Elizabeth Warren Talks Taylor Swift And Donald Trump In Graduation Speech

US Politics

On Saturday, Senator Elizabeth Warren gave the commencement speech at Bridgewater State University. The Huffington Post has the news.

“Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) delivered the commencement address Saturday at Bridgewater State University, where she quoted Taylor Swift and once again took shots at presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump,” writes columnist Igor Bobic.

The article notes that the freshman senator jokingly not only quoted words from Swift’s hit single “Shake it Off,” but she also said her life was full of “mistakes and twists and turns and failures” and urged students to embrace the unexpected. Warren said she never expected to be a commencement speaker and never expected to get into a Twitter war with Donald Trump. Mrs. Warren recently explained her Twitter war with Trump to the Boston Globe.

“LOL! That was literally Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s response when she found out Donald Trump had branded her the nickname, goofy. ‘I laughed out loud,’ the Massachusetts Democrat told The Boston Globe‘s Annie Linskey, adding that she expected that Trump would ‘punch back’ following her Indiana primary night tweetstorm.”

The article adds that when Donald Trump did respond three days later, Warren said she was working puzzles with her grandchildren during a trip to Los Angeles.

Warren has been criticized in the past for lying about her Native American ancestry. In April of 2014, Breitbart accused her of lying about it in her new book.

“Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) repeats her false claims of Native American ancestry in her new book, A Fighting Chance, which is scheduled for release next Tuesday…In 2012 Breitbart News exhaustively documented the facts surrounding Senator Warren’s claims of Native American ancestry and demonstrated that no credible evidence exists to support those claims.”

Breitbart added that the lack of genealogical evidence has never stopped Senator Warren from boldly asserting as fact something which is flatly not true. To this day, Twitter still criticizes Warren for her alleged lies.

Elizabeth Warren’s Twitter war with Donald Trump started when she bashed him of his cruel treatment of women. The way Trump treats women has been haunting him on the campaign trail for months and it all started with a question Megyn Kelly asked about derogatory comments he made about women. Fox News Insider described the event.

“Megyn Kelly challenged Donald Trump on some of his past derogatory comments about women. She said Trump has called women he dislikes ‘fat pigs’ and ‘slobs’ in the past. ‘Only Rosie O’Donnell,’ Trump responded to laughter and applause. Kelly said that ‘for the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell,’ noting that once Trump told a contestant on ‘The Apprentice’ that it ‘would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees.'”

Do you think Elizabeth Warren has a point about Donald Trump, or do you think she is trying to make people forget about her Native American claims? Let us know in the comments section.
