In news from the campaign trail, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held a rally in Maine, where he continued to criticize free trade deals. He appeared on stage alongside Maine Governor Paul LePage, who has faced intense criticism over his past racist comments, including claiming that African-American men come to his state as drug dealers and “impregnate a young, white girl before they leave.” Another speaker at the rally was Howie Carr, a conservative Boston talk show host, who referred to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren by imitating Native American war whoops.
Howie Carr: “You know Elizabeth Warren, right? Whoop, whoop, whoop.”
Imitating Native American war whoops is widely considered to be an offensive and ignorant gesture. This comes after Donald Trump has spent months calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” and “The Indian.” Warren says her family is part Cherokee.
