Sen. Elizabeth WarrenElizabeth WarrenTrump probe puts spotlight on Justice's No. 3 Conway blames lawmaker shooting on 'personal attacks' against Trump Warren rips Senate GOP for secretive work on healthcare bill MORE (D-Mass.) on Friday ripped Senate Republicans in an interview with "CBS This Morning" for drafting their version of the bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare behind closed doors without any input from Democrats.

"Right now, the Senate Republican leadership has 13 men locked behind doors, negotiating what they're going to do on a healthcare bill won't let Democrats in the room to even see the bill," Warren said.

Prompted by CBS host Jeff Glor that President Trump had called the House bill "mean," Warren responded by blasting the president for holding a Rose Garden celebration with GOP lawmakers following its passage.

"This is a bill that's going to touch every American family," Warren continued. "Everybody who's got an elderly relative in a nursing home, everybody who has a child with special needs, these cuts to Medicaid will touch millions of families."

On Sunday, Republicans announced that they saw a path to repealing ObamaCare through the Senate. If the Senate bill passes, the two bills will go through a reconciliation process.

Warren, one of the most liberal members of the Senate, ripped the House bill shortly after it passed.

"A health care bill that destroys care & affordable coverage for millions seriously? What planet are these guys living on?!" Warren tweeted in March.
