Warren tears into Trump for 'Pocahontas' crack at event honoring Native Americans

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."

>>Trump is the worlds greatest Troll. :)<<

Astute observation, and although countless supporters don’t realize this, it’s exactly why they love him!


That is my favorite thing about him! And it is not only politically satisfying, but sometimes the responses are hilarious.

My main concern about Trump in 2020 is that people age really fast after 60 on an ever increasing downward slope. At his age, you could wait three years and you would not recognize the man.

But if he holds up, yeah, 2020 here we come!

Trump is having a blast. And based on their enept performance as leaders for decades, I would expect everyone in D.C. to fall dead from dementia before Trump ever hits 75.

Watch closely, Trump is supercharged and people file stress claim just reviewing his schedule. It's clear, none of those lazy corrupt AH's in D.C. are able to keep up with him.☺
