President Trump on Sunday night mocked a video of Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) by saying the video would have been a "smash" if she filmed it in "Bighorn or Wounded Knee," a reference to her Native American heritage.
Trump suggested that Warren's husband, who appears in the video, should have worn "full Indian garb."
The president also renewed his use of his racially charged nickname for Warren: Pocahontas.
"If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash!" Trump tweeted.
Trump's tweet refers to the massacre of more than 100 Native American men, women and children by U.S. Calvary troops in the late 19th Century. The massacre has become a symbol of the brutality experienced by Native Americans under European-Americans.
The video is a snippet from an Instagram live video Warren filmed from her kitchen. In it, she casually drinks a beer and introduces her husband.
Trump shortly after the first message posted another tweet referring to the video as a "catastrophe."
Trump earlier this month shared a mock campaign logo for Warren that took aim at her claims to Native American ancestry. The logo read "Warren 1/2020th," a play on "Warren 2020" and the DNA test results released in October that showed Warren had a Native American ancestor several generations ago.
He’s on a roll!
Love to see our President attack our domestic enemies!
Bwaaahhhaaa!! kick her butt.
DJT really has ‘em clutching their pearls tonight. LOL.
Best line in the Elizabeth Warren beer catastrophe is, to her husband, “Thank you for being here. I’m glad you’re here” It’s their house, he’s supposed to be there!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2019
That any men marry and live with these liberal screed spewing hellions amazes me .
Mazie Hirono’s kept man , Leighton Oshima , is another one .
People should set up game cameras near their homes , maybe they would catch them leading their hubbies around on leashes .
All the Sacred Cows are being rounded up for the next public rodeo. Great entertainment!
I think you’ve captured the ‘zeitgeist’ perfectly.
I’ve said this before but I think he accidently made her more well known by talking about her like this. Starting with that awkward moment with the Navajo code talkers. As bad as it is for white people to claim 1/12 ancestry for whatever reason they do, I still can’t help but cringe when he throws it back
This is a total non-sequitur.
Why doesn't The Hill and other media outlets simply report the fact that Warren lied about her heritage and used that lie to enrich herself?
This is why she is being rightfully mocked, and it's about time. None of the lies from the Dems get fact-checked or scrutinized. They can say whatever they want to say with impunity and expect people to simply lap it up.
LOL!
Warren 2020!!!
That was hilarious, I was going to post it myself.
Toughen up.
Sacred cows make the best burgers.
I am missing the “humor” in this. Big Horn and Wounded Knee are horrific events, sad chapters in US history. Her clip is enough on its own without the new references. I think Trump creates cringeworthy risks with comments like this. Unsettling and unnecessary.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
