Warren: Trump Will Not Silence Me by Using a ‘Racial Slur’ Like ‘Pocahontas’

2017-11-28

[FREEBEACON] Sen. Elizabeth Fauxchahontas Warren

...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that...
(D., Mass.) told MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Monday that President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
will not silence her by using a "racial slur" like "Pocahontas."

Trump hosted an event at the White House to honor Navajo code talkers, where he referenced Pocahontas, a nickname he has used in the past to refer to Warren.

Velshi played a clip of Trump's comments and then asked if she would like to respond.

"I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here," Trump said. "Although, we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago; they call her Pocahontas."

"This was supposed to be an event to honor heroes," Warren said in response. "People who put it all on the line for our country, and people who, because of their incredible work, saved the lives of countless Americans and our allies."

Given that the honourable senator is not actually of Indian descent, despite her claims...

#13 Elizabeth Warren Ancestor Rounded Up Cherokees For Trail of Tears

"For over a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Warren has described herself as a Native American. When recently asked to provide evidence of her ancestry, she pointed to an unsubstantiated claim on an 1894 Oklahoma Territory marriage license application by her great-great grand uncle William J. Crawford that his mother, O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford, Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandmother, was a Cherokee.

After researching her story, it is obvious that her “family lore” is just fiction.

As I pointed out in my article here on Sunday, no evidence supports this claim. O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford had no Cherokee heritage, was listed as “white” in the Census of 1860, and was most likely half Swedish and half English, Scottish, or German, or some combination thereof. (Note, the actual 1894 marriage license makes no claim of Cherokee ancestry.)

But the most stunning discovery about the life of O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford is that her husband, Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, was apparently a member of the Tennessee Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern United States and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), Tennessee–the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837.

This new information about Ms. Warren’s true heritage came as a direct result of a lead provided to me by William Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection, who in turn had received the information from one of his readers. Jacobson, who has questioned Warren’s explanation for her law faculty listing, calls this discovery “the ultimate and cruelest irony” of the Warren Cherokee saga.

#12 "Fauxcahontas" is the best usage. Warren is a member of the Wannabe tribe.

He doesn't want you to shut up, Lizzie, he wants you to keep talking. Boy, these people are fucking stupid.

#8 I liked the response by Sarah Huckabee Sanders when White House reporters asked her about it.

#7 It would have been better if Trump had called by her real nickname Fauxcahontas.

#4 Excellent trolling, DJT. She can't raise too much of a ruckus without bringing her fake Indian heritage for AA up

#3 Lighten up Pocahontas.

#2 They would have called it a racial slur, no matter what he said. They have entirely too much invested in the idea that Republicans and conservatives in general, and President Trump in particular, are rayciss to pay any attention to what anyone on that side of the aisle actually says, does, and thinks.

#1 Her response is telling.

Dem Warren is embarrassed to be called "Pocahontas". Because she lied about her heritage and wants the lie buried.

If she were of American Indian heritage, she would be honored to be called "Pocahontas". a Princess of the most high Chief of a regional Virginia tribes. Who then married a white man and changed her religion and took the name Rebecca, Biblical Mother of two Nations.

At the time of Rebecca's death as only 20 to 21 years old, she was known around the world after a trip to England.
