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.

And the news media wonders why their ratings are at an all time low with the American public.
They live in a bubble that doesn't even intersect with reality or common knowledge.
I prefer the term "degenerate communist scumbags".
“an arcane rule”?
CNN just can’t help themselves.
Monsters!
I’m probably about 1/5th actual native American, but I’ve never tried to use that ancestry for any sort of personal benefit.
I don’t know how Elizabeth Warren can show her face in public after lying about her ancestry the way she has.
Lizzie “Lizard” Lieawatha speak with forked Tongue.
Could you imagine being locked in a Cell between Lizzy and Hillary?
Their Voices alone would do more damage to the Brain than a Skull full of pregnant Earwigs. (for all you Night Gallery / Lawrence Harvey Fans)
That's good. I hadn't heard it before.
Hahaha.
So true.
Very good.
Winning some more.
But, Trump is wrong. I will never tire of winning.
The Rule 19 isn’t invoked frequently because most senators are more respectful of the body and its members than that person from MA.
.... I prefer the term Faux-Cahontas.
Mr. President....please call her FAUXcahontas.....or Liarwatha.
What the H is wrong with MA?
Good question......it does elect a Republican Governor when they are really in trouble though.
It is not arcane. Any parliamentarian system based on Robert’sRules of order has a similar rule of personal privilege to stop slander on the floor during debate,
Priebus just loves leaking to CNN.
He should have said faux o hantas
