what else is real: @realDonaldTrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
There’s more enthusiasm for @realDonaldTrump among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
.@realDonaldTrump incites supporters to violence, praises Putin, and is “cool with being called an authoritarian.”
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
.@realDonaldTrump attacks vets like @SenJohnMcCain who were captured & puts our servicemembers at risk by cheerleading illegal torture.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
And @realDonaldTrump puts out out contradictory & nonsensical national security ideas one expert called “incoherent” & “truly bizarre.”
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
Warren then issued a dire bipartisan warning.
What happens next will test the character for all of us – Republican, Democrat, and Independent.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
It will determine whether we move forward as one nation or splinter at the hands of one man’s narcissism and divisiveness.

Warren, who resisted calls from progressives to mount her own presidential run, has been tabbed by some as a potential running mate for Hillary Clinton.
And while Warren has yet to endorse either of the Democratic Party’s presidential candidates, it seems she’s ready to take on Trump, one way or another.
I’m going to fight my heart out to make sure @realDonaldTrump’s toxic stew of hatred & insecurity never reaches the White House.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma)
Warren’s last message was retweeted more than 11,000 times. Among those retweeting it: Hillary Clinton.
