&feature=youtu.beA talk radio host opening for Donald Trump used the racist war whoop gesture to make fun of Sen. Elizabeth Warren at a rally in Maine Wednesday.
Howie Carr covered his mouth with his hand and removed it while making high-pitched noises in the motion popularized by depictions of American Indians in old Western films, Politico reported.
You know Elizabeth Warren, right? Carr asked the cheering crowd before making the gesture at an event for the Republican presidential candidate in Bangor. The motion was captured on camera and posted to YouTube.
The Democratic senator from Massachusetts, a vocal critic of Trump, has faced accusations by Republicans that she lied about having Cherokee heritage to get her former job as a Harvard University professor. Trump mocked her by calling her Pocahontas and said she is "very racist" earlier this week.

I began to question what was in the food i was eating for dinner. Crazy begets crazy, and the republican convention will be a weeklong freakshow.

That he did that...
The real kicker is that he owned it, doesn't regret it and will do it again (further down the article).
But did the crowd cheer? The video cut off so quickly, I couldn't tell if they were cheers, boos or a combo of both...

There are far stronger words to describe this idiot, but for now, I'll refrain.
