Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called President Trump “creepy” on Monday for saying he will only make good on his $1 million bet on the senator’s Native American ancestry if he can test her “personally.”
“We all know why [Donald Trump] makes creepy physical threats about me, right?” the Massachusetts Democrat asked on Twitter.
“He’s scared. He’s trying to do what he always does to women who scare him: call us names, attack us personally, shrink us down to feel better about himself,” she continued.
“It may soothe his ego – but it won’t work,” the senator added.
Earlier Monday, Warren released a video showing she took a DNA test that a researcher said “strongly supports” the senator’s claim she has a Native American ancestor.
Her video referenced taunts made by Trump at a campaign rally in July, during which he also said he would pay up if it’s proven she is “an Indian.”

On Monday, Trump initially denied he ever made the offer then later said that “I’ll only do it if I can test her personally.”
