Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tore into GOP front-runner Donald Trump on Monday, calling the businessman a “loser” and a threat to America.

Many of history’s worst authoritarians started out as losers – and @realDonaldTrump is a serious threat.

“Just because [Trump] is a loser everywhere else doesn’t mean he’ll lose this election,” Warren added on Twitter.

She said Trump “knows he’s a loser. His insecurities are on parade: petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, flagrant narcissism.”

The way I see it, it’s our job to make sure @realDonaldTrump ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it.

Her comments come as Democrats are stepping up their criticism of Trump and pushing GOP leadership and vulnerable lawmakers to denounce him. Republicans have been wary of completely cutting ties with the businessman and his supporters, whom they will likely need in November.

Some Republican lawmakers are scheduled to meet with Trump on Monday.

The Twitter remarks are the latest in a recent string from Warren, who has been increasingly willing to take rhetorical shots at Trump as he’s continued to dominate the GOP presidential field.

Earlier this month, she said all voters should “say no more Donald” and suggested he was spreading “a form of hate.”

Trump is currently leading Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in national polls by 9 percentage points, according to RealClearPolitics. He’s also leading the rest of the presidential field in delegates, with 678, compared to 423 for Cruz, who is in second place.
