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."

A lot of these politicians are for open borders because they have illegal alien maids. I would be willing to bet money on it

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

I am beginning to put some of blame for the Trump protesters on Romney and friends.

Romney is too stupid to see how he’s not popular with the media, or respected by them. He just serves their purpose of being a nominal Republican who’s bashing Trump.

The silly twit from OK who said it’s pejorative needs to bone up on what Trump is referring to. It’s obvious he has no idea.

This is basically the usual WP making up news out of thin air.

You’re right. When you READ “Fauxcahontas,” it’s funny. If Trump SAYS “Fauxcahontas,” the media will sneer that he doen’t know how to say “Pocahontas.”

Sarah,

I don’t see them as wimps. They speak and act the way they do because they are NOT on our side. They are Dems who have infiltrated and changed our party. Their true loyalties lay with the Dems because they ARE Dems, wearing Republican masks.

Thanks to DJT, we care not what they say, we watch what they do. And what they do is hook up with their fellow Dems, revealing who they really are.

If DJT makes it to the Presidency, hopefully we will see a Party purging of these globalists. When the shift is complete, it will be a party of Globalists vs. a party of Nationalists.

Trump says things as they are...No “politispeak” from him...These “professional politicians” shiver when they hear the truth...They are realizing that the patriotic working real Americans are seeing them as they really are...Elitists with no concern for we, the people...Only for themselves...

I just recently read some stuff about her. What a brave woman she was and quite advanced and open minded. There are not many around to compare to her.

You are right. Fauxcahontas IS an insult to her.

What a lovely heritage for your wife :)

Okay, you are getting good at this. I had a good laugh at that that one you did yesterday or the day before...

"Pocahontas no like-em Trump ... Long Knife with Custer Hair roar like wounded bear when him speak-em about squaw ... him say squaw look-em like north end of south bound buffalo ... him chap-em ass worse than wet saddle ... him heap bad medicine! "

Man, you gotta start a ping list or something with those!

The real Pocahontas is in Heaven after getting her raccoon from the rainbow bridge. Fauxahontas uses exterminators to kill raccoons. D T should know the difference... ;)

So Hillary has an Ambassador murdered on her watch, loses a State Department staffer and two former Navy SEALs, loses Libya and Iraq to ISIS, loses Yemen, has an illegal personal server where all classified emails were exposed to the country's enemies and our RINO Pussy Representatives and Senators pee in their panties when Trump calls the lying POS Socialist, a la Venezuela, Senator Warren Pocahontas. Really?
