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."

Republicans are always squirming. They’re worms and it’s their only means of locomotion.

Mitt Romney is the epitome of what is wrong with the Republican party. Get lost Mitt.

As a legitimate descendent, your wife is entitled to membership in some of the finest hereditary societities in America, committed to patriotism and historic preservation. She should be honored. And there are many who are descendants of this fine Native America woman...but not all can prove it. Clearly, because Warren cannot prove her ancestry in this age of lenient internet genealogy, she should give up the claim.

They are the propaganda wing of the the domestic communist party and as such are valid targets themselves.

They understand fully that Trump will deal with them like Putin deals with the press in Russia.

Calling warren Pocahontas is disrespectful of the real Pocahontas. Trump should use a name that follows the same general idea but is more exact, such as Princes Running Mouth, Dances with Felons or Flips Houses by Moonlight.

How about they were immigrants from Asia many moons ago. You know, when the Aleutians were NOT under water and they could walk across and not encounter the CBP. :)

It could be much worse.

I was a kid in the late 50s or early 60s when I heard this explanation:

-An Indian chief and his son are sitting down one day, and the son asks: “Dad, how do us Indians get our names?”

“It’s very simple,” replies the chief, “your brother was born by a river, so we call him Running Brook. Your other brother was born in the early morning, so we call him Rising Sun.”

“So, why do you ask, Broken Rubber?”

Idiots.

Pocahontas is perfect to call her.

She said she was an Indian. Harvard and herself presented her as an example of a Native American and minority in academia.

It was a total fabrication.

She deserves ZERO serious response or discussion about anything on any topic.

You lose Sacajawea.

Judge is tied to La Raza and is doing this for political reasons, and Warren lied about being Native Americans. Too bad for them
