Pocahontas was a pre-teen who was kidnapped, held hostage & raped by European invaders. Stop using her name as a racial slur & how dare you insult these brave Native men who risked their lives for this country.https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/935235170487201794 …

Neither are any of the other countless minority / special interest groups / organizations that he uses to advance his grudges - the Boy Scouts and countless military assemblies come to mind. Children, veterans, and war heroes like the Navajo code talkers deserve better.

America deserves better, not just children, veterans and war heroes. We all deserve better than this obnoxious manbaby.

Well find an opposition candidate who can get elected, the last one sucked so bad that Donald Trump was elected to the office.
-
She sucked so much that she won the popular vote.

17 other Republican candidates too, so don’t just say HRC. Not for nothing but Rubio admitted to being hacked during the Primaries at a Senate testimony inquiry. Whatever happened didn’t happen by the rules.

Trump has used veterans as a talking point or a prop since the beginning. He doesn’t give a shit about any of us. It’s just a bad acting job. He has not lifted a finger to do anything positive for us and tried to take over $1500 per mo away from 300k vets in 1st draft of budget

Mary, it was a little different, He disgraced Native people. And they were Vets.
-
I know they were vets. My point is he treats all vets as props. The Wind Talkers were just his way of getting in front of the camera today to be seen making a fool of himself. We are all just talking points for him and yes it was a disgrace he couldn’t get thru it without a slur
-
We have a way of treating our elders, Vets or not, that is traditional. We don't put them on display. We don't Use them as talking points. My Avi might be Anglo, but my Mom is Full Blooded Oglala Lakota. I have no words.

Usually DT just makes me angry but this so broke my heart. He couldn't just honor those men and be presidential for just a few minutes?

It's a shame on all Americans that our so-called President can't distance himself from his own petty anger & prejudice long enough to honor those whom were such heroes, who in the face of the injustices perpetrated upon them, still allied with their tormentors for a greater good.
-
Sadly, that would require him to put his own ego aside TO actually do honor to anyone other than himself. He's so ruled by ego that he just HAS to tear other people down to feel powerful just like a schoolyard bully.

As someone whose a DAR member with family dating back to Jamestown, when he goes there it’s offensive even for me. I’m embarrassed for those hero’s on that stage.

Warren is not the issue. DT calling anyone Pocahantas — esp meant as an insult — is the issue. SHAME on him

(sorry for the typo - phone typing argh - Pocahontas)

I do it all the time. Talk texting is the worst because I just glance and send
