Billionaire hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman says Sen. Elizabeth Warren "represents the worst in politicians," and that "she doesn't know who the fuck she's tweeting" after the Massachusetts Democrat's latest salvo against the rich.
A new ad by Warren, titled "Elizabeth Warren Stands Up to Billionaires," targets Cooperman, along with former CEO of TD Ameritrade Joe Ricketts, former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel according to CNBC.
In it, Cooperman - who joked in September that "they won't open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president - has the words "CHARGED WITH INSIDER TRADING" superimposed over his face.
"As far as the accusations of insider trading, I won the case. Shes disgraceful. She doesnt know who the f--- shes tweeting. I gave away more in the year than she has in her whole f----ing lifetime," Cooperman told CNBC on Wednesday.
Days before breaking out in tears on CNBC over the American political divide, sent Warren a Halloween letter in which he said she's treating him like "a parent chiding an ungrateful child."
Warren hit back, tweeting "Leon is wrong. I'm fighting for big changes like universal child care, investing in public schools, and free public college.
Other business titans, including J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, have taken on Warren for her attacks on the wealthy.
Her war with business leaders has led to her crafting a strong group of supporters that have propelled her in the polls.
After being behind the Democratic front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden, by at least 30 points in May, she has surged to being only six points from catching up to his lead, according to a Real Clear Politics polling average. -CNBC
Now, for fun, the inverse of Warren's odds against the Dow:

More than mere condemnation, the statement almost sounded like a bitter breakup with an old friend. And its not hard to see why until recently, Warren held stridently pro-Israel views.
She supported the Israeli invasion of Gaza in 2014, blaming Hamas even as Israeli forces killed more than two thousand Palestinians, most of them civilians and children. In her defense of the military assault, Warren sounded more like a spokesperson for right-wing Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu than a progressive US senator: When Hamas puts its rocket launchers next to hospitals, next to schools, theyre using their civilian population to protect their military assets. And I believe Israel has a right, at that point, to defend itself. We have an interest in Israel defending itself and surviving.
Parroting pro-Israeli talking points, Warren continued: America has a very special relationship with Israel. Israel lives in a very dangerous part of the world, and a part of the world where there arent any liberal democracies and democracies that are controlled by the rule of law. We very much need an ally in that part of the world.
Translating rhetoric into policy, Warren cosponsored the United StatesIsrael Strategic Partnership Act of 2014, an AIPAC-backed bill that solidified the United States and Israels special relationship. The legislation, passed at the peak of the Gaza War, provided emergency funding for Israels Iron Dome air defense system while boosting US military aid by $225 million (on top of the already $3 billion in annual funding). The move put Warren at odds with progressive constituents, who pointed out that the funds sent to Israel were offset by deep cuts to a proposed program to aid thousands of child immigrants from Latin America. After the war, in November 2014, Warren made her first trip to Israel, where she addressed Israeli lawmakers at the Knesset, and where, in the words of thenUS ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, she was impressed by the spirited nature of Israeli democracy.
Warren has enjoyed cozy relations with AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) representatives in Boston for years. She has repeatedly appeared at local AIPAC events and counted the groups members among her supporters and donors. Candy Glazer, a Western Massachusetts Democratic leader who has also served as an AIPAC executive committee member, once praised Warren for her strong voting record on Israel. That strong voting record includes signing an AIPAC-sponsored letter in 2016 urging President Obama to veto a one-sided UN resolution condemning Israeli settlements, repeated support for sending money and military aid to Israel, and cosponsorship of a Senate bill earlier this year that handed Israel a total of $38 billion over the next ten years. Other pro-Israel PACs have also showered her with donations.

OK, so what we have in Warren is the typical ass kissing politician that cannot and will not be perched in the Oval Office without the financial support of the esoteric Jews in charge of financing shit birds that aspire to placement in the White House.
So what is happening here ? Is all of the talk about free shit really just another way of defrauding Americans into financing a world takeover by these vermin. Is this another scam like SOCIALIST SECURITY, a "LOCK BOX" OLD AGE INSURANCE, RETIREMENT ACCOUNT, all of which is complete bullshit ! Is it another play where I.O.U.s are put into the lock box and the funds diverted to the warmongering class ?
All I can say is that if this witch remains the apple of AIPAC's eye you can bet the only free shit will be bunker busting bombs !

When Bill Clinton was POTUS, he caused the funds from the Social Security Trust Fund to be borrowed to balance the budget. They left IOUs in that fund. Since that time all Social Security payments must be budgeted. He robbed Peter to pay Paul. ;)
