At a Navajo veterans’ ceremony over the weekend, President Trump made a brief joke at Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren’s expense, calling her "Pocahontas," that left the media practically foaming at the mouth.
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Matthew Dowd and Meghan McCain perhaps had the most overdramatic analysis of the comment, slamming it as a “gross” “attack” and a “racial slur,” on Good Morning America.
Anchor George Stephanopoulos hyped that “the president raised a lot of eyebrows” with this comment, inviting “Republican” analysts Meghan McCain and Matthew Dowd to bash Trump.
After playing the video clip of Trump saying Warren is known as “Pocahontas,” Stephanopoulos sneered, “Actually, Meghan, it's the President who calls her Pocahontas.”
McCain then lamented:
This never stops being uncomfortable for me to watch the Navajo Code Talkers are some of of our greatest heroes from WWII and I think bringing up this sort of gross political term that’s used against Elizabeth Warren in this context is particularly in poor taste and I will say if Democrats want to put up Elizabeth Warren for 2020 this is just a preview of a small token of what it will be like.
“Not only did the president say that when the White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked about it later she went on to attack the senator,” Stephanopoulos gushed, bringing Matt Dowd in to comment.
“This is unreal. I totally agree with Meghan. Notally did he say that, which is considered by many a racial slur, he was standing in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson who signed the Indian Removal Act that basically led to the trail of tears and a death march for these people,” Dowd complained.
“This White House is Wile E. Coyote. Every time they have a lay up, they blow themselves up,” Dowd remarked, to Stephanopoulos’ laughter.
ABC Freaks Out Over Trump’s ‘Racial Slur’ Against Sen. Warren
Believe it or not, Dowd didn’t come up with that overwrought analysis all by himself. NBC’s Today show highlighted it was actually Elizabeth Warren who deemed the insult a “racial slur,” a term which got replayed and highlighted across cable news Tuesday morning.
NBC played a video clip of Warren slamming Trump shortly afterwards, saying “All the president had to do was make it through this ceremony and honor these wonderful people. And what did he do? He had to throw out a racial slur.”
Later on, NBC read statements from the head of the Navajo nation calling the comment “insensitive” and another unnamed tribal group calling it a “slur.”
CBS This Morning’s Major Garrett also deemed the insult “racial,” saying Trump “injected race into one of the most benign of Oval Office settings.” In his report, he added, “With Navajo code talkers at his side, President Trump chose an event to highlight their life saving World War II translation methods to re-ignite a smoldering racially charged feud with Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren.”
And now the Navajos are getting in on the “I’m so offended” bandwagon. Pathetic.
You realize that the Cowboys and Redskins are playin Thursday night. Saw an ad somewhere. Let the whining begin. LOL!
Trump plays the media like the pack of fools they are!!!
They seem more upset at that, than that she lied to scam Indian benefits.
I’m kind of partial to Lieawatha
So Elizabeth Warrens proof of her Indian heritage is that a relative had high cheek bones. Bwahahahahahaha
Which she’s not
Which it isn’t.
The faux-outrage has already come and gone over on the Fluff Post.
She defrauded the affirmative action system for professional and financial benefit. There could have been another minority person who applied for that job who was screwed out of it because this white woman, as white as the wind driven snow, lied about being an Indian on her job application.
Trump mercilessly mocks her for it - as he should for as crazy as it is to think she hasn’t already resigned in disgrace, and the media circles the wagons to defend her because they know this is an enormous liability for her for 2020. Unreal, indeed.
[White people upset about imagined insults Amerindians don’t care about.]
Insult appropriation. LOL
Classic lefty projection, like `Russia!’
When one of their tribe gets caught with her hand in the wampum jar, pretending to be something she’s not for the filthy lucre, they circle their teepees and go on war path, accuse accusers: dirty white eyes.
MSM speak with forked tongue, heap bad medicine. Ugh.
It OK to be white. Me went native.
Looks like ABC and Kim Un are taking their leads from Nancy/Schumer.
Rhetorical question: When lefties call Trump “Hitler”, is that now considered and anti-German smear?
Well, they all have the same mindset.
But Kim Un is the actualization of what
the other three would only *like* to do.
Elizabeth “Hunts at Whole Foods” Warren.....
It was said many times in the past and now they woke up, fu
Exactly. Add the Harvard Education. These AA bennies are idiotic. How about AA for CAR and DAR members? Our families fought to defeat the Brits.
The All Bull Crap network peddles bullcrap...as usual. Pathetic morons.
