President Donald Trump's oldest son Donald Trump Jr. blasted Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) on Twitter Saturday after she claimed that Republicans were "rigging the system for the rich & powerful."

After Republicans pulled their health care bill from being voted on in the House of Representatives, Warren took to Twitter on Friday to say she wasn't "doing a touchdown dance" yet. She then wrote that "the GOP is still hell-bent on rigging the system for the rich & powerful."

Trump Jr. hit back with a crack at Warren's own history, citing when she was a professor and brought in nearly half a million dollars a year to teach one class.

This is not the first time Warren has been accused of hypocrisy when comparing her financial actions with what she says in the political world.

Between 2010 and 2011, Warren garnered over $700,000, some of which came from government salary.

Warren has repeatedly criticized banks and the financial industry for their conduct in the housing crisis, however, Warren made large sums of money using the crisis to her advantage when she flipped houses. And although Warren routinely criticizes corporations, she accepts campaign donations from the financial sector. Additionally, Warren has pushed for stricter ethics rules and enforcement, but she failed to disclose over a million dollar line of credit by using a loophole.
