Nice try but it's not going to work.
If she runs, she'll get beat by Bernie anyways. Lol

Il CattivoI was going to say - is anyone actually bothered enough by what Fauxahontas says to try to shut her up? Let her rant.

The panel mentioned that on Special Report tonight, and it puzzled me too until I just read this:
Trump’s reference — unrelated to the ceremony and widely considered an offensive racial slur — seemed to catch the code talkers off-guard, prompting polite smiles and silence. The scene played out in front of a portrait of former president Andrew Jackson, who signed into law the Indian Removal Act. Complete article:

BOOM! That hits it right in the spot.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Well, if we get into how the US government has dealt with Indians throughout its history, there is no reason to single out Jackson. The whole thing was sordid in the extreme.
This Code Talker idea was brilliantly conceived and carried out.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Although perhaps less organized than the Navajo/WW2 efforts, using Indian native languages as codes was also done in WW1 with (I believe) the Muscogee Creek and the Choctaw among others.

IcabodThe President was saying "Fauxchahontas" during the campaign. Did the democrats change it to Pocahontas and cry .racist?"

“Fauxchahontas” isn’t Presidential.

46and2It's one of the best and most accurate slurs ever created and uttered, and suits her perfectly. She earned that unique and nearly self explanatory title for perpetuity.
I hope it makes it onto her gravestone one day. She's certainly earned it.

tatortoddThe two best names I've heard for Warren are Liawatha and Fauxchahontas. I use them interchangeably

DoubleAdobeWhat is in play here as well, as anyone living around the Navajo Nation knows, is that it is a monolithic voting block for the Democrats.
While I didn't particularly think Trump should have gone so far afield to make the reference, however, all the feigned butthurt is purely partisan politics.
I suspect if you could talk to the Code Talkers privately, they would be quite amused by the whole thing.
As in not offended.

The people of Massachusetts know this, and elected her anyway.

Ms. Huckabee Sanders is the real deal. I like her moxie.

olfuzzyDescendant Of Pocahontas Not Offended By Trump:
It turns out that an actual descendant of Pocahontas does not take any offense to President Donald Trump jokingly referring to Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”
In a September interview with Sky News, Debbie “White Dove” Porreco said that Trump once asked her if it offended her that he used the name “Pocahontas” to refer to the Democratic senator.
“I know that he uses ‘Pocahontas’ sometimes with Elizabeth Warren,” Porreco explained. “He said, ‘well does that offend you when I use that?’ And I told him no, it doesn’t offend me.”
“If Pocahontas were alive today, she would be very proud of President Trump,” Porreco said. “Just like Pocahontas was a heroine, Donald Trump is going to be our hero.”

MaSigchistI call her "Spitting Bull".
$425,000 a year for a no-show job at Harvard, and she complains about student loans. She also claims to be a lawyer but is NOT a current member of the Bar in Mass.

Ooof, that's got to sting the wacky liberal narrative and Warren herself.
