Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) told MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Monday that President Donald Trump will not silence her by using a "racial slur" like "Pocahontas." Trump hosted an event at the White House to honor Navajo code talkers, where he referenced Pocahontas, a nickname he has used in the past to refer to Warren. Velshi played a clip of Trump's comments and then asked if she would like to respond. "I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here," Trump said. "Although, we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago; they call her Pocahontas." "This was supposed to be an event to honor heroes," Warren said in response. "People who put it all on the line for our country, and people who, because of their incredible work, saved the lives of countless Americans and our allies." "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 a racial slur," Warren continued. "Donald Trump does this over and over thinking somehow he's going to shut me up with it. It hadn't worked in the past. It is not going to work in the future." Trump has said he calls Warren "Pocahontas" in reference to her unsubstantiated claim to Cherokee heritage. Warren's 2012 Senate opponent, Scott Brown, criticized her for claiming Cherokee heritage on applications in order to gain an academic advantage.

Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that what the American people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career.

So what's more racist? Pretending to be of a heritage that you most certainly are not for the sole purpose of personal gain, or calling someone out for said deceit? Hmmm, that's a tuffy...

Silence Her? All she does is spout typical leftist BS anyway. No big loss there. | |||

It was. That’s the part that Trump has screwed up with her. He missed the joke somewhere along the line and it’s not nearly as funny. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Au contraire, mes amis. Pocahontas is far, far the funnier, and was the original line. Don and I agree on this. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Funny how the libs and the media (one and the same) have conveniently forgotten that but now they're OUTRAGED that Trump called her Pocahontas. Strange world. | |||

I don't consider it racist. I wouldn't mind if Trump hadn't interjected it into the ceremony though. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

She's planning on running in 2020 and this is a big liability. She's trying to make it a taboo subject by calling it a racial slur so it can't be used against her when she runs. Nice try but it's not going to work. | |||
