Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) railed against President Trump for using a "racial slur" after he cracked a "Pocahontas" joke during a Monday event with Native American veterans.
"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," Warren said in an interview on MSNBC after Trump referred to her as "Pocahontas" at an event honoring Navaho "code talkers" who served in World War II.

Warren in her response said Trump's joke will not stop her from continuing to criticize him.
"Look, Donald Trump does this over and over thinking somehow he's going to shut me up with it," she said. "It hadn't worked in the past. It is not going to work in the future."

So the name “Pocahantas” is a racial slur.
It never ends with these jackass dipsticks.
Chief Grey Beaver has never been held accountable for SCAMMING INDIAN BENEFITS!!
That IS a crime, you know.
Wouldn't that be a hoot!
He doesn't give a hoot.
Makes her look like a nutcase. She lied for years to advance her career.
Squaw gettum firewood!
I go back and forth, from “Fauxcahontas” to “Lieawatha”. Each name has its charm. Trump should avoid the use of Pocahantas and choose one of the above.
Did Trump get any laughs from the audience?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Exactly. She was a racial slur on the Native Americans while she falsely claimed it was her heritage because of her high cheekbones and her family always telling stories.
Yep. He’s not trying to nurse a political career. This is his “last hurah”, and he’s going out with a bang. I’m not sure he’ll even run for a second term. At his age, health can go downhill pretty quickly. You never know.
This guy became president with NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE!
As Biden would say, that is a big f****** deal.
It is a “racial slur” to be identified as Indian? Saying that would seem to be a racial slur, actually.
King of Trolls.
Same reason Mrs Bill doesn’t get hauled in for questioning and arrest. She is too valuable for her efforts that are discombobulating the Democrat part of the WashingtonDC Party. Because Trump won’t get that monkey off the Progressive back, they are waving pitchforks in Mr Bill’s direction and snarling at the Mrs, too.
She doesn’t know the difference in a racial slur and slam.
So the name Pocahantas is a racial slur.
I expect Disney to change the name of their animated movie to (Pretty Caucasian looking native american girl saves bumbling white guys a$$es as they explore the uncharted western frontier)
The best part of all this is when Sarah Sanders called her a liar at today’s WH presser!
The video at this link doesn't really tell much because it is focussed on the stage and it didn't pick up the audience...the fellows on stage didn't let on that they even know what POTUS was talking about.... http://www.sfgate.com/news/politics/article/Trump-hits-Warren-with-Pocahontas-jab-at-event-12386698.php#photo-14610726
A real Indian (Asian Indian) is running against Gray Beaver, and has asked Gray Beaver to take a DNA test. We are still waiting for this privileged white skank whoidentifies as an Indian to take the test.
