You sit here and attack the president with these horrible things saying about him personally, and say, Well, Mr. President or Trump, you are doing the same thing, Dennard continued. You have to some kind of honesty about
That is honesty, Begala shot back. And youre wrong, my friend. You respect the office and not the man. I respect the office, if he enters the room, I stand. If he signs a law, I obey. He is my president. But he is letting me down and a vast majority of Americans.

using the pejorative term Pocahontas? Remember this is not some pundit, but the President saying this about a sitting Senator.
