Dana Loesch says Racist Senator Elizabeth Warren got “mitch-slapped” and deserved it. Loesch commented on the hypocrisy of Warren [who once pretended to be Native American so that she could get a job at Harvard] who is now calling someone else a racist. “I think it’s hysterical that this woman, who is a cultural appropriator, who is a race appropriator, that she has the audacity to engage in some sort of race-based attack against someone simply because she doesn’t like their party affiliation and doesn’t wish to see them confirmed to be AG,” said Loesch. “And I’ll tell you this, the closest that her [Warren] ancestors ever came to American Indians was rounding up my ancestors, so let’s get that straight right now if anyone wants to have a discussion on what is or is not racist.” Democrats need to stop making excuses for the original Rachel Dolezal.
