Elizabeth Warren is bullying people on Twitter again. Although her most frequent targets for abuse are Hillary Clinton financial backers such as Wall Street banks and “corporations,” Warren also likes to attack Republicans.
Earlier this week, Warren lashed out at Donald Trump and his new running make, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
.@realDonaldTrump & @mike_pence are a perfect match: Two small, insecure, weak men who use hate & fear to divide our country & our people.

When Trump does this, he’s called a bully. When Warren does it, she praised for her “devastating” jibes, for putting those Republicans “on blast.” It’s still bullying. Even men can be bullied. Even prominent women can be bullies.
According to experts, words such as “small,” “insecure” and “weak” are often to used in a bullying fashion to demean others. Typically, this says more about the bully than it does about the people the bully is harassing, whether online or otherwise. In many cases, bullies don’t like others because they don’t like themselves.
Terrifying to think of @mike_pence being a heartbeat from presidency – but the direction @GOP wants to take our country is MORE terrifying.

Sometimes bullies aren’t as scary as they imagine themselves to be. Maybe it’s not the most effective burn to point out that Trump has chosen a relatively normal person to be his vice presidential nominee, who might even become president immediately if Trump wins (even thought he probably won’t) because the real estate mogul has refused to rule out stepping down as president on day one.
Warren previously made fun of GOP contender Ted Cruz in April for showing emotion on the campaign trail. “Boo hoo,” she mocked.
Are you kidding me, @TedCruz? We’re supposed to pity you because trying to be the leader of the free world is hard?! 2 words: Boo hoo.

In March, the left-wing icon lashed out at Trump, calling him a “loser,” another popular buzzword among bullies.
But just because @realDonaldTrump is a loser everywhere else doesn’t mean he’ll lose this election.

As of this writing, Warren’s Twitter account has yet to be suspended for bullying.
