Sen. Warren Fundraising Off 'Pocahontas' Insult
Elizabeth Warren
President Trump revived his favorite insult for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) during a speech at a Navajo Code Talkers event at the White House Monday. Here's how he brought up the "Pocahontas" insult - context and all.
"I just want to thank you because you're very  very special people " Trump said to his guests. "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 [ Elizabeth Warren ] 'Pocahontas '" he said. "But you know what  I like you because you are special. You are special people. You are really incredible people. And from the heart  from the absolute heart  we appreciate what you've done  how you've done it  the bravery that you displayed  and the love that you have for your country."
The senator was not amused.  Warren  told MSNBC  she  was shocked that the president had used a "racial slur" at a ceremony intended to honor Native American war heroes.
 She  then used the incident to fundraise.

As Katie noted  the press is missing the point. Instead of being outraged over President Trump's insults  why not call out  Sen. Warren  for shamefully faking  her  heritage to game the affirmative action system?
In 2012   Warren  reportedly touted  her  "Native American heritage" ( she 's 1/32nd Cherokee) to convince the Harvard Law School faculty  she 'd increase the school's diversity.  She  has denied those claims  noting that  she  listed  herself  as Native American to meet others like  herself   according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
