What exactly is Elizabeth Warren trying to say about Kirsten Gillibrand?
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 12/12/17 | Emily Jashinsky

Sen. Warren, D-Mass., quickly jumped into the fight, replying to the president with a tweet of her own. "Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame [Sen. Gillibrand]? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, [Donald Trump]," the senator wrote, adding, "Nevertheless, #shepersisted."

Warren's ability to inject both "slut-shaming" and her personal branding into a statement of support for a beleaguered presidential rival is almost impressive for its transparent opportunism.

Believe it or not, the Oxford English Dictionary actually has a definition for "slut-shaming," which it says is to "[s]tigmatize (a woman) for engaging in behavior judged to be promiscuous or sexually provocative." That's a fairly accurate encapsulation of how the term is used colloquially. But Warren's deployment of the term is puzzling. For Trump to "slut-shame" Gillibrand, the New York Democrat would have had to have actually engaged in some sort of behavior "judged to be promiscuous or sexually provocative." Either Warren didn't pause to consider the implication of her tweet, or she just leveled quite the underhanded compliment.

Warren, like Boxer from California, is an example of how even the stupidest person can be a U S senator if the Democrat Part decides to make her one.

Obvious. She wants Gillibrant to get down and dirty with Trump, and lose the fight, so Pocohantas will be the last squaw standing.

Warren said that Gillibrand is a slut.

Maybe sexual harassment allegations against Gillibrand are on the way!

FakeaHaunches is so stupid she competes with MadMaxine Waters and Gwen Moore

It appears that if a person is too stupid to clean toilets or any other honest work for a living, the DNC/SorozNazi will stuff them into our government

“Warren, like Boxer from California, is an example of how even the stupidest person can be a U S senator if the Democrat Part decides to make her one.”

They are both cautinary tales of why women like them wind up in a hakf a dozen garbage bags in a landfill.

When President-elect Trump returned to Trump Force One after the event, he asked A.J., who was still in her seat in the plane, what she thought of his speech. When A.J. told him she hadn’t heard it because she hadn’t left the plane, the boss didn’t know how to respond. So he didn’t say anything, and instead sat down in his seat and picked up the New York Times. Meanwhile, A.J. turned her ire on Hope, who had just about had it with A.J—Hope had simply done her job with the journalist. So Hope starts to yell back at A.J. All of this is going on as Mr. Trump is trying to read the paper. Finally, in one of the funniest moments on Trump Force One, the boss lowers the paper and yells: “Cat Fight!” And just as quickly, he went back to reading the newspaper.

Remember, that when Trump sends out a tweet and sets of these two yowling and screeching like alley cats, they want to be commander in chief.

As in most cases, this Democrat gaffe may accidentally reveal the truth: Warren thinks Gillibrand is a slut to be shamed.
