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.”

This was hilarious. He said something along the lines of, you’ve been here longer than any of us; although I hear there was someone they say was here longer (which is obviously not true but it it puts her out to be an outlandish liar (big bold lies), and they call her, Pocahontas. Funny stuff

Senator Warren could put this whole thing to rest by sharing her Ancestry.com results.

Waiting...

Also they kept calling it a “racial” slur. I wanted Sarah to say “Which person in particular was having their race slurred?”

Pocahontas? Yawn. I prefer ‘Gray Beaver’.

Are you implying you have intimate knowledge of Gray Beaver?

The only shtick the left knows is to change the narrative to “racist” whenever they’re called on their lies.

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

I heard back when she first ran for Senate that Harvard University Law School paid her $350,000 a year to teach one course. They listed her Cherokee among the faculty. Then when she got tenure, she dropped the reference to her "Cherokee heritage."

Yes, she was spot on about this. Media just can’t handle it.

The Left never misses a chance to take a jab at Trump, so they have no business being hypersensitive about everything Trump says.

Still the Left hasn’t learned - Trump drops these firecrackers knowing exactly the response he is going to get.

Watching Warren shake, and her voice vibrate while she responds is all worth it. Also, regardless of what you think about Trump, Warren will never be able to shake her asinine claim that she is Cherokee to game racial preferences at Harvard.

Poor Pocahontas. She has no reservation.

I think that to someone who previously had sex with
Mz.Warren she would be known as the”Pokethathauntsus”.

Boston civil service workers went to jail for lying about minority status, yet Warren gets to teach at Harvard Law.

Absolutely right.

McCain and Romney didn’t have the guts to talk back to them.

Plus these are the truth and they can’t stand it.

If Trump did lie it would be too easy to dismiss.

My wife has a Native American ancestry to the same degree as Warren claims, however she also has DNA evidence to match the family lore. Let Warren show her DNA evidence.
