It was also disrespectful to hold the ceremony before a portrait of Andrew Jackson, infamous for the Indian Removal Act.
I just spoke with Russell Begaye, president of the Navajo Nation. He was in the room when this took place. He called @realDonaldTrump mention of Pocahontas “derogatory” and “disrespectful to Indian nations.”https://nyti.ms/2iaHWXg

It is sickeningly ironic, seeing that painting over his shoulder during an event meant to be honoring Navajo vets. But Andrew Jackson is Trump's hero, so it's hardly surprising.

I have had the honor of working with several Code Talkers. They are greeted by people standing, applauding & thanking them for the dangers they faced during WW2. They are treated here in AZ and NM with the greatest reverence for their service. *45 soils the WH and our nation 24/7

The only disrespect is Warren pretending to be Native American which takes opportunities from real Native Americans.

I have a great respect and admiration for the men who came to serve as code talkers, especially in the face of racism, at that time and today. I cried when I saw this man they call president treat the Indian Nations so disrespectfully! True patriots! Thank you for your love!

He's going to UT in a couple of weeks to announce his plan to rescind Bears Ears Natl Monument. This should outrage people! This was just a warm up for that insulting act towards Native Americans.

Never has there been a less qualified person in charge of our government. It is absolutely shocking that the Republican majority accepts this ignorant and corrupt buffoon as President.pic.twitter.com/hh01tgrrh8

Not only do they accept him, but they are entangled with him. His lies are their lies, his deceit is their deceit, his fate is their fate. I trust no one in the
@GOP#GOP#republicans@senateGOP@houseGOP. They are complicit in having our democracy eroded so they can have POWER
