Elizabeth Warren [went on a tirade](http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/warren-attacks-trump-223541) Tuesday against Donald Trump, whom she called a “small, insecure money-grubber.” The Massachusetts senator went beyond [her usual attacks on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on Twitter](http://time.com/4266213/donald-trump-elizabeth-warren-twitter/) and dedicated a speech at a Washington, D.C. gala hosted by the Center for Popular Democracy to uniting her party against Trump, according to Politico. “He inherited a fortune from his father, and kept it going by scamming people, declaring bankruptcy and skipping out on what he owed,” Warren told the audience. Warren has [been increasingly vocal about Trump](http://time.com/4322065/elizabeth-warren-donald-trump-attacks-twitter/), regularly using social media to slam the billionaire, while he has fired back, often calling her “goofy,” as he did on Wednesday on Twitter. > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/735448311914602496) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4347558/elizabeth-warren-attacks-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4347558/elizabeth-warren-attacks-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Elizabeth Warren Ramps Up Attacks on 'Insecure Money-Grubber' Donald Trump","datePublished":"2016-05-25T15:06:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T17:49:49.677Z","description":"The Massachusetts senator went beyond her usual Twitter rants and dedicated a speech to stopping Trump","url":"https://time.com/4347558/elizabeth-warren-attacks-donald-trump/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","Donald Trump","elizabeth warren"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc48f25c32bc847c3/698894ca196cf4693703bbe7/elizabeth-warren-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc48f25c32bc847c3/698894ca196cf4693703bbe7/elizabeth-warren-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"UNITED STATES - APRIL 15: Sen.
