Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren on Monday described Trump's presidency as passing in "dog years."
The comment was made during her interview on CBS' 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
Colbert said that it was Warren's first appearance during the Trump presidency, and she responded, "Oh, I remember those days. How long has he been president now?"
"Forty-five years...If my bone density is any indication," Colbert quipped. "That's right. They were dog years, now they're Trump years," Warren noted.
The Democratic Senator also commented on Trump's recent tweet in which he called her Pocahontas, as he has in the past.
"Donald Trump thinks if he's going to start every one of these tweets to me with some kind of racist slur here that he's going to shut me up," Warren said. "It didn't work in the past, it's not going to work in the future."
That tweet, made on November 3 and just days after the White House declared November as Native American Heritage Month, read, "Pocahontas just stated that the Democrats, lead by the legendary Crooked Hillary Clinton, rigged the Primaries! Lets go FBI & Justice Dept."
"Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be a Native American in order to advance her career. Very racist!" Trump asserted via Twitter in June 2016.
Though Warren has said there are Delaware and Cherokee branches on her family tree, the Washington Post said it investigated claims that Warren used them to gain an advantage in securing jobs and found no truth behind them.
