President Donald Trump revived his derogatory nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Monday, referring to her as "Pocahontas" during an event honoring Native American veterans at the White House.

Trump told the veterans: "You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas."

After making the crack, Trump turned to one of the Navajo code talkers, who served in World War II, and said: "But you know what? I like you. Because you are special. You are special people, you are really incredible people."

He spoke under the watchful eye of a portrait of President Andrew Jackson, known for his forceful removals of Native Americans from their ancestral lands.

Moments later, Warren fired back.

"Donald Trump does this over and over thinking somehow he's going to shut me up with it," Warren said on MSNBC.

"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," she added.

I just see the name- calling thing as not very presidential- a sign of insecurity- though Trump supporters lick it up. The occasion also had nothing to do with Warren.

"Presidential" behavior is a myth that needs to die, our public servants are not gods, angles or even saints.

Calling a spade a spade is a virtue, as is a sense of humor.

Zippy, you should appropriate some culture and change your name to Chief Long Red Stick.

Pocahontas Warren is a cultural appropriator.

Reminder: Elizabeth Warren's Pow Wow Chow 'Cherokee' recipes were word for word COPIES of famous FRENCH chef's techniques (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2146628/Elizabeth-Warrens-Pow-Wow-Chow-Cherokee-recipes-word-word-COPIES-famous-FRENCH-chefs-techniques.html)

Multi-tasking


Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is yet again in hot water after new allegations have surfaced that she plagiarized her 'Cherokee' recipes in the book Pow Wow Chow from the New York Times and other publications.

Radio talk show host Howie Carr released damning evidence that appears to confirm that Mrs Warren's weren't handed down from generation to generation, they were picked up in the newspaper.

Unpresidential? Hell, I'm more offended by that leech getting a $350,000 job to play dress up. I'm part Iroquois. Give me a $350,000 a year gig and I'll happily let Trump call me Pocahontas.

Much as I hate the anti-hunting message I was exposed as a child and there are some cute scenes with the animals.

Says somebody who gets his rocks off by being publicly humiliated on this very forum. I think there might be some money involved which would explain the mods tolerance. Makes me wonder how much? :confused:
