Warren tears into Trump for 'Pocahontas' crack at event honoring Native Americans
The Hill ^ | November 27, 2017 | Elliot Smilowitz

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) railed against President Trump for using a "racial slur" after he cracked a "Pocahontas" joke during a Monday event with Native American veterans.

"It is deeply unfortunate that the president of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur," Warren said in an interview on MSNBC after Trump referred to her as "Pocahontas" at an event honoring Navaho "code talkers" who served in World War II.

Warren in her response said Trump's joke will not stop her from continuing to criticize him.

"Look, Donald Trump does this over and over thinking somehow he's going to shut me up with it," she said. "It hadn't worked in the past. It is not going to work in the future."

Did you, or did you not, lie about having Cherokee blood in order to cheat your way into Harvard Law School, Fuaxahontas?

President Trump is not the one who falsely claimed to be an Indian.

That's great news. Keep talking, squaw.

TRUMP SHOULD HAVE USED THE TERM "FAUXCAHONTAS" INSTEAD, that would be the truth.

It isn’t a racial slur.

It is an insult to her based on her false claims.

That is obvious.

He has you pegged, Princess Grey Beaver. He knows you're too stupid to shut up about it. He's counting on you not shutting up about it.

You're playing into his hands, like the dim bulb you are.

No, Ms. Warren, he doesn’t think he’s shutting you up about your lying misappropriation of Cherokee heritage for financial gain. I’d say it’s quite advantageous for you to continue prattling on about it, trying to paint “Pocahontas” as a slur. You should hear what actual indians call fakers such as yourself. “Pocahontas” is quite mild.

They call her Walking Eagle. Because she is too full of sh*t to fly.

Maybe she should be offended by someone pretending to be a Native American for her own gain?

Isn't it "“Fauxcahontas” because she lied about being Native American."?

I have a Rutgers degree like Fauxcahontas, but unlike Fauxcahontas I can prove I have Native American DNA.

I was never offered $350K by Harvard to teach one course. One reason could be that I never checked the "Native American" box on a job application.
