Scott Brown Staffer Taunts Elizabeth Warren with "War Whoops and Tomahawk"

Scott Brown refuses to apologize after video surfaces - blames Warren. What an absolute piece of garbage. Between the blatant GOP Dog Whistles and now this, there is absolutely NO RACIST LENGTHS to which the disgraced GOP will stoop. That party will implode after Obama wins in November, and not a minute too soon.

Very disgusting video at link below.

Asked today about the video that showed his staffer and one from the state Republican Party taunting Elizabeth Warren supporters with war whoops and tomahawk chops, Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown said, "[C]ertainly that's not something I condone. It's certainly something that, if I'm aware of it, I will tell that [staff] member never to do that again."

Asked whether he would apologize, Brown said:


"The apologies that need to be made and the offensiveness here is the fact that professor Warren took advantage of a claim, to be somebody -- a Native American -- and using that for an advantage, a tactical advantage."

It's hard to see how they could get more bigoted.

This is exactly as childish as those purple heart bandaids the hate filled Christian loonies were sporting at the RNC in 2004.

I just hope the majority realizes adults need to be in charge, not a bunch of taunting children.

Two political aides have been accused of making offensive gestures linked to Native Americans to poke fun at a US Massachusetts senator's challenger.

The men recorded apparently making "tomahawk chops" and war whoops at a campaign event were Republican aides, according to the Democratic Party.

They are said to have been mocking candidate Elizabeth Warren, who claims Native American ancestry.
