President Donald Trump warned attendees at the National Rifle Association's annual convention on Friday that they probably won't like the Democrats running for president in 2020. He used a derogatory nickname to specifically call out Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
"I have a feeling that in the next election, you're going to be swamped with candidates, but you’re not going to be wasting your time," said Trump, the first sitting president to address the NRA's convention since Ronald Reagan. "You'll have plenty of those Democrats coming over and you’re going to say, 'No, sir. No, thank you. No, ma'am.' Perhaps 'ma'am.' It may be Pocahontas, remember that. And she is not big for the NRA, that I can tell you. But you came through for me, and I am going to come through for you."
The crowd booed when he mentioned Warren.
[Snip]
Native American leaders have condemned Trump's nickname for Warren, but he continues to use it.
"I think he definitely says it as a slur," Jacqueline Pata, executive director of the National Congress of American Indians, told The New York Times last June. "No matter how he feels about Elizabeth Warren, to throw that out there is disrespectful to real Native Americans."

Pocahontas is derogatory? Fauxcahauntus is closer to true!
That was a very funny moment! He tells it like it is. LOL!
She will never live that down.
I can only guess the Puffington Host got all “wee weed up” about that one. Not going to check as I hate that site.
It is not derogatory at all. She saved John Smith, converted to Christianity, and married an Englishman.
Apparently the Huffington Post doesn’t know its history.
If anything, the president was being kind to Ms. Warren by not calling her Fauxcahontas. :)
It will be hilarious if they do run her.
She has all the appeal of soggy bread.

LOL! The Dems have quite the star lineup. ;)
Bingo.
First, love your tagline! And as for this:
“I’m Ani Yun Wiya (Cherokee)”
That is fascinating! When I was in law school, I knew a woman who was Cherokee; I believe she was from Oklahoma.
“I don’t feel disrespected by what Trump said...I feel disrespected by what Warren did to get into college...”
I imagine you would be. Warren and Rachel Dolezal should form a club.
They are upset at President Trump but not the LYING borderline Albino White Woman claiming Indian Ancestry to get a $300,000 Gig teaching ONE College Course?
Besides, she isn’t Pocahontas, she’s LIEAWATHA.
Thank you....
what she did to get in college was outright fraud- and possibly grand larceny under false pretenses- yet amazingly she’ll be running for president? How sick is the left?
The commies always leave out her lying to get into college.
:) Take care, FRiend.

Maybe Trump can have the IRS audit the phony woman for college applications and make her pay for her education with interest
So dems no like when alinsky tactics used back on em huh?
Hmmm. When asked about the last go around, she said her husband told her it probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Odd eh. Big chief telling squaw what’s best. Some feminist huh? On the other hand, what about the guy that would actually marry her.
If the Anti-First Amendment (AntiFA) snowflakes elect her, who the hell will run her fry bread and breakfast burrito stand?
