Candidate says president may not be ‘free’ in 2020

-

Back in Iowa as a full-fledged presidenti­al candidate, Democrat Elizabeth Warren took aim at President Donald Trump on Sunday, saying he “may not even be a free person” by next year’s election.

The Massachuse­tts senator also urged fellow candidates to avoid letting Trump define the contours of the election with his personal and provocativ­e attacks.

“Every day there is a racist tweet, a hateful tweet — something really dark and ugly,” Warren said as she opened an event in Cedar Rapids. “What are we as candidates, as activists, as the press, going to do about it? We’re going to chase after those every day?”

Warren has been a frequent Trump target. Hours after she formally kicked off her campaign on Saturday, the president renewed his criticism of her past claims of Native American heritage. In a tweet, Trump called Warren “Pocahontas” and said he would see her “on the campaign TRAIL.”
