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.”

They (the media) are not used to someone fighting back.

It always used to be a punching bag in front of them, that would apologize every time it was hit.

I got a lot of crap here when I posted how Jeff Kuhner confronted her and got her on the defensive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Q4QLGxx1A

If dirt is found within the CFPB and she's involved, how can this not all add up to more straws on the Camels back? IMHO is PDJT is relentless in pointing out the fakers and frauds, with that said, is he also piling on as to support her opponent on the "R" side of the ticket in 18'?

Believe people, Scott Brown Won, why can't an "R" challenger in 18'? She is all noise, an empty barrel, she will be found out.

Can you imagine President Trump Stumping for a Republican Senatorial Candidate in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts in 18'?

It is possible, believe!

She is a an amazing woman with a quick thinking brain and a spine. Too bad that most Republican politicians these days are lacking both.

I bow to the Master of Distraction.

The dems are so dithered over everything at this point, they can’t mount a defense.

“The Pocahontas jibe isn’t a racial slur, it is a reminder that she is a liar and an opportunist.”

Yep. But it’s OK for the DemonRats to lie about everything...even like military/combat service or taking fire in helicopters. The whole lot are damnable liars worthy of Hellfire.

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


Trump is intentional in bringing up the Pocahontas name right now. He knows what he’s doing. In 2007 she had the idea of the CFPD, which Dodd Frank created in 2010. CFPD is in the news now since Mulvaney has now been charged to see what shenanigans the Leftists have been pulling over there. The CFPD was intentionally put under the Federal Reserve and not Congress so Congress couldn’t cut their funds. Like all departments under Obama, it was weaponized against “We the People”.

Why did you excerpt it? Why not include two more paragraphs, and allow FReepers to be able to read this without loading some video (which I can't watch at work anyway):

Sanders bluntly responded, "I think what most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career."

My father had 1/16 German blood in him and the rest Cherokee. He used to tell me about going into bars and denied drinks because they didn’t serve Indians. I always had people telling me I should apply for benefits because I “was entitled”. I always told them that I was never denied any opportunities so I didn’t feel entitled. Neither did my cousins. So it is insulting to me for Warren to claim Cherokee to further her ambitions.

I never understood how people could take “pride” in their ancestry anyway.
Being born isn’t really an accomplishment.

Let Warren show her DNA evidence.

That, and let her show when and how she suffered discrimination, which is the point of Affirmative Action preferences.

I excerpted because the Daily Caller is not a blog and fair use laws require excerpting.

That wasn't a racial slur, Dear. That was a white man calling a white woman a liar.

Every black eye, every kick in the teeth, every insult and affront this president gives to the enemies of my freedom only makes me appreciate him all the more.

The democrat party, the GOP elites, the totalitarian globalists, the deep state, the EU, big media, big entertainment, big sports and all their sycophants, junkies and groupies have clearly demonstrated that they are committed, visceral enemies of my Creator-endowed rights and freedoms.

Their howls of disdain and plaintive bleatings of opprobrium are music to my ears.
