“ The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah made fun of presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Wednesday for how she’s handled the lingering controversy over her past claims of having Native American ancestry.

“God damn, so over 30 years ago, Elizabeth Warren said she was American Indian and almost every Virginian politician was in blackface. Did no one want to be white in the 80s?”, Noah said on his show, tying Warren to the turmoil in Virginia this week facing the state’s top Democratic officials.

Noah jokingly mused about how Warren’s controversy may not go away any time soon after the Washington Post published a document this week from her 1986 registration card for the Texas Bar showing she put “American Indian” as her race.

“And how many times is Warren gonna keep getting busted for this? Like at some point, even Rachel Dolezal is gonna be like, ‘Girl, enough already! You’re making things harder for us real women of color!'” he said.

“I think this is pretty much what we can look forward to for the next two years,” Noah said, adding he expects Warren and other Democratic candidates making blunders and apologies to be the norm of the 2020 election.

Warren apologized Tuesday after the Texas Bar document came to light. “I am sorry for furthering confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and harm that resulted,” she said in an interview with the Washington Post.

Among the taunts Warren has faced over the years, including for claiming Native American heritage on her Harvard Law School job application, is the nickname “Pocahontas,” which has been latched onto by President Trump. Warren attempted to put the criticism to rest by releasing the results of a DNA test last fall. Warren later apologized to the Cherokee Nation for flaunting her DNA test results.
