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.

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."

I wonder if Matea Gold, Karoun Demirjian and Mike DeBonis realize that licking Hillary's @ss like this #brands them as #Hillary@sslickers?

Or are they too young & stoopid to figure it out?

Does Romney’s statement even make sense?

Romney is making me miss George Bush. At least he went home and shut up.

I hope Trump tells these so-called Republicans to kiss his a@@..so sick of these “Republican” losers who lose election after election after election because they are either to weak to speak their minds or agree with the Democrat platform

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

Yep. Someone needs to get in his ear about that.

Nope. Not as effective. Pocahontas is perfect.

The GOPe is the reason why when they call my house asking for money I tell them in the nicest way possible to shove it..The one thing I can say about the Democrats, they stick together, they may hate each other behind the scenes but they see the big picture..a big OUR side should be seeing, but NO instead they go on TV and give the rat party every single attack ad they could ever imagine because they are wimps

These GOPe Trump critics need to put on a set of stones and get a sense of humor. They need to get over themselves. I think Trump calling Warren Pocahontas is hilarious. Trump has wisely chosen ridicule as one of his weapons. Ridicule has an exceptional winning track record throughout history.

She embodies everything that is wrong with America. She’s a liberal whore, feeding off the tit of our left wing university system. She was nailing down $500,000 for ten hours of work a week, if that. And her husband as well.

They are frauds when they say they are here to protect us.

Warren called Trump a fraud.

A typical shameless dim.

When she pretended to be an Indian so she could get government money to pay her college tuition.

That is really a fraud.

I don’t understand dims. They support a career criminal for president and a nutcase for VP.

Character? Ethics? Class?

Not in my book.
