The young lady asked a valid question.

Biden is a buffoon.

But...did she lie about attending a caucus?

Biden's a crotchety old man with a bad temper and a sense of entitlement...

VOX is a bottom feeder—even in the Mariana Trench ecosystem of mass media lies.

Yes but at least Huffington Post gives one half truths. Vox out and out makes shite up.

“Thing is: He called her that.”

And she had zero ability to know he was quoting from a 70-year-old Western movie, so she took it absolutely literally.

Imagine him sitting at the table in touchy international situation...THAT’s scary!

Why were they traitors? Many of the different Indian tribes hated each other.

Why would he even quote that in response to a civil question by one of his supporters?

Biden’s line sounds like it came from Wayne's “Hondo” western with Ward Bond. “Pony soldier” was referenced in the movie but I can't remember if Biden’s phrase was used intact.

Good movie though.

Indians were fighting other Indians long before any Europeans set foot in North America. How did the Aztecs and Incas create their empires? During the Indian Wars of the 19th century, there were always some Indians on the side of the US Army (the battle of the Little Big Horn is a case in point).

When Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark on their voyage of discovery, they were supposed to encourage the Indians they encountered to live at peace with other tribes. This was a foreign concept to them. Their attitude was that if they didn't fight wars, they wouldn't know who to pick as their chiefs.

Yeah so when the scouts or “pony solder” Indians were tracking them, I am sure the Apaches on the run were understanding of this history.

LOL.

Look, I was just explaining the term, since nobody else seems to know what Joe was talking about.

I am not saying all Indians were otherwise perfect.

There were some good ones and some bad ones, just like any other people.

But from the Indian standpoint, Indians who were helping ‘white-eyes’ were not held in high esteem and I think that is understandable.

Note that I said my wife is Apache. I think that rules out Mayan, Inca’s or Aztec client tribes helping Cortez for example.
