During a speech at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner on Thursday evening, outgoing UN Ambassador Nikki Haley made a joke about her own ethnicity, while jabbing at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and President Donald Trump’s ongoing feud over Warren’s Native American heritage.
“Last year you went with Paul Ryan, who’s a Boys Scout, and that’s fine, but a little boring,” she said. “So this year you wanted to spice things up again. I get it, you wanted an Indian woman, but Elizabeth Warren failed her DNA test. Actually, when the President found out that I was Indian American, he asked me if I was from the same tribe as Elizabeth Warren.”
Haley’s parents are immigrants from Punjab, India. Warren has recently come under fire from Republicans and Democrats alike for taking a DNA test to combat Trump’s claims that she’s lying about her Native American heritage.
Watch the speech below. The joke begins at the 1:44 mark.
Not sure she could have annoyed more people if she’d been trying.
No, it began a long time ago.
I think it just makes tRump and his ass kissers look dumb. What am I missing?
And what did she answer ? “Yes,intelligent women” ?
So the joke is Trump is an idiot?
No, that’s a fact, not a joke…
