Liz Cheney Backs Trump’s Racist Mocking Of Warren

The Hill reports:

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Sunday said it isn’t surprising President Trump would mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) over her claims to Native American heritage, because she “has made herself a laughing stock.”

“Look, Elizabeth Warren has made herself a laughing stock. I don’t think anybody should be surprised that that’s been the reaction to her,” Cheney told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Cheney, the House GOP conference chair, made the comment after Jake Tapper asked her about recent tweets by the president, who appeared to compare Warren’s 2020 presidential run to the “Trail of Tears.”
