CNN panel praises on 70-year-old Trump for acting ‘grown up’ by calling Elizabeth Warren a racist

CNN panel heaps praise on 70-year-old Trump for acting ‘grown up’ by calling Elizabeth Warren a racist

When the Supreme Court announced its decision against the Texas abortion law, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s Twitter account was silent. Just half an hour later when Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) took the podium at a Cincinnati rally and attacked Trump calling him out for whining on Twitter about “fat pigs” or “dummies” who oppose him. Trump’s Twitter account still sat silent.

Instead, Trump’s campaign sent out a press release and the candidate spoke to an NBC News reporter where he refrained from calling Warren “Pocahontas,” as he has in the past, and instead called her the racist.

CNN wasn’t shocked. They didn’t assume the alleged “thin-skinned,” “bully” had finally spontaneously combusted in anger. Instead, the panel rejoiced that the self-professed billionaire had finally matured.

“He has been calling Elizabeth Warren, ‘Pocahontas,’ repeatedly,” Brianna Keilar said. “This is the more grown up way to put what he is — what his allegation is.”

Nia-Malika Henderson agreed, saying that it was a kind of “mature version of a non-fifth grade version of the ‘Pocahontas’ — what some people think is an insult.” It is unclear if she meant that Trump had graduated to more middle-school attacks like “I know you are but what am I.”

Yep, calling her a racist is better than calling her Pocahontas!

Grownup way of calling her out.

The bar is set so low that if Trump Monkey wears a nice suit and does not use the N word during a speech he now looks presidential.

So CNN fails for the typical "accusing others of what you are guilty of" playground argument.

Trump didn't punch anyone in the head in a wrestling ring today. Look how presidential he's getting!

All they needed was former Trump aid, now a CNN employee, to add to the insanity. This is what passes for commentary? You can make your disgust known by contacting CNN here. http://edition.cnn.com/feedbac...

Trump is hailed for making a "mature version of a non-fifth grade insult"?
Well we can assume Trump didn't flunk and is matriculating into the sixth grade this fall.
