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.

On the one hand, I'm upset with Trump for waking that pig up, but to see her scream and yell false claims of racial slurs, makes it all worth it.

No racial slur there. What it is? Just an insult to Pocahontas, and a reminder what a shameful crook Elizabeth Warren is.

Is there anything Trump supporters won't defend? Is there any line he can cross that will convince you to even question him? Or was he right, he could shoot someone and you wouldn't bat an eye? Let me guess, as long as he shoots a liberal .

I think we know the answer to the question and we should just stop asking him. They don't care about murder, lies, pedophelia. They love it all. These are people that enjoy poking their countrymen and women in the eye, just for the fun of it.

Nah. Just the stupid, insensitive jackass ones.

Not our fault he makes so many of them.

If he cut it out, we'd have less to be offended by.

LOL.

In the same breath Conservatives don't mind that Trump is a con man but have no problem calling Hillary a crook. You know pot meets kettle.

Why does every faux pas have to be diverted with what others state or believe.

I support Trump but that doesn't mean I blindly agree with everything he says and does.

I thought it was out of line for him to make an off handed pot shot remark at someone during an occasion to honor WW2 heroes.

I DON'T mind. I don't even know if it is true. Nor do I care. What do YOU care? And who are you to say who is an Indian, or not? Lot's of people who look "white" say they are Indians. Some are, some aren't. Get a life.

I haven't been offered a red cent; and I think he's a POS. Where's MY pay? Or, are you just wrong?

Of course not. He said he could shoot someone and not lose any votes and he was right.

So, he can make rude comments about a Senator, calling her the name of a famous Native American woman and using it in a derogatory fashion, while supposedly "honoring" two Native American code talkers. Senior citizens who served during WWII. Members of what is arguably the "Greatest Generation." Right under a portrait of Andrew Freaking Jackson.

And... they're cool with it.

Who cares? As long as he's offending libruls, what's a few Injuns?

He might as well have referred to those men as "Geronimo and Big Heap Chief Bullfeathers."

After all... he was "just joking."

Jackass.

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".
Voters knew that Trump was not a polished politician skilled in political correctness and sugar coating life to keep the populace in an artificial state of hypnosis. He is crass and straight forward and lacking in professional etiquette as are a great many Americans.

Some voters are tired of being coddled and charmed and are more concerned with the actual issues instead of focusing on the window dressing.

Then you, apparently, have some sanity left. That's how most normal people would feel.
