Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., may have faded after her failed campaign for president, but she hasn’t changed.
She’s still putting her foot in her mouth — and on Sunday, one Fox News star held that foot to the flame.
On Sunday, Warren complained about the decisions from the Supreme Court’s last two terms.
Warren argued that the Supreme Court was endangering its legitimacy by ignoring popular opinion. Justice Elena Kagan has made a similar argument in the past.
“The extremists on the Supreme Court are out of touch, out of control, and facing a growing legitimacy crisis of their own making,” Warren tweeted. “Ripping away the right to an abortion.”
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld slammed Warren for using the phrase “ripping away,” a phrase conjuring memories of controversial, late-term abortions.
“Most ‘lack of awareness’ tweet ever by Pocahontas,” one conservative columnist added.
As recently as 2018, Warren lied and claimed to be part American Indian to advance her career. Last year she tweeted about the need for “honoring” Native American communities… despite her history of lying about them.
“On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the contributions, the extraordinary resilience, and the rich cultures of tribal nations and Native communities,” Warren tweeted at the time. “Today and every day, the federal government must recommit itself to honoring its promises to Native peoples.”
Gutfeld had some words for her. “I haven’t seen a tweet that bad since Rachel Dolezal wished us a happy Black History Month,” Gutfeld said last year, referring to college instructor Rachel Dolezal and her record of lying about her race. “Tweeting nonsense from her tepee.”

Warren also blamed the Supreme Court for “clearing the way for anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination” and “standing in the way of student debt cancelation.”
On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that a Christian graphic artist who wants to design wedding websites can refuse to work with same-sex couples if he so desires.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, said that the court was protecting freedom of speech. “All persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands.” Gorsuch said. “The opportunity to think for ourselves and to express those thoughts freely is among our most cherished liberties and part of what keeps our Republic strong.”
The decision suggests that artists, photographers, videographers and writers are among those who can refuse to offer what the court called expressive services if doing so would run contrary to their beliefs.
The court stopped short of addressing businesses not engaged in speech and therefore not covered by the First Amendment, like restaurants and hotels.
Also on Friday, the court ruled that the Biden administration overstepped its authority with its plan to cancel student debt.
“Six States sued, arguing that the HEROES Act does not authorize the loan cancellation plan. We agree,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.
Kagan, in a dissent, accused the court of overstepping. She said that the court’s loan-forgiveness decision “overrides the combined judgment of the Legislative and Executive Branches.”
