Bill Maher calls Elizabeth Warren âPocahontasâ during TV interview. Check out her reaction. â TheBlaze
Bill Maher Bill
Well  comedian  Bill Maher  must not have gotten the memo. Or maybe  he  did get it and didnât care.
Speaking to Warren face to face on his HBO program âReal Timeâ that night   Maher  asked  her  why more working-class people still back Trump despite  his  tax plan that  Maher  said favored the wealthy.
âTheyâre still with  him . Theyâre not with you â  Maher  told Warren. âExplain to  me  what that disconnection is.â
 Maher  cut off Warrenâs defense: âWell   his  fans are not with you.â
âHold on â  she  insisted. But  Maher  nudged more: âCome on.â
 Maher  then moved in for the kill: âThey donât like you  Pocahontas.â
 Maher  smiled at Warren and laughed as well  presumably signaling to  her  that  his  jab wasnât an attack.
But Warren â hardly ever at a loss for words â fell silent and needed a few moments as the âPocahontasâ ribbing sank in. Check out  her  face just after:
It seemed as though Warren got the joke soon enough.  She  looked as though  she  was about to smile â
but  she  did not reply to Maherâs joke and instead soldiered on with  her  rhetoric:
âHow can it be racist if  she âs not Native American?â one Twitter user asked.
âDisagree completely. Warren is embellishing (or lying  your pick) Trump is calling  her  on  her  BS #PoliticalCorrectnessSucks â another user said.
CNNâs Jake Tapper offered a quote from a Native American friend of his who said Trump uttering âPocahontasâ is a racial slur â but Tapper added in his follow-up tweet that this same Native American friend noted that the Cherokee Nation âdid a formal review and  she  is not a Cherokee citizen.â
