Trump's 'Pocahontas' attack leaves fellow Republicans squirming (again)

The furor over Trump’s assaults on the impartiality of a Latino judge had just begun to subside when he lobbed two tweets Friday morning responding to Warren, who had lambasted him as a "thin-skinned, racist bully" in a speech the previous evening.

"Pocahontas is at it again!" Trump wrote in one. "Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth."

The response to the Pocahontas remarks have been mixed and in many cases muted - a sign of how jittery GOP leaders are still trying to find their comfort level with his rhetoric.

Romney told CNN on Friday that he was worried Trump's language could lead to "trickle-down racism" in the country.

When asked why he persists in calling Warren "Pocahontas" and what he makes of the alarm it has caused among some Republicans, Trump responded bluntly in a statement Friday: "Because she is a nasty person, a terrible U.S. Senator, and it drives her crazy."

Pocahontas was my wife’s 8th great-grandmother. My wife is not insulted by this - she is insulted by Clinton and Faucahontas.

These “republicans” don’t seem to have a problem when their commie lib pals call Trump a “racist” for wanting to enforce our laws.

Oh come on! What fakers and hypocrites! Nobody is offended by this. For crying out loud she lied about being an Indian. The only thing Trump did wrong was call her Pocahontas instead of Fauxcahontas.

Importing a quater million Muslims per year doesn’t make ‘em squirm.

Having unprotected borders doesn’t make ‘em squirm.

And for good reason — they want those things.

Are they Fing kidding me? The woman is a lying racial opportunist. We are now afraid of offending fake native Americans?

There is something deeply wrong with the GOPe. I sense there is a corruption at levels we cannot yet imagine.

He does to bring attention again and again to her lying about being a native America. Until the MSM demands she recant and Harvard fires her, he will continue to address her as Pocahontas. She is a lair and Mittens is a coward

Leave it up to the rabid liberal Washington Compost to never stop beating a dead horse. These RATS will continue to use their 50 year old playbook by throwing S**t against the wall and hoping something will stick. They have no morals, no class, no anything—these fools continue to happily proclaim their foolishness under the auspices of being called “journalists.” Nonsense.

Warren did not meet either part of the test, and even if she believed her alleged family lore, Warren should have known that she could not show cultural identification. Warren has refused to release her personnel records which would contain the forms she signed. Warren admitted that she did not meet the legal qualifications to be considered a racial minority

Harvard and U. Penn also refuse to release these employment records. As reported by The Boston Globe, Warren’s self-identification as Native American may have caused U. Penn. and Harvard Law Schools to make false federal filings with regard to faculty diversity. Neither organization will release the records

Detailed genealogical investigation by a group of Cherokee genealogists showed that Warren had no Cherokee or other Native American ancestry. The findings are set forth at the blog Thoughts From Polly’s Grandaughter which based the research on over one hundred primary sources,and detailed the findings:

The team and I have done an exhaustive search on the genealogy of Elizabeth Warren. We have researched ALL of her ancestral lines, but have only posted those she claimed were Indian here in the blog. None of her direct line ancestors are ever shown to be anything other than white, dating back to long before the Trail of Tears.

Like I’ve said before, every Trump “gaffe” comes with his pre-packaged vindication.
