Daily Show panelists say Redskins fans threatened to “cut” them

Not content to make one deeply respectful fan cry during their controversial confrontation with Redskins fans the day before, the American Indian interlopers insisted on invading the football lovers’ sacred tailgating grounds, making people so uncomfortable, they were forced to act like jackasses in self-defense. According to 1491s member Migizi Pensoneau, the group was met with outright hostility, intimidation, and threats of physical violence—including one woman who was so offended by Pensoneau’s “Caucasians” T-shirt that she threatened to “fucking cut” him.

Pensoneau says that the confrontations grew so ugly that he was afraid for his life, a claim that seems to be backed up by the fact that The Daily Show deemed the footage too “intense” and ultimately cut it from its segment on the topic.
