Let me reword this thread from:
"Liberals don't mind that Warren faked Indian ancestry, but VERY outraged that President Trump made a public joke about it"

To:
"President Trump made an insulting statement about American Indians, at a ceremony honoring American Indians and Trump's cult tries to deflect by making it about Elizabeth Warren."

Just to say that doesn't need saying, Trump was making no joke.

Trump has used this comment several times in the past. However, he usually accompanies it with an apology.

He apologizes for insulting the Indian native Pocahontas.

Or offensive for the President to point out the truth: That she had called herself an Indian?



These disgruntled liberal losers are SO confused and miserable.....
Anyway, the 'outrage' was the President using the term in front of his Navajo Code Talker guests.

Oh, I see.

He was insulting the Navajo code talkers in the ceremony, by implying that they might have some common ancestry with a lying leftist like Elizabeth Warren.

Now I get it!

Don't pretend it wasn't a needless pejorative aimed at Warren for no apparent reason. The guy has no filter or self control.

This ceremony should have been non-controversial that by putting his foot in his mouth again made it an issue.

Not sure why you even started this thread. If you can't see that standing up before a group of Native Americans and throwing out Pocahontas names about your rivals isn't totally crass and infantile, then all you've done is made yourself look as infantile as the POTUS. Quit trying to make his stupid move about Elizabeth Warren.

No, I don’t think you do get it! This ceremony was not about Warren, it was about respecting the Navajo war heroes, and not using words that would be offensive to Native Americans in general.

Indeed. He did insult them a little, by implying they had something in common with Fauxcahontas.

That's Trump.

Good news is, look at the leftist fanatics going ballistic, making fools of themselves over a triviality. That's worth the price of admission.
