Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren once praised then-candidate and future President Donald Trump as someone who gets out and he talks about important things, but said his position on deporting undocumented immigrants scratches his name off the list.

Senator Warren made the remarks during a September, 2015 appearance on ABCs The View.

During the show, then-co-host Paula Faris asked about Trumps appeal, as he was then rising to the top of an expansive Republican primary field.

What is it that he is doing thats creating this? Faris asked.

You know, I dont know, there are a lot of places where he gets out and he talks about important things, Warren said, then added Like, Donald Trump and I both agree that there ought to be more taxation of the billionaires, the people who are making their money on Wall Street.

Co-host Joy Behar chimed in, Thats a pretty liberal position, to which Warren replied, Dont call it liberal. It is a pretty right position. And its where most of America is.

What is he doing thats really connecting with people? Faris said.

Well, I got to tell you, its the other half with Donald Trump, Warren said. Because hes the one who said he wants to rip 11 million people who live in this country right now, rip them out of their families, take them away, and deport them.

For me, that just scratches his name off the list, Warren continued, adding You cant be president of the United States if thats your view about how were going to solve immigration reform. Thats wrong.

When Faris asked again why Trump was resonating with so many people, Warren cracked Youve got to remember who hes being measured against on the Republican side, no offense, then went on to say that I [Warren] think part of whats happening is people want to know what the candidates out there stand for and what theyre willing to fight for.

Bernie Sanders is out there generating an enormous amount of interest. Hes out there talking about it, and I think this is what we need for all the presidential candidates, Warren said.

Warren never got around to naming the other important things Trump talks about, but as president, Trump never did manage to raise taxes on billionaires. Or at least, he hasnt yet.
