Sen. Warren Continues Verbal Attack On Trump

Aug. 04--WORCESTER -- Bay State U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren kept up her attack on Donald Trump, saying the GOP presidential nominee is "running on hatred and bigotry."

At a speech last night at Clark University in Worcester, Warren said Trump "proves every single day not just that he is unqualified to be president of the Unites States, but he is disqualified to be president of the United States."

The Cambridge Democrat said the billionaire's claim that a federal judge of Mexican descent cannot sit in judgment of him "is not just ugly and hateful, it's fundamentally un-American, and it is one of the principal reasons that he must not become president."

Hillary Clinton, by contrast, deserves the vote of Bernie Sanders supporters and other progressives because she has a "strong, progressive agenda," Warren added.

Clinton has made it clear that she will veto any bill that tries to roll back Wall Street protections that were put in place after the crash and that she will veto efforts to take away health insurance from 20 million people, Warren said.

"Trump has said, boy, he's all in favor of rolling back those protections," she said. "So I just think the differences are huge and this election matters and everyone is going to have to come to the table and put their vote down."

After a speech in Somerville on Tuesday, Warren pleaded with both far-left voters and Republicans to set aside their differences with Clinton to avoid putting an "unfit" president in the White House.

In both speeches, Warren drew cheers from packed audiences as she talked about raising the minimum wage, regulating big banks and expanding Social Security.

When asked Tuesday about Trump's latest headline-making gaffes -- including having a baby ejected from a campaign event -- Warren said: "It's just one horror story after another, and it sounds boring, but you keep coming to the same conclusion: The man is unfit to be president of the United States, period."

She called on Republicans Tuesday to denounce Trump and back Clinton, making her pitch just hours after U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna became the first sitting Republican member of Congress to support Clinton.
