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.”
The media and Sen. Warren, who has very dubious claims of a Native American ancestry, have called Trump’s use of Pocahontas a “slur.”
Sky News contrasted Porreco’s comments with those of Irene Bedard, who voiced Pocahontas in the cartoon Disney movie.
“Do I think Pocahontas would be a fan of Trump? Oh no,” Bedard said. “Misogyny and bullying and name-calling at its finest. It is not intelligent discourse.”
Porreco, who was the model for Disney’s Pocahontas character, was recently profiled in an article in Palm Beach Daily News. The piece explained that Porreco grew up poor on a reservation before attending college and working as a flight attendant.
“Sometimes when I’m dining at Mar-a-Lago, I think to myself, ‘You’ve come a long way from that Indian reservation you started in,” she said. “Pocahontas had dreams and went to England. My dreams brought me to Palm Beach.”
This is hilarious.
Lizz is going to be marginalized before she can get off the ground.
Man, I bet the NETWORKS are going to seek out this person for morning show interviews!

She’s a knockout and apparently she’s been on the Trump train for quite a while: http://trumpettesusa.com/index.php/trumpettes/debbie-porreco/
The original Pocahontas is famous for screwing one guy, the new one will do a lot more screwing of the people than that.
So maybe she needs a name of her own, Sacabigtaxes.
Pocahontas was a great and famous leader who lived in high society in England for years. She was a deeply respected leader on two continents. How is referring to someone who claims Indian heritage by comparing them with a great Indian leader a racial slur? Of course it is not. It only becomes a slur when Warren’s fraud is mocked. Were she in fact Indian referring to her as Pocahontas would honor her. She indicts herself as a fraud by being offended by Trump’s comment.
So we have a descendant of Pocahontas saying Pocahontas would be proud of Trump, so the media drums up the Hollywood actress who played Pocahontas to contradict the real-life descendant.
And they can’t figure out that Hollywood lives in a parallel universe, or why a growing swath of Americans ridicule both Hollywood and the so-called “news media”.
I love my name for Liz, Squaw SpeakingBull... As in Speaking Bulls—t.
She’s very pretty
It’s unfortunate that DJT didn’t go with “Fakeahontas” instead of “Pocahontas”. That nickname makes things a lot clearer...
Mary the Tribal Counsel say that Elizabeth Warren, false “Pocahontas,” awaits Justice used on her, by Comanche Warriors at a Comanche Moon!
Very lovely lady(check out the cheek bones).
Pocahontas aka ‘Gray Beaver’ went on the war path yesterday, which is putting some red in her rather pale complexion.
