Trump to Dems: 'Pocahontas is now the face of your party' (CNN)

[BigBearJohn]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump taunted Democrats by telling them "Pocahontas is now the face of your party" -- his insult of choice for Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- during a meeting with senators earlier this week, sources told CNN.

The sources said the Warren moment came up in the context of Trump's impromptu analysis of the state of the Democratic Party. Trump made his comments in what appeared to be a reference to Warren's criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation process. Her comments prompted Republicans to invoke an arcane rule to cut her off.

The moment galvanized Democrats and has elevated Warren's standing among progressives.

At one point, Trump said the only reason Warren claimed Native American heritage was "because she has high cheekbones," one of the sources said.

1. It's a beautiful face, unlike that of the GrOPer Russian Dicktater.

[Mike Nelson]

2. The US Senators...

...both Democrats and Republicans, should have walked out on the meeting with Trump and returned to their offices to issue statements condemning his comment.

[AJT]

5. Very disappointed in the Dems

Anyone know who they were?

Hey Mike.....MST3k fan?

[Mike Nelson]

8. I get the...

...MST comment a lot. I used the name as a writer... it combines two family names not used for me, but considered at birth. Both are close family members. At the time, I was not aware of the other Mike Nelson.

22. attending... (both D and R)

Attending were: Sens. Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester, Lamar Alexander, Chris Coons, Shelley Moore Capito, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Joe Donnelly and Michael Bennet

[Paladin]

32. Thanks for the list of attendees. I've been looking for it.

And fuck Joe Manchin, by the way.

[Alice11111]

17. Yep! Yep!

[manicraven]

3. Evidently, treason is now the face of the Trump administration!

[gordianot]

4. Trump wanted this to be reported.

That in itself should not be forgotten no claim that he misspoke or he was just joking. We are living in a very hard reality.

[flor-de-jasmim]

6. You are right, on both accounts.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. I don't understand? Why did he want it to be reported?

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. To his base, slinging insults is a sign of being a strong leader

with extra points for attacking a woman, and about a minority. He wants them to know he's going to carry on being just as uncouth as they are, even in meetings with senators. The theme of the presidency is "Archie Bunker Goes To Washington".

[mgardener]

23. He is going after women

Sally Yates, Elizabeth Warren.
He has a long history of deplorable behavior towards strong women, women who say "no" and women who question him. Kelly Anne Conway will be next. She is taking the heat of off of him now, but she is expendable.
I rather think he is afraid of them.

[yardwork]

25. I've noticed that. His entire administration disrespects women.

Apparently, much of the country - women and men - this this is great. The Christofascist regime is here.

[blogslut]

7. Hey, Donald!

Guess who is the face of your party?

[Cha]

9. And.. ?, stupid.. this is the face of your fascist asshole regime.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Fuck you, you orange turd!

Your days are numbered.

[LenaBaby61]

11. Trump to Dems: 'Pocahontas is now the face of your party' (CNN).

I wish Elizabeth would go after him on twitter and make fun of his daughter-wife's FAILING clothing line not even being good enough to be featured in the markdown section @ Piggly Wiggly's

[Submariner]

12. Warren should get a DNA test

to show her ancestry and shut up the critics or this Native American issue is going to be used to hammer her.

This Pocahontus slur came from Boston hate radio jock and Trump whore Howie Carr .

[uponit7771]

19. +1

[yuiyoshida]

13. I can't wait to hear about Rosie and what she does on Saturday night live.

Trump will have the fits of all fits.

[Rincewind]

15. Big deal,

the face of the republican party is a talking pile of shit.

[Arkansas Granny]

16. And that's just fine with me. And Trump is the face of the Republican party.

We got the better end of that deal.

[Alice11111]

21. It insults Native Americans too.

Using a Native American heroine in what the orange blob intends as insulting. Racial slur. Yeah, good idea for her to get the DNA, get a final result, and be done with it.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Dems should have turned to the Repub senators and said "and this man is now the face of yours.

Which party do you think is being dragged down?"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. So Trump's proud of his racism

Okay loser

[Botany]

27. Yup!

that comment has sexism and racism all over it.

[Skidmore]

26. Considers himself to be king of branders.

We need to shove his personal brans back at him until it shatters. Keep him focused on defending asssaults on all things Trump.

[Alpeduez21]

28. GOOD!

She's elegant and erudite
at appropriate times she's impolite
taking the battle to the right
encouraging protesters to fight all night
Senator Warren is . . . . . DYNOMITE!!

[nikibatts]

29. But 45 is the face of the GOP so whose worse off?

[Vinca]

30. Actually, demeaning Native Americans is now the face of his party.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Chief Birther labels Pocahontas

That's what he is, Chief Birther and he should be reminded of it
every time he uses this Pocahontas slur
