How can Trump get away with calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas?

Bigger, smarter, nicer, classier, more principaled than he is, so they ignore him.

I would love to know where to buy one.

Trump can insult First Peoples because his cultural/verbal genocide matches the literal genocide.

Honestly I'm amazed trump is getting flak for all his hate. Really nothing republicans haven't been doing since Reagan. Hell, Nixon. The only difference is trump isn't subtle about it.

That judgment will come on Nov. 8

where?

I wish you could still see the hides.

I wonder if they get paid by the post?

I can't believe people actually make money being a troll.

If her family was told they have native blood, they probably do.

...to state I am a Native American. </Sir Charles Chaplin>

GMTA!

I do wish Warren would have taken up on the tribal elders offer for a sit down.

But truthfully that isn't my issue. It's Trump's use of a native as a slam. I understand that he's throwing red meat to his supporters for applause. I'm just sad that as a country, we let him get away with it.

The noise floor in incivility just keeps rising.

But he will lose the election.

I remember one video of Brown staffers doing "war chants".

To an extent I think Warren should have been more cautious about saving she has native American ancestry, but there's nothing to suggest she derived any gain from it.

This is one of several articles online over the years about Trump's long history of insults against Native Americans fueled by his desire to expand his casino empire - Worth reading the entire article:

"Donald Trump claimed that Indian reservations had fallen under mob control. He secretly paid for more than $1 million in ads that portrayed members of a tribe in Upstate New York as cocaine traffickers and career criminals. And he suggested in testimony and in media appearances that dark-skinned Native Americans in Connecticut were faking their ancestry.

“I think I might have more Indian blood than a lot of the so-called Indians that are trying to open up the reservations,” Trump said during a 1993 radio interview with shock jock Don Imus.

Trump’s harsh rhetoric on Native Americans was part of his aggressive war on the expanding Native American casino industry during the 1990s, which posed a threat to his gambling empire. The racially tinged remarks and broad-brush characterizations that Trump employed against Indian tribes for over a decade provided an early glimpse of the kind of incendiary language that he would use about racial and ethnic groups in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The GOP nominee has portrayed Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers, accused a Latino federal judge of bias because of his ancestry, and suggested that most American Muslims are harboring terrorists. As for Native Americans, the Republican nominee has repeatedly mocked Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s claim of Cherokee ancestry by referring to her as “Pocahontas” while some of his rally crowds have erupted in war whoops."
