Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tweeted a photo Tuesday showing her posing with the “Fearless Girl” statue in New York.
“Fight like a girl,” Warren wrote alongside the image.

The bronze statue, created by artist Kristen Visbal on commission from financial services firm State Street Global Advisers, was installed in March and stares down the iconic “Charging Bull” statue in New York’s Financial District.
The artist behind the “Charging Bull” statue, Arturo Di Modica, has complained that the new installation “alters the artistic message behind the piece” without his permission.
“What they did, it’s a negative,” Di Modica said last week, according to USA Today.
Warren recently mocked those complaints, calling the “Fearless Girl” sculpture “terrific.”
“I hope she stands there until the bull falls over,” Warren told USA Today in an interview published Monday.
Di Modica has called the statue an “advertising trick” created by Boston-based financial firm State Street Global Advisors and its New York advertising firm McCann.
Warren tweeted the photo after a Tuesday morning appearance on NBC’s “Today,” where she avoided questions on whether she would run for president in 2020.
“No,” Warren answered when asked about a White House bid. “I am running in 2018 for senator from Massachusetts.”
