#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.

#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.

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

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

#9 President Donald Trump will not silence her by using a "racial slur" like "Pocahontas."

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

#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.
