Trump Hilariously Baits Fauxcahontas on #FakeNews Cherokee Claims;
Media Claims It's, Get This, an Attack on #MeToo

The media can't rebut the charge that Elizabeth Warren lied for years about her background to get favorable diversity-hire treatement that a WHITE WOMAN shouldn't get, so they edit Trump's attack to make it about... rape?

Great video. You've probably seen it, but if you haven't, check it out.

"I shouldn't tell you because I like to not give away secrets," Trump said. "But let's say I'm debating Pocahontas. I promise you I'll do this: I will take, you know those little kits they sell on television... learn your heritage!"

"A guy says he was born in Scotland, turns out h was born in Puerto Rico, that's okay, that's good, you know. A guy ways he was born in Germany, he was born someplace else."

"And in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims that she is of Indian heritage because her mother said she has high cheek bones, that is her only evidence, her mother said we have high cheek bones," Trump continued.

"We will take that little kit -- but we have to do it gently. Because we're in the #MeToo generation, we have to do it gently," the president trolled. "And we will very genlty take that kit, and slowly toss it, hoping it doesn't injure her arm, and we will say: I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian."

The media is seizing on that reference to #MeToo and claiming that Trump made a #MeToo joke, as if he was laughing at Elizabeth Warren for being a rape survivor.

CNN decided to just copy and past the BBC's #HotTake:
