Trump's 'Pocahontas' attack leaves fellow Republicans squirming (again)
Washington Post ^ | June 10, 2016 | Matea Gold, Karoun Demirjian and Mike DeBonis

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.

[Snip]

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."

Like everyone else on FR, I'll add that Obama already did that and no one seemed to mind except us!

Romney is a dumbass!

Thanks Matea Gold, Karoun Demirjian and Mike DeBonis we're sooooooooo sure your great concern for Republicans is real...

LOL

First, Warren's not really an Indian... it's a joke. She used minority privilege to gin the system in her favor. We're laughing at a white person who gamed the minority scam... it's funny mocking a lowlife.

Sorry that you Matea, Karoun and Mike didn't 'get' the joke.

Any “fellow Republican” who squirms at this is a gutless pussy.

They are so cowed by the liberal media that they instinctively cower at even the slightest criticism of a dem. THIS is why our nation is the way it is. Nobody in power will stand up and push back against this PC groupthink.

They (media, Dems, Pubbie establishment) criticize Trump for some of his comments, but the vitriol Fauxahontus was spewing this week against Trump was anything but civil.

I didn't hear/read any criticizing her for her vitriol.

Trump responds in kind.

Unlike Clinton and McCain who cowered at the first race card volley from Obama in 2008 or Romney who cowered after the ‘get the transcript, Candy’ Obama rant in 2012.

That is a part of the larger puzzle, Sarah, IMO.

They work together passing laws that enrich each other in huge amounts. Ryan recently passing his legislation that protects and enriches Romney’s private company, Bain Capital, in P.R. (Conservative Treehouse article) is but one example.

Another of many examples is that Congress members are get inside trader information with which they can use to further enrich themselves.

They are “owned” by uber wealthy power people. In order to advance their career, they have something “on” the politicians, which is used against them if they don’t follow the globalist plans. As one player puts it: “We own them or we off them”.

It is very similar to how the child sex rings operate, where they get young children to stay in their “system” by forcing them to commit crimes. Then they use it against the child: “You can’t escape because if you do, you will be arrested. You have committed a felony”.

This is a worldwide global network of uber wealthy globalists whose hands are in the governments of most countries, as well as media, Hollywood, and pedophilia and sex slave areas.

Going on TV to whine about themselves is one piece of a very large, EVIL, worldwide operation.

She lied about being a Native American and got all kinds of freebies and advancement from the lie. And not one republican will stand up and call her a liar. Except Trump.

Once again (boy, does it EVER get tiring for them?), the (R)NC show themselves to ONLY worry about their power and prestige...not the Truth, the Republic nor the People.

I sense there is a corruption at levels we cannot yet imagine.

You got that right!

Trump needs to get some Native Americans on stage with him and let them blast the fake Indian Warren.

What a Crock! Trump has been calling her this for some time and now it is offensive. Extensive research has been done by a Native American Group and they find no evidence of any Indian Heritage in her background at all and yet she gets a pass on this.

She should be ridiculed and shamed by this and I guess only Trump will do it.

Am surprised the RNC & associates find the time to take a break from sucking Obama’s dick, to attack the Republican leading candidate.

Great election....leading Repub candidate attacked by the DNC and RNC.

Total corruption on the part of the RNC (and biz as usual for the DNC).

Squirming...

It’s the ONE thing the GOP is good at.

Cowards. They can’t stand the idea of fighting back.
