A giant banner in Haverhill, Massachusetts, comparing Senator Elizabeth Warren to Pocahontas is stirring up plenty of controversy. Neighbors are speaking out, saying they want it gone, but the owner says it’s here to stay. (with video) We spoke with Ricky Early, the man behind this giant banner picturing Sen. Elizabeth Warren wearing a headdress and a phrase reading Pocahontas Must Go, a name some critics have taken to calling her. ... Trump: "It may be Pocahontas, remember that" Warren's claim of Native American heritage was questioned in 2012 during her run for Senate.
Woman: "If you're not an Indian, don't lie about it because it makes the wor;d look bad." Some people we spoke with said the sign is racially insensitive but we spoke with Early and he doesn't agree.
I live in this state, and take my hat off to this guy. I hope his neighbors are pissed. You can guarantee if I made an issue of Obama or Hillary signs, I would get the dustoff with no questions asked.
Just watched the video.
Not obscene.
Not racially insensitive except to social justice warriors and liberals who can’t face the truth, and their opinion isn’t worth the toilet paper it soils.
Hah, and the liberals who complain say a sign isn’t the way to be socially active. Oh, really?
What a bunch of idiots.
Political statements are fine, but even if I agreed, and I do, I’d hate to have it in the neighborhood. Periodic yard signs are great, but a banner on the house?
Lieawatha lied about being an Indian.
She deserves every jab.
Deihl for Senate!
Haverhill (MA) Gazette last Aug:
HAVERHILL — A display of Donald Trump campaign signs at a Kenoza Avenue home so angered a woman walking in Winnekenni Park that she marched right over and began pulling the signs from the ground.
The homeowner, Richard Early III, was inside Saturday when his dogs barked. He looked out to see a woman pulling Trump signs out of his front lawn.
“She was carrying six signs under her arm,” he said.
The woman, Roxette Caba, told The Eagle-Tribune that she removed some of the Trump signs from Early’s front lawn out of a sheer emotional reaction.
“To be honest, I have no preference in a candidate,” Caba said. “I was not fueled politically, but instead emotionally... the way Trump talks about women and people of color. I’m Dominican, and Trump denigrates people of color as lazy. I’m working on my master’s degree and to say the things he says is just ugly.”
Hey lady, step into my yard and steal my property. “Go ahead, make my day!”
Freedom of speech. In this case, political speech.
The woman is a total FRAUD! She should be run out of town on a pony.
I saw 2 signs for Hillary even past the election, evidently from supporters who still held up hope. Both are now gone; one was on E. Lothrop St Beverly MA (and I usually saw moonbat signs on there...there was also a Sanders sign there, same house) and one on Main St Lynnfield MA. Eventually they gave up
I hope this guy has guns and cameras because the tolerant left will be by to show how they love open debate.
I suppose it is okay to put up taxpayer funded anti Trump billboards and things like that.
About time. This is a way to fight back. You cannot be nice to these people because they will never be nice to you.
What’s racially insensitive is for that lying commie bitch to claim to be of Indian descent to gain an advantage.
Imagine the storm it would generate if the banner carried the name we prefer, Fauxcahontas!
Squaw makum heep war on Pale-face!

“I’m an Indian Too” (a song from Annie Get Your Gun not often performed these days—politically incorrect! This funny video points out her hypocrisy. YouTube also has a version as done in a late 60s TV special with British singer Cliff Richard)
Ridicule is a very effective political tool.
