Trump calls Warren 'Pocahontas' at event honoring Native Americans

The National Congress of American Indians, the largest and most recognizable umbrella group for Native American tribes also criticized Trump's remarks at the event honoring "code talkers" — Native Americans recruited by the Marines as communications specialists during World War II.

"We regret that the president’s use of the name Pocahontas as a slur to insult a political adversary is overshadowing the true purpose of today’s White House ceremony,” NCAI President Jefferson Keel, himself a Vietnam combat veteran, said in a statement. “Today was about recognizing the remarkable courage and invaluable contributions of our Native code talkers.

Oh, dear. Somehow I made it through all of last year's campaign without having heard the "Pocahontas" nickname for Senator Warren, so Trump's remarks were baffling to me at first. I've googled it now. Sigh.

He just can't help himself. What a national embarrassment.

He is a disgrace to humanity. Totally screwed up a ceremony honoring some great US Veterans.
