On Tuesday night's Daily Show on Comedy Central, host Trevor Noah dared to go where most of the liberal media fail to tread. Namely exactly why President Donald Trump calls Senator Elizabeth Warren by the name of "Pocahontas." He revealed that it was not so much an ethnic slur as it was a mockery of Warren's highly dubious claim to have Native-America ancestry. Yes, Noah took some shots at Trump along the way but that is pretty much expected. What is surprising is his funny commentary about Warren's claimed ethnic background.
This whole beef between Donald Trump and Elizabeth Warren is a tricky one to process because all the other nicknames he uses on other people are self-explanatory..... But when he says "Pocahontas" you might be thinking, "Wait Trevor, I'm confused, is Elizabeth Warren Native American?" And you see that's the question because for a long time she said she was.
Correct, Trevor. A question that most of the liberal media refuses to either ask or answer.
Wow! How white is your college that when you get called out for being too white your response is naw-ah! We got her! Yo! Elizabeth come on out here and show these white folks what it is!
Noah proceeded to mock Warren's contribution to a cookbook called Pow Wow Chow:
Wow. Okay. If you're contributing recipes to a book called "Pow Wow Chow," you better be comfortable in your Native American identity.
At this point Trevor Noah did the slight bit of research that the liberal media overwhelmingly refused to do for obvious political reasons:
The problem is in 2012 the New England Historical Genealogical Society looked into it and they found no proof of Warren having Native American lineage which is problematic because she wrote for "Pow Wow Chow." I mean that would be like finding out I'm completely white, I have no African blood, and yet I wrote the book "Snacks For Blacks."
Finally, this stunner from Noah...a bit of praise (wrapped in a slam) for Trump:
Elizabeth Warren did something problematic. The kind of thing that we rightfully call each other out for every single day. So as weird as it is to say, in his own racially offensive way, Donald Trump was being "woke." And that's unfortunately the truth and like a Bernie Sanders pop album, the truth isn't always something we want to hear.
Trevor Noah is already being slammed for his very slight defense of Trump at the Democratic Underground:
Trevor Noah defending Trump on "Pocahontas"
So this is his takeaway from Trump's slur in front of Native Americans. Calling him "woke."
Proving, once again, why, since that hack took over, the Daily Show has lost all buzz it once had.
Exit question: How long before the liberal media also joins in on attacking Noah for the unforgivable heresy of giving praise (albeit very slight) to Trump while mocking Elizabeth Warren?
