WASHINGTON, DC: Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren took a little spill on the Senate floor on Thursday, July 31. Naturally, the MAGA crowd on social media couldn't resist piling on with the jokes.

Warren was there giving a speech on appropriations and was chatting with her colleagues after wrapping up. When she leaned against a small table, it collapsed beneath her and sent her tumbling to the floor.



 

Luckily, Warren landed on her seat after just a little bump and managed to stay on her feet. Fellow senators rushed to check on her, but Warren quickly reassured them she was fine and popped right back up.

MAGA supporters troll Elizabeth Warren as she falls on the Senate floor

Thankfully, the fall wasn’t serious, but her MAGA detractors had a field day with it on social media.

Podcaster Nick Sortor led the charge. “She attempted a 'casual lean' to look like a normal human being, but totally botched it. Gravity’s a b***h, Pocahontas!" he posted on X (formerly Twitter), doubling down on President Donald Trump’s infamous nickname for Warren.

Washington Reporter editor-in-chief Matthew Foldi added, “Warren just ate s**t on the Senate floor.”



 

From there, it only snowballed.

“CNN reports that Trump tripped her,” one X user joked, while another quipped, “Democrat sources have told me she didn’t fall and was actually doing a rain dance.”

“Even gravity’s tired of her pretending to be relatable,” someone else snarked.

“Cruz a better man than me. I would have run over, pointed, laughed, and then go into a Native American celebration dance,” read one comment.

“It looks like the Lobby of a Cracker Barrel 10 minutes before the 5:00 ‘Senior Special Buffet’ starts,” another joked.

One more wrote, "Down goes Pocahontas 🥊," while an individual expressed, "



 



 



 



 



 



 



 

GOP senators rushed to help Elizabeth Warren

Despite the social media roasting session, there was a flicker of bipartisanship on the Senate floor.

As Warren hit the deck, several GOP senators, including Ted Cruz of Texas and Susan Collins of Maine, rushed to help her up. Cruz was seen extending his hand as Warren stood. Rand Paul of Kentucky and John Barrasso of Wyoming also stepped in to offer assistance.

The fall happened as the Senate was voting on two hot-button resolutions to block US military sales to Israel. Warren, a vocal critic of the war in Gaza, voted in favor. On the other hand, every Republican voted against it.

The resolutions were sponsored by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who’s been leading the charge in criticizing Israel’s military campaign against Hamas.

Elizabeth Warren targets Donald Trump’s blockchain bucks

Of late, Elizabeth Warren has been busy trying to clip Donald Trump's crypto wings. On Thursday, she teamed up with Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ron Wyden to send a pointed letter to OCC head Jonathan Gould, raising concerns about the Trump family’s growing crypto empire.

“We are concerned about Trump and his family’s continued use of cryptocurrency business ventures to line their pockets,” the trio wrote.

The letter demands answers on what the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency plans to do to keep Trump’s “financial conflicts of interest” from interfering with federal oversight.

The concerns come on the heels of newly approved legislation called the GENIUS Act that hands the OCC regulatory power over stablecoins.
