Trump made a joke about Pocahontas while meeting with Native Americans

  • 6 years ago
On Monday, President Trump met with a group of Native American war heroes but couldn't resist throwing a jab at Elizabeth Warren. "You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas." Warren, who is sometimes referred to as 'Pocahontas' as a nickname, called the joke "deeply unfortunate." "This was supposed to be an event to honor heroes, 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." "It is deeply unfortunate that the president of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur."
