At a White House event
specifically honoring the World War II Navajo Code Talkers, President Trump
couldn’t resist getting in a zinger slamming Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
“I just want to thank
you because you’re very, very special people. 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.’”
During the volatile
2016 presidential campaign, Warren took to social media to mock and needle
Trump, calling him everything from a “loser” to a xenophobic “bully.”
In response, Trump quickly seized upon Warren’s claims of Cherokee and Delaware
Indian ancestry, coining the belittling
nickname — “Pocahontas.”
The clearly chafed Warren
said, “This was supposed to be a ceremony honoring war heroes. All he had to do
was smile and thank them for their incredible service. But he couldn’t make it
through the ceremony without throwing in a racial slur. Donald Trump does this
over and over thinking somehow he is gonna shut me up with this. It hadn’t
worked in the past, it is not gonna work in the future.”
The left is aghast─most
notably CNN’s Jim Acosta.
Trump, at event with Navajo Code Talkers at WH, makes "Pocahontas" crack about Senator Warren. There was silence in the room. Per pool.— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) November 27, 2017
Rather than acknowledge Warren lied about her heritage and benefited from those lies, Acosta is claiming Trump is making a racial slur? Huh? https://t.co/v09dzNOJ74— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) November 27, 2017
Anybody scalping tickets
to the grudge match?
