For a speech Elizabeth Warren said was intended to focus on growing opportunities for Hispanic families in America, the progressive Massachusetts senator spent half of her speaking time lambasting Donald Trump.

"We have a spent a long time getting to know Donald Trump," Warren said in her opening remarks. "We know who he is — he is a weak, thin-skinned man, a man born with cash in his fists and hate in his heart."

Warren, a banking regulation hawk who celebrated the six-year anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act this week, told attendees at the National Council of La Raza's annual conference the Republican nominee had cheered on the 2008 recession. She claimed Trump rejoiced when millions of Americans had their homes foreclosed on and lost their pensions due to risky decisions banks made a decade ago.

"Donald Trump said he was excited for the real estate market to crash. That's right. He was drooling over the idea of a housing meltdown 'cause it meant he could buy up more property on the cheap," Warren said. "So I'm here to ask what kind of man does that — root for people to get thrown out on the street?

"I'll tell you exactly what kind of a man — a small insecure money grubber who doesn't care who gets hurt so long as he makes money off it. A man who will never be president of the United States," Warren continued. "Donald Trump is a loud-mouthed fraud who inherited a fortune from his father and kept it going by cheating people."

Warren was the most senior politician to speak at the event, which has historically included appearances from presidential candidates over the past four decades. Although this year's event — held in the Sunshine State this year as part of the pro-amnesty organization's focus on reaching a large group of Hispanics in the southeast region of the country — did not include speeches from Trump or Clinton, it's message on whom to support in November was clear as Warren outlined "what it is we're working for."

"We will never build Donald Trump's stupid wall. We will never rip apart millions of families. We will pass comprehensive immigration reform and we are ready to fight for it," Warren yelled to the crowd.

In her final moments on stage, Warren — whom Clinton had considered as a running mate before choosing Va. Sen. Tim Kaine on Friday — left the audience with simple instructions on how to proceed: by voting for Clinton.
