Warren: I'll 'Fight My Heart Out' to Ensure Trump 'Never Reaches the White House'
Arguing that real estate mogul would be a dangerous choice to lead the US, senator makes plea to voters and lawmakers across the political spectrum.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is preparing to wage war to make sure that Donald Trump, the now-presumptive Republican nominee, "never reaches the White House."
In a sharply-worded Facebook post and series of tweets issued Tuesday evening, shortly after Trump's sweeping victory in Indiana and GOP rival Ted Cruz's withdrawal were announced, Warren declared:
\u201c.@realDonaldTrump is now the leader of the @GOP. It's real - he is one step away from the White House.\u201d— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1462329992
\u201cHere\u2019s what else is real: @realDonaldTrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia.\u201d— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1462330018
From there, Warren launched into a tirade against the real estate mogul, dissecting the ways in which he would be a dangerous choice to lead the United States. Though a darling of the left, the senator's stinging take-down included critiques that could resonate with conservatives as well.
"There's more enthusiasm for him among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls," Warren wrote, noting that he "incites supporters to violence" and "doesn't mind associations with history's worst dictators."
Further, she said that Trump "attacks veterans like John McCain who were captured and puts our servicemembers at risk by cheerleading illegal torture."
Citing widely-feared international threats like "ISIS militants" and "North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Un conducting nuclear tests," Warren pointed out that the billionaire's foreign policy team "has been called a 'collection of charlatans,'" while his national security platform has been described by experts as "incoherent" and "truly bizarre."
With an appeal catered to the masses, Warren issued a plea to voters and lawmakers across the political spectrum.
"What happens next will test the character for all of us--Republican, Democrat, and Independent," she wrote. "It will determine whether we move forward as one nation or splinter at the hands of one man's narcissism and divisiveness."
"I know which side I'm on," Warren vowed, "and I'm going to fight my heart out to make sure Donald Trump's toxic stew of hatred and insecurity never reaches the White House."
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. The final deadline for our crucial Summer Campaign fundraising drive is just days away, and we’re falling short of our must-hit goal. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
