Elizabeth Warren unloaded on Donald Trump after his win in Tuesday’s Indiana primary cemented his position as the likely Republican presidential nominee.
“It’s real,” Warren tweeted following Trump’s victory in the Hoosier State. “He is one step away from the White House.”
The Massachusetts senator and liberal firebrand went on a lengthy Twitter tirade, calling Trump’s candidacy one built on “racism, sexism, and xenophobia” and supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Ku Klux Klan.

Well let's start with racism. What has Donald Trump ever done or said that is racist?
When Trump was serving as the president of his family’s real estate company, the Trump Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available. Trump called those accusations “absolutely ridiculous” and sued the Justice Department for $100 million in damages for defamation. Without admitting wrongdoing, the Trump Management Corporation settled the original lawsuit two years later and promised not to discriminate against black people, Puerto Ricans or other minorities. Trump also agreed to send weekly vacancy lists for his 15,000 apartments to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and to allow the NYUL to present qualified applicants for vacancies in certain Trump properties. Just three years after that, the Justice Department sued the Trump Management Corporation again for allegedly discriminating against black applicants by telling them apartments weren’t available.
He said Mexicans were rapists...and assumed some were nice people. I can see why some would say that is racist.
Let me get this straight. Trump said SOME Mexicans are rapists (which is true,) therefore trump thinks that the Hispanic "race" is inferior to other races? Don't be ridiculous.
They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Premise one is blantantly wrong.
Got anything else?

I can see why there would be idiots that would interpret this as racist, but what can you do? People are stupid and like to overreact with hyperbole.
