Trump to Dems: 'Pocahontas is now the face of your party'

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump taunted Democrats by telling them "Pocahontas is now the face of your party" -- his insult of choice for Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- during a meeting with senators earlier this week, sources told CNN.
The President also used the Thursday meeting at the White House to again surface unfounded claims of voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election.
The sources said the Warren moment came up in the context of the Trump's impromptu analysis of the state of the Democratic Party. Trump made his comments in what appeared to be a reference to Warren's criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation process. Her comments prompted Republicans to invoke an arcane rule to cut her off.
The moment galvanized Democrats and has elevated Warren's standing among progressives. Trump used his pejorative campaign nickname for Warren -- a reference to her claims of having Native American ancestry -- several times during the meeting, which one source described as "equal parts bizarre and completely awkward."
At one point, Trump said the only reason Warren claimed Native American heritage was "because she has high cheekbones," one of the sources said.

I love this guy.
Someone on these threads referred to her as ‘Crazy Horse’ or ‘Crazy Whorse’. Those are mighty good names for Warren as well.
Hope it catches on.
Telling it like it is!
He needs to get with the program on Warren nicknames it’s actually “ Fauxcohontas”
Pocahanuts is not an insult. Warren pretending to be an injun squaw is however an insult to
Pocahantus. Better: Fuardahauntus.
In addition to Lieawatha, I’ve been suggesting Crockajawea.

Arcane? Fake news. Anyone who follows civics knows this is why Senators are always referring to “my good friend from the state of Maryland,” rather than “Senator Whatshisname,” or, worse still, “that jerk.”
To refer to actual names or worse still derogatory labels violates Senate rules dating back to at least the Civil War. Rule 19 denunciation of Sen Pocahontas was not arcane, but fully anticipated.
Moar #FakeNews from #FakeStreamMedia spokesholes like CNN’s Chrissy “Cry Like A Little Girl” Cuomo.
or Little Liawatha.
On another thread she was called Chief $hitting Bull and Chief $hitting Cow.
Save for later
Fuaxohontas, not Pocahontas.
It’s very politically smart I think to try like this to “cement” the D’s with their lying fake injun squaw. A 4th D habitual liar candidate in a row — wow! Go Trump!
Lieawatha had better hope she didn’t use Native American status to get benefits.
The AG has authority to all documents.
Ping.
“Fauxcohantus” would be better.
