GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (d-ma) as "Pocahontas" in an interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, she wrote in a piece published Saturday.

Trump told Dowd that he had not been asked by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) in his meeting with him last week to tone down his rhetoric directed at women.

Dowd also asked him if he had been criticized by Republicans for his Twitter feud with Warren.

"You mean Pocahontas?” Trump shot back.

Trump and Warren have engaged in a long battle on Twitter, trading barbs over his rhetoric toward women and her Native American heritage.

Oh, my gosh. What a rube. It’s Fauxcohantas. The learning curve is steep with this one. P<> Want to bet he DID say it...and Hillary agent Dowd used the normal name? The real question is why was he giving this leftist bitch the time of day.

[Ouderkirk]

I’d bet it was Faux-cahontas, and Dowd changed it...she’s a leftard and can’t be trusted.

“They want women to share bathrooms, showers & foxholes with men, they want women in charge of our nuclear missiles, but must be protected from words?”

That question needs to be asked every week on the Sunday morning programs.

[yoe]

Warren is another socialist, an American Constitutional Dropout....in favor of Marxist ideology. The Democrat Party is in total collapse for Communism...Clinton, who doesn't admit it and Warren & Sanders who do.

THE ONLY AMERICAN RUNNING FOR POTUS:

Excellent observation.

[sima_yi]

[Huskrrrr]

Trump vs. Dowd. This should be a WWF event.

[MamaB]

I noticed that, too.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Look, folks....any time that Donald J. Trump attacks someone....thy have struck him first!!! It’s a “New York” thing, which I love because I was born and raised In New York City.

[Artcore]

Oh, my gosh. What a rube. It’s Fauxcohantas. The learning curve is steep with this one.

Sorry to disappoint you two, but when my wife and I read Trump’s comments to Dowd, our first response was to laugh. We got it, just like everyone else reading it got it.

This is all you two have...really?

But, Iron Eyes Cody, born Espera Oscar de Corti, was such a great fake!

[TexasCruzin]

Faux-Cahontas would make zero sense to 99% of readers. Pocahontas does make sense.

The mantra fro women on the left is the same mantra from black racists: We can launch every hand grenade against you, but if you fight back you are anti-woman/racist/hater/extremist.

[Rusty0604]

Haha good name for her.

[BigEdLB]

Senator Warren's spokesman comments on the VP rumors.

[Gay State Conservative]

Calling her Pocahantas? Very unwise.Calling her an affirmative action fraud and phony? You betcha!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Hoping as well but this is a key area-women-where I think his candidacy may be a disaster in a general nationwide election.

I'd rather he keep smashing these people right in the face - every time. If he remains consistent in his ridicule of ridiculous people and still loses, there is no hope for America, anyway.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I suspect maybe he said Faux-ca-hontas and she just didn’t catch it. It might translate better in print than verbally.
