Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren turned to Twitter to find dirt on President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury pick Steve Mnuchin Friday.
The Democratic member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Development reached out to her followers on Twitter for help finding ways to delay the Senate confirmation of Mnuchin Friday afternoon.
The tweet calling for those who were “hurt” by Mnuchin was the last in a series that attacked the investment banker for his ties to the financial community.
Democratic leaders in both chambers of Congress are running blind in the weeks after Trump won the 2016 election, according to a Monday report from Politico. Senior members of Congress were forced to call third-party advocacy groups to use their opposition files on Trump and his appointments. The Clinton campaign apparently hasn’t shared its central Trump file with other ranking Democrats, according to the report, forcing leaders like Warren to turn to alternative methods.
As of press time, the responses to the progressive senator haven’t been positive. Most users attacked her, citing Warren’s alleged profit from bank foreclosures, and others gave advice for Warren not to “fall down the establishment rabbit hole” in her reelection bid in 2018.
