Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed President Trump at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in Boston on Monday, calling him a "racist bully."
"We face the challenge of an openly racist president of the United States," Warren said in part, according to the Boston Magazine. "Donald Trump is a racist bully, and we know how to deal with bullies. We don't back down. We don't shut up. We fight back."
Her comments come days after Trump allegedly used the word "s-hole" to describe some countries.
According to the Washington Post, following a discussion about people coming to the U.S. from El Salvador, Haiti, and Africa, Trump said, "Why are we having all these people from s-hole countries come here?"
Warren is not the only one to criticize Trump for the reported remark.
"It's not how a president should speak. It's not how a president should behave," former Vice President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter Friday. "Most of all, it's not what a president should believe. We're better than this." Trump appeared to offer a denial, when he tweeted, "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used."
He also told reporters on Sunday, "No, I'm not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed."
