Trump to Dems: 'Pocahontas is now the face of your party'

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump taunted Democrats by telling them "Pocahontas is now the face of your party" -- his insult of choice for Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- during a meeting with senators earlier this week, sources told CNN.

The President also used the Thursday meeting at the White House to again surface unfounded claims of voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election.

The sources said the Warren moment came up in the context of the Trump's impromptu analysis of the state of the Democratic Party. Trump made his comments in what appeared to be a reference to Warren's criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation process. Her comments prompted Republicans to invoke an arcane rule to cut her off.

The moment galvanized Democrats and has elevated Warren's standing among progressives. Trump used his pejorative campaign nickname for Warren -- a reference to her claims of having Native American ancestry -- several times during the meeting, which one source described as "equal parts bizarre and completely awkward."

At one point, Trump said the only reason Warren claimed Native American heritage was "because she has high cheekbones," one of the sources said.

Oh...the mysterious, shadowy “anonymous sources” again....

No, “progressive” is an accurate descriptor of the Left/Democrat Party ... as in “cancer is a ‘progressive’ disease”.

He needs to get with the program on Warren nicknames it’s actually “ Fauqxcohontas”

It's an inside joke most wouldn't understand and he doesn't want to explain. Pocahontas works just fine.

[Drew68]

The moment galvanized Democrats and has elevated Warren's standing among progressives.

Trump is going to force the Dems to the far left, ensuring they'll never get a blue-collar white vote again.

LOL, I love it when President Trump zings fools like Lieawatha! He didn’t call her Fauxahontas for a reason. He wanted people who didn’t know about Nasty Woman’s fraud re: being Native American to say “Why did he call her that?” Good way to casually put forth what a lying sack of sh** she is. LMAO!!!

Following her trial, conviction and sentence, Traitorwatha should be a hanging symbol of the Demonicrat party.

Awesome job! Hilarious!

I agree - Pocahontas is my traceable ancestress and her name is not a joke — I would prefer you use Fauxcohontas or something similar

Folks are fair in Harvard Square,
For justice they are yearnin’.

If you say you're Cher-o-kee (If you say you're Cher-o-kee) !

Yes it’s true, my eyes are blue
My face is pale as plaster.
But Crimson craves di-vers-i-tee,
So I said I’m Cher-o-kee! (So I said I’m Cher-o-kee) !

Ya' don’t have to know how to skin a doe,
How to track, or hunt, or shoot a bow.
Ya' don’t have to prove any pedigree
Ya' just check Indian in the reg-is-try.
That is real di-vers-ity (That is real di-vers-ity) !

To help my cousin’s cook book
She entitled "Pow-Wow Chow"
I plagiarized an omelet recipe
It was published anyhow (It was published anyhow) !

It’s true my great-great-great-grandpa
Drove redskins outta’ Georgia.
But there’s no trail of tears for me –
Claimin’ I’m-a Cher-o-kee! (Claimin’ I’m-a Cher-o-kee) !
