      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 …

      Not to mention, these men are Navajo (Dine) and Pocahontas was from the Pamunkey tribe. Two entirely different Native nations.

      By the way, Trump is insulting these Native veterans in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson, who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Natives by way of the Indian Removal Act & the Trail of Tears. He & his men made horse reins from Native skin.

          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.

          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

          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.

          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.
