Boston radio host at Trump event mocks Warren with war whoops

Boston-based talk show host Howie Carr on Wednesday ripped into Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for her recent attacks on Donald Trump.

Before a Trump rally in Bangor, Maine, the radio host uttered the names of Warren and Hillary Clinton, making reference to their campaign stop together Monday in Cincinnati.


"You know Elizabeth Warren, right?" Carr asked, before putting his hand over his mouth and chanting an imitation of Indian war whoops. "Elizabeth Warren said, or maybe it was Hillary, she said the only people for Donald Trump are rich guys. Are any of you guys out there rich guys?" Carr asked. "I don’t see too many rich guys out here today. Except me. Did I hear that? I didn’t come here to be made sport of," he said, responding to people in the audience.

Trump has frequently hit out at Warren for her attacks on him, bringing up the controversy over claims about Native American heritage that dogged her throughout the 2012 Senate race against Scott Brown. The presumptive Republican nominee called Warren "very racist" in an interview with NBC News earlier this week, repeating his derisive "Pocahontas" nickname for her.

In late September 2012, Brown staffers were caught on camera mocking Warren by doing a tomahawk chop and war whoop noises.

Brown recently brought up Warren's heritage again — and the accusation that she secured a job at Harvard University by claiming to be of Cherokee ancestry — on a conference call hosted by the Republican National Committee, saying, "As you know, she's not Native American."

And he suggested that Warren could clear up the controversy one of several ways: "Harvard can release the records, she can authorize the release of those records, or she can take a DNA test."
