Boston radio host Howie Carr is under fire after he mocked Senator Elizabeth Warren’s claims of Native American heritage with a “war whoop” before he introduced Donald Trump in Maine on Wednesday.

According to Carr, Donald Trump told him after the event not to apologize:

Trump then used sportscaster Jimmy (the Greek) Snyder as an example of why Carr shouldn’t apologize:
ABOARD TRUMP ONE — The candidate loosened his tie and offered me some advice.
“Whatever you do, don’t apologize,” he said. “You never hear me apologize, do you? That’s what killed Jimmy the Greek way back. Remember? He was doing okay ’til he said he was sorry.”

If you recall, Snyder was fired by CBS in 1988 after apologizing for saying that “blacks were ‘bred’ to be better athletes than whites.”
Trump has been a frequent guest on Carr’s radio show:
