Sarah Sanders Asked If Trump’s Pocahontas Comment Is Offensive. Her Response Set The Room On Fire
dailycaller.com ^ | Benny Johnson

Posted on 11/28/2017 7:03:40 AM PST by RoosterRedux

President Trump referred to Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” at a ceremony honoring Navajo code talkers on Monday. Trump has referred to the senator from Massachusetts often by that name, a reference to Warren’s dodgy history claiming native American heritage.

“I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here,” Trump said. “Although, we have a representative in Congress who has been here a long time, longer than you, they call her Pocahontas!”

Warren responded to the President, saying “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.”

“I’d settle for seeing the Libtards’ hair on fire...”

Maybe all their oily slipperiness would help advance the flames a bit.

IMHO

Sarah could have included in her response to the Fake News reporters: “I find your question offensive and misleading; case closed; next!”

“I think what most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career.”

Absolutely brilliant response.

I wish more Republicans would get on board with the idea that we cannot keep kowtowing to this liberal shaming, and that we have to start fighting back.

She should have dropped the mic and walked out immediately afterwards.

So this involves accusing someone (Trump) of a racial slur concerning another person (Warren) who falsely claimed of being that race when they really were not of that race to begin with.

The one who committed the racist act was Fauxcahontas herself.

People need to remember DC voted 92% for Hillary, and 97% of media donations go to democrats.

DC is a hugely messed up town, the democrat elitists will protect each other.

I don’t give them credit for knowing. They live in an echo chamber. Who among their colleagues would ever bring it up even if they knew the truth?

Sanders sets White House press room on fire with her response of Truth re Pocahontas!

A reporter noted that Sen. Warren had called it a “racial slur.” Sanders said, “That’s ridiculous,” before noting that it is never appropriate for anyone to use a racial slur, and she does not believe Trump’s use of “Pocahontas” was intended for that purpose. Sanders declared, once again forcefully, that Warren was the offensive one, saying, “Senator Warren was very offensive when she lied about some things specifically to advance her career and I don’t understand why no one’s asking about that question and why that isn’t constantly covered.”

Warren claimed she had Native American heritage on her Harvard application. The claim is completely unfounded.

She should have apologized for President Trumps mispronunciation of “Fauxcahontas”. That would have been fun.

Hannity mentioned she got a $400,000/year no show job at a major university based on her American Indian heritage.

Anyone know more about this ?

Bush people were only interested in advancing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

Trump understands that people like Warren NEED to be satirized. The woman should have stayed a “highly respected bankruptcy expert”, but her own greed drove her to soil herself in politics and be unmasked as a self-righteous fraud.
