When the title said a native American was worried, I thought they were going quote Elizabeth “Fetchum Free Grant Money” Warren, herself.

He is making fun of Warren falsely claiming Indian heritage.
If they want to be upset with someone, it should be Warren.

We are so far gone in this country....

WARREN is a FRAUD; thus the terminology.

It those who falsely claim to be American Indians — such as Elizabeth Warren, “Princess Spreading Bull,” and Ward Churchill, whom the Indians derisively call “Walking Eagle” because he’s so full of s*** he can’t fly — who are being disrespectful.

So let me get this straight: they are worried that Trump is making fun of the woman who committed fraud in THEIR name, and in the process took the spot of a real Indian at Harvard? But they care more about what Trump said vs what she DID? Yeah, right, very believable! Nice try NYT, you grey whore you!

For many, his mention of the historical figure is offensive and a sign that Mr. Trump, who has been accused of being anti-immigrant, also has problems with the people who first inhabited the country.

Seriously? I think the NY Slimes is projecting.

Trump is mocking Warren's previous attempt to claim Native American heritage, in order to get special treatment.

True Native Americans should be offended by Warren's actions, not Trump's mocking of her.

Of course, it's possible that some don't know what Warren did, and the NY Slimes aren't bothering to explain it.

That’s what seems to drive a large number of Americans these days.

Silly damn nonsense.

I do not believe that about the Navaho,the Dine. They, of Code Talker fame, are too smart. They were so smart that their women would not sleep with Coronado’s men, thus their beautiful black,black hair.

but they aren’t worried that elizabeth warren stole their identity and used it to better her life and, in effect, denied at least one of them a chance to better his or her own life?

I’m a card carrying American Indian and I don’t give a damn if he calls her pocahantus, fauxahauntus, or fraud.

It is only this NYT lame brain yellow press peddler who is upset. Simply yelling fire in a crowded theatre.

I'm Cherokee and I find it offensive.

In that a liberal white woman can get away with the lie that she is a NA and profited from it. Not to mention she probably kept a real Native American from getting the job.

So more power to Trump.

Does that make her a member of the Fukawie Tribe?

So a WASPy woman who is white as a sheet calling herself a Native American to get Affirmative Action benefits that should have gone to a real Native American didn’t worry the NYT. But Trump calling her out on it by calling her Pocahotas does. Welcome to the screwed up world of the Liberal Protection Racket known as the New York Times.

Only the NYT is concerned, therefore so should you. Or so they hope. The NYT, not even worthy as a bird cage liner.
