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."

Some of the previous posts on this thread are funny but yours is absolutely HILARIOUS. For sure the best laugh line of the day.
>>Trump is the worlds greatest Troll. :)<<
Astute observation, and although countless supporters don’t realize this, it’s exactly why they love him!
>>Chief Grey Beaver has never been held accountable for SCAMMING INDIAN BENEFITS!!<<
I wonder, is it too late for some legal organization to file a class-action lawsuit against her for fraudulently taking a benefit that was established specifically for Native Americans?
Fake squaw heap big mad. Fake squaw make’em big noise. Fake squaw need’em to bring me a sammich.
Trump wins in 2020 by a blowout. I’m taking bets.
Her alleged high cheekbones are showing.

“Sinking Fish” would also be appropriate.
Trump is never going to change his style. Why should he? He won. Making nice and engaging in strategic doublethink has gotten us absolutely nowhere. I’m glad he calls out these frauds.
She’s a walking/talking/breathing racial slur.
LIEAWATHA speaks again.
On his talk show today, Michael Medved also ripped into Trump for using this “racial slur” and admonished him to treat Elizabeth Warren with respect.
Great point. For years and years it’s been the Democrats launching one haymaker after another on our side without a response. Now that we have someone returning fire we have people getting squeamish about it. This is what winning and fighting back against the left looks like. It’s not gonna be a spirited back and forth debate. It’s gonna be a full fledged street fight! Get used to it if we want to beat back the left.
Here’s how president Trump should have put it. You gentlemen who served your country so honorably in combat deserve every Accolade and recognition for your service. You sacrificed so much and stood so strong at a time when the situation was very grim. You have earned every honor that we can bestow upon you now. As you know there are certain people in our society who try to claim the honor of being Combat Warrior veterans themselves, when they are not. There’s are the cases of Stolen Valor. And very similar to this sort of despicable and immoral thievery of Honor that does not belong to them, we have another set of people who actually claim to be Native Americans, such as yourself, but whom really are not. They are posers and fakes using their claims of being Native Americans for the sake of gaining advantages at colleges, universities , and who use their faults claims to get into elected office. I think you know of some such cases. These are the most dishonorable of people within our society.
Forget the Pocahontas thing. It sold already. Speak smarter. Go for the kill
Please Elizabeth.....how about a DNA test?
To amplify your point, an excerpt from The Harvard Crimson's story "Survey: Diversity Lacking At HLS," published on 22 October 1996:
Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American and one is Hispanic, said Mike Chmura, spokesperson for the Law School.
Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American.
In response to criticism of the current administration, Chmura pointed to "good progress in recent years."
According to Chmura, of the 21 professors appointed since 1989, 10 were women or minorities. In addition, all three of last year's appointees were women.
The demands for women of color on the faculty may be satisfied if noted black legal scholar and University of Pennsylvania professor C. Lani Guinier '71 accepts her outstanding offer from the Law School, Friedman said.
But critics of hiring procedures have come from both ends of the political spectrum.
"We have a major problem with ideological diversity," said secondyear law student Dan Schorr, president of the Harvard Law School Republicans.
According to Schorr, the Law School has not hired an openly Republican professor in 20 years
