In one classless move, Sen. Elizabeth Warren displayed a telling example of the intolerance and condescending behavior that cost Democrats the White House.

Warren not only tore into President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, she then refused to shake her hand following the Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

The Massachusetts Democrat grilled DeVos over her “lack of experience” and even demanded a second day of hearings so she could continue her questioning.

The senator, who has repeatedly been referred to by President-elect Donald Trump as “Pocahontas” for falsifying her family history as a Native American, then added insult to injury as she waved off DeVos’ attempt to shake her hand following the hearing.

Probably not an Indian custom to shake hands? pic.twitter.com/cXPpJoQMNx

Senator Elizabeth Warren was as nasty, condescending, and flat out rude as is humanly possible at the hearing of Betsy DeVos.

Democrats and fans of Warren applauded her classless act which cameras captured.

Liz Warren’s hand probably would have caught fire if she shook that demon’s claw. I don’t blame her.

But many blasted the senator for the hypocrisy and intolerance, not to mention rudeness, she and other Democrats continue to display in their temper tantrums.

@SenWarren @usedgov Didn’t you commit fraud and lie about your heritage in order to get into college?

@SenWarren @usedgov not shaking Betsy DeVos’s hand when offered, showed your constituents how pathetic you really are.

Saw the video of Elizabeth Warren refusing to shake DeVos’s hand. Warren is an utterly repulsive human being.
