(CNN) Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said Friday that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly "can't shut me up" after an email in which Kelly called her "an impolite arrogant woman" was published Thursday.

Kelly sent the email in February 2017 after Warren called him to protest the Trump administration's disregard of the temporary restraining court order on the travel ban after her office could not get through to his office, Buzzfeed reported Thursday.
