Trump repeats racial slur for Warren

Source: The Hill

President Trump repeated his use of a racial slur for native Americans when criticizing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in West Virginia Saturday night.

Trump made the remarks at a rally for Senate candidate and state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) in West Virginia. He also used the opportunity to criticize the "Democrat party" as having been radicalized.

"Pocahontas is now considered a conservative in the Democrat party...Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren she's considered like a conservative person," he said. "They've gone crazy. They've gone loco."

Trump has frequently used the term "Pocahontas" as a criticism of Warren to reference to her disputed claims that she is of Native-American descent

The National Congress of American Indians has previously called out Trump for the usage of the term in a statement.

"We honor the contributions of Pocahontas, a hero to her people, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe in Virginia, who reached across uncertain boundaries and brought people together. Once again, we call upon the President to refrain from using her name in a way that denigrates her legacy.”

We should come up with an equally insulting name for them and use it publicly.

There's a racial slur for Native Americans? Are you referring to the "Pocahontas" name he calls Warren?

He's playing to the slackjawed hillbillies at his West Virginia rally who still think coal is coming back.

and FYI... Senator Manchin is currently polling a +9.3 spread.

Senator Warren is a whopping +26.

Here in Virginia, Senator Kaine is +18.5.

The Blue Wave is coming.

Another guy interrupted and said, 'Not crack. Lots of crap' Its a trump rally.'

He's a racist, He hates women, and he's scared to death of Senator Warren and he does this to try an get into words on what he wants and not policies, or ethics , or morals. He'll start doing the same thing to Kamala Harris too.

If he thinks he's going to engage Kamala Harris.

And does he really think the graphic of his attacking Black women is making him look anything other than the racist bastard he is ?
