Elizabeth Warren Calls Trump A 'Thin-Skinned Racist' Over Pocahontas Remarks

[UCmeNdc]

The conversation started with predictable banter:

MUIR:Trump called you Pocahontas. Is that racist?

WARREN: Yes,he is a thin-skinned racist!

MUIR: Is that calling him a name too?

WARREN: It fits the facts. COME ON!

She replies with examples of his clear racism towards Mexicans and Muslims. Then she eviscerates his both-siderist question with a quote directly from Republican House Speaker and Zombie Eyed P90X Trump endorser, Paul Ryan that proves her point. She schooled Muir, in typical Warren fashion.

WARREN: He tried to attack the judge, the federal judge, in his case (Trump University fraud scam) a man whose name is Curiél, and Donald Trump said well, I think I've heard that he is Mexican and therefore he can't sit in judgement of my case. He believed that his bigotry disqualified a Mexican-American judge. AND, Paul Ryan said, 'I think that's pretty much the textbook definition of racism,'

And that's the heart of what Donald Trump has been doing. He and his party have embraced it all. Racial bigotry, religious bigotry, attacks on women, attacks on gays, attacks on immigrants. That is the heart and the energy of what Donald Trump is bringing to America today.

She's just one of the awesome surrogates in Clinton's corner that really gets under his very thin skin.

1. I'm actually glad she wasn't chosen for VP

I think she would have to slightly moderate her remarks if she had been. As it stands, she is free to speak her mind. And I hope she gets in front of every camera that will have her and speaks the truth about this asshat.

"Civility is the new sexy"! It always has been, to some of us.

5. And once again a member of the media

Tries to push along the false narrative that both sides do it

Kudos to Sen. Warren for pushing back with plain-as-day facts.

6. She forgot Donald Trump's rooting for spying operations by Russia against the Democratic Party

Traitor Donald Trump and Paul Manafort.
