FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Families of Navajo war veterans who were honored Monday at the White House say they were dumbfounded that President Donald Trump used the event to take a political jab at a Massachusetts senator, demeaning their work with an unbreakable code that helped the U.S. win World War II.

Trump turned to a nickname he often deployed for Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren during the 2016 presidential campaign: Pocahontas. He then told the three Navajo Code Talkers on stage that he had affection for them that he doesn’t have for Warren.

Trump promises to help build a Navaho Code Talkers Museum at the wish of these heroes (The leftards just happened to leave that out!).

That was my immediate response as well. The man can't extend a little dignity to Native Americans who served in WWII without making it some kind of attack against his political opponents and insulting those he is supposed to honoring.

What a moron.

Wait, let me get this straight.

A white woman claiming she is an Indian without a shred of proof, is praised by leftists in the name of diversity.

A white women claiming she is Black, even though her white parents have no genes with dark skin pigment is also praised by leftists.

Trump made a Pocahontas joke aimed at a white woman, leftists go berserk.

Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

Yep....

A reminder for everyone covering the President’s joke about Senator Elizabeth Warren:


Elizabeth Warren lied about her ancestry for years.
She has never told the whole story as to why she listed herself as a Native American for nine years (perhaps because she used it to get ahead at law schools that were desperate for minority professor representation at the time.)

In 2012, she was forced to backtrack on multiple explanations for why she did it, and to this day still hasn’t provided a clear answer as to what exactly happened.

She has never provided any documentation proving she is a Native American (and most independent analysis also says there is no proof).
Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.

Which is more offensive:

Calling an old white lady "Pocahontas."

Or

Lying about being Native American to further your career.

He has made that Pocahontas comment numerous times. And most of the time, it just goes right on by and nobody gives a damn.

Here, however, he had to insert into a speech that was intended to honor WWII era Native Americans for their service where it was completely inappropriate.

It's not that he took a shot at Elizabeth Warren, that's pretty much expected. It's that he did it at a time and at a place where such comments were not in keeping with the intention of the event.

That would be an excellent point, except she never made her believed Native American ancestry part of her campaign. It was dug up by "opposition research" by people going through her college records.

What a moron.
This.

He used an event to honor veterans to attack a political rival. Gross.

Of course it worked, as now the discussion is about Warren, not Trump, the foolish tax bill, the coup d'état at CFPB, etc Distraction tactic.
