His remark has everything to do with Warren and only Warren.[/quote]

Deflection

Why is it even acceptable to bring up Warren during a ceremony honoring Native American soldiers. Why make a "joke" involving Pocahontas because she is the most well known Native American figure that has been historically made light of by American media.

Its really not funny and highly offensive to use a REAL native American figure to make a corny joke, she wasnt just a disney character which im sure Trump think she is. Warren had nothing to do with the ceremony

The Native American Veterans disagree. It was not the time of the place. He's a compete and utter idiot and you cannot face it. They felt disrespected and offended. As they should.

This ceremony should have been non-controversial that by putting his foot in his mouth again made it an issue.
Hon...he didn't put his foot in his mouth. He put his foot in your mouth and, as expected, you choked on it!


It's why we laugh.

We just can't.
TRANSLATION: In fact, it wasn't offensive to anyone. No on has said he was offended, except for fanatic leftists whose entire lives are centered around finding things to be offended over.
But we'll keep repeating it over and over, in hopes that people will believe it, and it will become The Truth. Our mentor said it would!

The Vet, who spoke before the Predator in Chief, spoke about what America really is and how we come together. The PIC came out and, could not speak as well as the Vet, then made a stupid comment. Putting his supporters in the difficult position of trying to make something stupid sound reasonable.

The PIC really needs to follow his teleprompter.

Uh, the president of the Navajo Nation said it was offensive. Sigh.

Sorry, but looking at Trump's comment in a vacuum, it just isn't the sort of comment I would expect from a POTUS. What's the point to make a passing remark like that as POTUS?

Liberals in the media immediately ginned up their usual "outrage", claiming the remark was somehow "offensive" or "racist". Despite the fact that it was Warren herself who told people she was an Indian.

But none of them seemed to mind her actually faking her ancestry.

When people point out the truth about their lies, liberals are far more outraged than they are over the fact that they lied themselves.

And the liberals still can't figure out why nobody listens to them or takes them seriously any more.

At a Navajo veterans' event, Trump makes 'Pocahontas' crack - CNNPolitics
Let's just assume that everyone agrees that Warren was wrong, and we all hate that. It does not justify Trump's behavior. The two are really unrelated.

Most normal people learned in Kindergarten that two wrongs don't make a right. But not Trumpers....

He picked the wrong venue, and certainly the wrong way to make his point.

Trump supporters continue to defend his vulgar behavior "and they still can't figure out why nobody takes them seriously".

Are you of American Indian decent? If not, put your money where your mouth is and leave.
