Late Show host Stephen Colbert described President Donald Trump’s jokes about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as a “racist tirade” amid the ongoing drama over her supposed American Indian ancestry. On Tuesday, Warren released test results indicating that she had a maximum of 1.6 percent “Mesoamerican” heritage, which is far below the minimum requirement to claim membership of most Native American tribes.
“After years of mocking Elizabeth Warren, clearly the President must have had a lot to say about these test results,” Colbert said, before playing a clip of Trump saying he did not care about the test results.
“You care! You’re literally the only person who cares,” he exclaimed. “In fact, you cared so much, you once offered a million dollars to charity if Senator Warren proves she is part Native American, a fact reporters reminded you of today.”
Stephen Colbert went on to show a clip of Trump suggesting that “Pocahontas” (his nickname for Warren) take an ancestry DNA test, which he said must be done “very gently” to appease the Me Too generation.
“Trump went out of his way to stuff a Me Too joke into the middle of his racist tirade,” Colbert said. “It’s like he’s making a turducken that’s just all turd.”
On Monday evening, Warren launched a bizarre Twitter rant in defense of her decision, which many claimed was another indication of her desire to challenge Trump as the Democratic nominee for the presidency in 2020.

I believe Warren is the one obsessed with race.
Colbert is a friggin tard. I hate his guts.
Go to Hell Stephen Colbert!
A white accusing another WHITE person of lying is now "RACISM"?
Fauxhantas is more purely WHITE than a whole LOT of other white Americans.
Lighten up Colbert, you sorry POS. Don’t you have a vibrator that needs its batteries changed or something, you racist ass?
This stuff used to bother me. Now I just laugh.
Pure propagandist.
Show me the funny..
Colbert should be telling them that they are not what they want to be, and get over it.
The Democrats are desperate.
The Democrats don’t have any real solutions or offer any real answers.
The Democrats just complain every day of the week.
Does Colbert think the libs blasting the Cherokee Nation for not supporting fauxhontas are racists?
I call S Colbert the “snowflake in chief” and the Soros family poodle. He is there to give out opinions to young adults too illiterate to form their own, and to remind older leftists what they are supposed to think, because of their pot-ruined brain cells not retaining enough information.
His music guy is weird too, what is that thing he coaxes sound from? Or is it the other way round?
A late night comic’s opinion means nothing to me. That is all that need be said.
Right. And if mentioning that someone is pretending to a higher social category (and actually gaining employ or status from it!) is racist, then equally racist is the person calling out the person calling out the race faker. And so on.
I feel guilty about Colbert. I am sad that there doesn’t seem to be a rare deadly accident I’d be able to hear about him experiencing with the required amount of sympathy.
Has Been Celebrities Like Colbert ...! Is there ANYTHING they don’t know?
We have people without values lecturing to us about values. Enough of the hypocrisy. —goldstategop
To Sail Beyond the Sunset Quotes (showing 1-1 of 1)
“But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an entertainer or athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”
Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset
White on White = Racist ?
The press is totally misrepresenting the “bet”. He SAID (probably in jest) IF she gets the nomination and IF they debate that he would give her a million dollars to charity IF the test proved she was native American. Number 1 the test proved no such thing...just the opposite. Number 2 the other conditions aren’t even close to being satisfied.
“No solutions?
Don’t complain.”
Dems always be whining.
Let them eat Cheez Wizz with it.
