Trump: I'll Keep Calling Elizabeth Warren 'Pocahontas,' 'That Name is Too Good to Give Up'

Source: Mediate


by Ken Meyer | Nov 5th, 2018, 4:08 pm

During his Monday pre-midterms rally in Cleveland, Ohio, President Donald Trump told the crowd he intends to keep using his racially-charged, disparaging nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

As the president went through a litany of his greatest hits before the crowd, he eventually revived his “Pocahontas” jab at Warren for her controversial claims of having Native American ancestry. Trump bragged about supposedly being right that Warren has “no Indian blood,” but said he’ll retain the nickname for her because “that name is too good to give up.”










Warren’s heritage claims were given renewed attention last month when she publicly released a DNA test that she held up as proof of her Native ancestry. However, Warren’s endeavor met with considerable scrutiny for a number of reasons, so Trump seized on that in recent weeks in order to slam her.

Name-calling is cute the first time you hear it.

It grows old REALLY, REALLY fast for most people. The fact he uses a worn-out insult that's way past its prime shows how devoid he is of new, creative ideas.

Now, after running the phrase into the ground, using the term doesn't insult Warren. But it shows A LOT about how tired the Trump act is getting. The road show is way past its prime and needs to be cancelled.

Then again, after November 6th comes November 7th. The day Robert Mueller can no longer be accused of influencing an election. That's a Trump Show I'll tune in to watch.

Yes, it has grown really old - but of course the idiots at the rallies love it - but they've grown old too. And of course, it continues to show his total lack of class - gold toilets just don't make it all right.
The best part - watch out for Mueller on November 7 - it's crunch time! We'll all be watching.

calling him MUSHROOM, or 'SHRUM for short. That would be very short, wouldn't it?

Anyway, give him a verbal kick where it grieves him the most and bothers him no end...

What tRump or most blowhard republicans say every five minutes might be news, but it's not news to a whole lot of us. It's just propaganda dumpster fire BS. I'd just as soon have LBN for what a democrat has to say, any democrat, saying anything. Or better still, news of tRump or GOP members getting thrown in jail. You could put that under happy ending stories.

That, to me, would be newsworthy and not a dumpster fire.

Why do the Republicans (Trump, Haley, others) say that Sen. Warren does not have "Indian blood" when a DNA test established that she is at least 1/1024 (that means at least as recent as ten generations) Indian.

Please someone explain why the Republicans, being presented with proof, would lie about it.

really go in for making up nicknames for each other, so that they take banter for cattiness. Be warmed, blokes, if you haven't noticed !

It's a great shame here, as Pocohontas is rather a beautiful name - or nickname for that matter. I'd love it if I were Elizabeth. Some of your American place names of, I believe, native American origin, are stunningly beautiful, aren't they ?
