Sen. Elizabeth Warren had a few things to say after Republican frontrunner Donald Trump won Indiana's primary Tuesday. Warren hopped on Facebook to outline the GOP candidate's incendiary speech, authoritarian leanings, and lack of social tact in order to slow his political momentum down. The lengthy post has gone viral, accumulating 437,000 likes and 242,000 shares in less than a day. The move follows Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's announcement Tuesday ending his run for president. Ohio Gov. John Kasich followed suit shortly after, announcing he would suspend his campaign.

"Trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia," she said. "There's more enthusiasm for him among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls." 

Warren listed the many ways she believes Trump has created an atmosphere based on fear and hatred. She then concluded with a call to every American voter: "What happens next will test the character for all of us—Republican, Democrat, and Independent. It will determine whether we move forward as one nation or splinter at the hands of one man's narcissism and divisiveness. I know which side I'm on, and I’m going to fight my heart out to make sure Donald Trump’s toxic stew of hatred and insecurity never reaches the White House."

As of Wednesday, Warren's post received more than 450,000 responses and 200,000 shares. 

Warren then chopped up her Facebook post into 140-word slices, and served her message up to her Twitter followers. But it's unclear if it'll be able to slow Trump's momentum.
