Trump's 'Pocahontas' attack leaves fellow Republicans squirming (again)

The furor over Trump’s assaults on the impartiality of a Latino judge had just begun to subside when he lobbed two tweets Friday morning responding to Warren, who had lambasted him as a "thin-skinned, racist bully" in a speech the previous evening.

"Pocahontas is at it again!" Trump wrote in one. "Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth."

The response to the Pocahontas remarks have been mixed and in many cases muted - a sign of how jittery GOP leaders are still trying to find their comfort level with his rhetoric.

Romney told CNN on Friday that he was worried Trump's language could lead to "trickle-down racism" in the country.

When asked why he persists in calling Warren "Pocahontas" and what he makes of the alarm it has caused among some Republicans, Trump responded bluntly in a statement Friday: "Because she is a nasty person, a terrible U.S. Senator, and it drives her crazy."

Actually she’s Fauxachontus, but with his New York accent it plays right into the media’s hands.

Just saying she is off the reservation will not do. Bill Clinton at one point carried a Zuni bear fetish for good fortune as per the WSJ.

So Romney calls this trickle-down racism. The idiot sounds like James Carville.

Or saying that “he” is the cause of violence at his rallies. No I like that busts their chops. So sick of the left being at liberty to say & do whatever they like but the right can not.

I want Trump to keep verbally punching back, I am so glad that the left is finally being mocked! I want years of Trump calling them out for their hypocrisy!

But she’s allowed to call him a fraud. He calls her pocahontas because she’s the fraud who lied on a job application to get a cushy position. I assume the squishy republicans are ok with that?

Who demounced Romney for the Racist comments about 47% remarks is worse than anything Trump has said.

The GOP establishment is using Liberal tactics to defend themselves from Trump (and Trump knows it).

First it was the race card re: the La Raza judge, now it is plain old political correctness re: Warren.

The Washington Post article left out the fact that she got her position at Harvard based on the non existent Cherokee heritage. I think that is an important fact - wonder why the authors left it out?

I think he could make this better by calling Fauxchahontus.

The more the establishment trashes him, the more he will win. If guys like Kirk don’t want to campaign with him, so be, don’t campaign with him.

Native Americans should speak out against this phony. She took advantage of a heritage she doesn’t have.

The only thing Trump did wrong was call her Pocahontas instead of Fauxcahontas.

Agreed, this is an opportunity.

He should define the word Faux, and explain how it pertains to Elizabeth Warren.

This is what drives the Leftist apoplectic. The Left is so use to the enjoyment of kicking the dog, AKA the Republican candidate, and having the dog roll over and whimper.

Now the Left is dealing with a dog named Trump, and he is not behaving in the expected manner. They kick the dog and the dog doesn't whimper. It instead latches onto their leg, chomps down, and draws blood. The leftists howl in protest. It's beautiful.

“These “republicans” don’t seem to have a problem when their commie lib pals call Trump a “racist” for wanting to enforce our laws.”


Or when the left calls ANY conservative a bigot, racist, etc., etc.,

Personally, I prefer “Fauxcahontas,” or the more eclectic, and gender-inappropriate, “Lieawatha.”
