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.”

Man, Sarah is so good. Ashamed t have said so many rough things over the years about her dad. He made her, he’s redeeemed himself.

I went to the link but I admit to ending up really disappointed that she didn’t actually set the room on literal fire. ;)

“...really disappointed that she didn’t actually set the room on literal fire.”

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

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

Perfect.

Can you imagine a Bush spokespeep dropping a truth bomb like that? Me neither.

She KO’ed them with that response, there was nothing they could say back. A great example of non-strategic thinking on the media’s part, surely they know that Warren lied. Are they really too stupid to think that wouldn’t be Sarah’s answer? Must be horrible chess players, not playing forward by anticipating countermoves.

In our family we have always claimed with pride, tribal heritage; in the older ones there are traces in their faces, and we can point to the ancestor where it entered the family a few generations back. But there isn’t enough left in our blood to show up in the Ancestry DNA test, and having blue eyes and freckles, it would never occur to us to claim we had been damaged by racial discrimination, which is what you do when you ask for an Affirmative Action preference.

Warren has her entire life claimed to be victim of racial discrimination based on a heritage that isn’t enough to keep her blue eyes from being blue. The Pocahontas jibe isn’t a racial slur, it is a reminder that she is a liar and an opportunist.

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. Only in the world of the Media Party would this constitute racism.

People should take the time to watch the press briefings on the WH youtube channel.

The first time she answered was 5:50 in the video. Another feral reporter was dumb enough to bring it up again, she answered the same way.

The media pretends that Warren didn’t really lie, because pointing it out would inconvenience the Party. To bring it up at all would be rude and uncouth. That’s why they are constantly shocked by this administration’s use of politically incorrect truth as a weapon. The other Republicans were always too well trained to behave like this!

“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.”

Trump should stop calling her Pocahontas.
He should start calling her Gray Beaver.
That would REALLY fire up the room!

Maybe the group sent someone to talk to President Trump in private to please call out Sen. Warren for her lies.

You must not remember Tony Snow and the "tar baby" comment. And that was his first day on the job!
