Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Tuesday that Donald Trump "makes death threats because he's a pathetic coward." | Getty Warren: Trump 'can’t handle ... losing to a girl’

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday tore into Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Twitter for remarks that were widely interpreted to be about the possibility of using violence to stop Hillary Clinton.

During a rally Tuesday afternoon in Wilmington, North Carolina, the real estate mogul accused Clinton of wanting to “abolish” the Second Amendment, a usual refrain expressed throughout his campaign. “By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”


The Trump campaign claimed the comment was a reference to gun rights voters organizing to stop Clinton at the ballot box, but many saw it otherwise — including Warren, a Clinton ally and vocal Trump critic.

“[email protected] makes death threats because he's a pathetic coward who can’t handle the fact that he’s losing to a girl,” Warren said in her first tweet.

She added a minute later that Trump sounds “like a two-bit dictator.”

“Your reckless comments sound like a two-bit dictator, @realDonaldTrump. Not a man who wants to lead the greatest democracy on the planet,” she said.
