Trump calls Warren Pocahontas and racist, a jab he loves to repeat about Warren's family lore of American Indian heritage. Why is media not calling him out strongly for using "Pocahontas" in name calling? Why is media not strong enough to say, Trump calling anyone racist is just amusing. I am starting to think may be he does not understand what racist mean.

Because he says so many offensive things, it's hard to focus on one for very long. And this one is not actually aimed at the presumptive nominee. |
Others call her Lie-awatha. |
Maybe mildy so, but childish and stupid all the same. |
*mildly |
Yes it is racist |
It's so pathetic it doesn't need the added label of being racist. He modifies the name of everyone who has more sense, experience, value and credibility than he does. We're used to it. I'm sure he'd call Abraham Lincoln names if he had the chance.
He's a schoolyard bully who has no business being on the world stage, but the Republican party is such a shitshow, we get to listen to him for five more months before we can elect a qualified adult. Thanks GOP. |
It was funny for maybe a millisecond after he said it. Now he just sounds like those people who can only get themselves to laugh at their jokes. |
Apparently Trump has an axe to grind against "Indians" since a long time: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-elizabeth-warren-native-americans_us_57718e80e4b0f168323a9743 |
So, why exactly did Warren claim to be American Indian if she’s not.
Not believing the “family lore,” I mean lie. |
Its your choice to believe it or not. However you have no right to call names when you do not believe. |
"Lyin' Ted Cruz" was kind of funny, actually, when Trump used it. Not sure what he meant, but funny. |
I see it as reminding people that Warren checked the "American Indian" box on school applications to get preferential treatment for her work in academia. I'm no Trump fan, but I don't think this is an example of him being racist. |
Fauxcahontas was the put down a few years ago. |
Agree. She is the best example of limo liberals. All the policies she pushes for, she won't follow herself. |
