I don't give a good god damn if Senator Warren has a drop of Native blood....

[NightWatcher]

What Dipshit Donnie did today was fling a racial slur in the presence of Native American heroes while representing the Office of the President.

Done. End of rant.


(FWIW, I DO have several drops of Creek in my blood and those drops are joined with the drops from all over my history and are boiling about this.)

[Motley13]

1. They don't call him effing moron for nothing

the thing that got me, he said they call her Pocahontas,
NO, MORON you call her that, the rest of the world knows better.

[trof]

13. The rest of the world calls her Senator Warren.

[bdamomma]

35. he is

a effing racist moron. I hate the effing fake con job.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. And did you notice which portrait he did it in front of? Think that was an accident?

[NightWatcher]

5. I smell Stephen Miller on that one. I doubt Dickhead could've figured that out by himself

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Trump doesnt literally know who Jackson is, but Bannon and Miller sure do.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Trump called Andrew Jackson 'a swashbuckler.'

The Cherokees called him 'Indian killer.'

[mahannah]

10. The Cherokee I know call him the Indian fucker.

[Motley13]

18. I blame his staff for that one, they should know he didn't learn history at Wharton, but I guess

they are just as stupid

[robbob]

24. Was it stupidity?

Or was it deliberate?

[caraher]

34. Exactly

This is a message, not a mistake

[sagetea]

55. Deliberate

with an intent to intimidate.


sage

[Eliot Rosewater]

41. Trump himself doesnt know who Andrew Jackson is other than what he has been told

since breaking into and illegally occupying the WH.

Bannon and Miller did this, on purpose. To send a message.

[RKP5637]

3. Trump, is the biggest fucken asshole in the universe. The asshole is grotesque, as well as homely.

[uponit7771]

8. +1, I don't know anyone with less character than the president of the US ... that's such a damn sham

[H2O Man]

4. Recommended.

[djg21]

9. Worse yet

Was the fact that Trump stood at a podium in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson, who was an advocate of “Indian removal,” was a well-know “Indian fighter” responsible for killing countless native Americans, and as President signed the Indian Removal Act, which resulted in the infamous Trail of Tears.

[tecelote]

11. If Senator Warren has a drop of Native blood....

I consider that an asset. We need more Native American blood in Congress.

[Iliyah]

51. I read where now they are claiming that Senator Warren lied about

the Indian ancestry and therefore, that is WORSE than t-rump comments.

Unbeknownst to RWers, I pretty sure even in their ancestry they have Indian DNA. Ignorant runs extremely deep in their train of thought.

[annabanana]

52. My "drop"

Eight "Greats" back (Which would put it in the 1600's I think) There was a Wampanoag (Pokanoket) woman who's "Christian name" was Alice and her family name was Sessetom who married one of my ancestors.

I have always considered that bit of family history fascinating and I wish I knew the particulars. I'd like to think it was a genuine marriage, although I know there is the possibility that it wasn't.

[Lifelong Protester]

12. From what I saw...

he came off as his normal idiotic self. Embarrassing us all.

[DangerousUrNot]

14. I hate it when his supporters ask for

Evidence that he is racist. They even ask me for evidence that he is racist against blacks since I’m black, like it makes a difference. This man is an outright racist sociopath.

[lagomorph777]

46. I'm sick of commentators saying "I don't know what's in his heart but..."

If they can't tell that he is a racist all the way down to his stone cold heart, then they should get off TV they're idiots.

[Kajun Gal]

15. Well,

If she has native American blood in her then she IS the true American! Not Donnie Drumph!
God! Even I have native American in me! It's funny really, but MOST southerners have native American blood running through them. I am quite proud of that fact.

[A Brand New World]

16. According to my grandmother, my great-great-great grandmother was Cree.

When I did research on my family tree, I didn't see any signs of that but I have no reason to doubt my grandmother's word. And she is no longer alive to question further. The same thing could have happened with Senator Warren. Verbal family history may or may not be 100% accurate but not for nefarious purposes.

[Raine]

31. same thing happened in my family

for years the rumor was that we were part Native American and we looked it too. When anyone asked our nationality they said "you've got to be Native American" and we said "yes" ... WRONG. We thought we were but recently my brother traced the family back hundreds of years and not one drop of Native American, we're totally Anglo Saxon. We honestly thought were but at least we never used a fake name like Drumpf (or whatever it is).

[maddiemom]

53. C'mon! You KNOW Senator Warren was hoping to win the vast number

of Native American votes to get elected in Massachusetts. If she runs for national office, the Native American votes throughout the country will put her way over the top. Hardly fair compared to the small number of German American votes, which might not all go for Trump, so NOT fair to him. Sad.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. My wife has Tuscarora in her genetic history, but this incident

didn't really rile her much. She already couldn't think much less of this boorish oaf. Neither of us could.

[3catwoman3]

19. He is so utterly without class.

I have devised a neologism for him - crasshole.

[shenmue]

48. True

As a fellow person born in Queens, like he was, I have to say, this motherfucker pissin' me off.

[KrazyinKS]

20. A lot of Cherokee in Oklahoma

lots of people with a great grandparent somewhere that was Indian. Not a big deal around here. Maybe in Manhattan it is, when people say their grandfather or great grandfather was Indian, I just take them at their word, not a biggie. And yes, many do not look Indian at all.

[gladium et scutum]

26. Believed I had 1/16th Native American Blood

for 65 years based on what my mother told me. $75 DNA test showed I was 100% Northern and Western European.

[diane in sf]

43. You may still have the blood, the genes get shuffled with each generation

And the part that's Native American might have gotten very dilute.

[gladium et scutum]

54. A very small possibility

Both my brother and my dna tests, very similar results, very Scandanavian and Northern European. I had my done a second time by another company, same results. After several of year searching, trying to run down my maternal great grand father in the records of the Native Americans in Oklahoma, nada, zero trace of him in any reliable source documents.

[Kirk Lover]

21. It doesn't matter whether Warren has Native American ancestry or not....no matter

how hard Sarah suck sanders wants to say that it's about Warren it's not...it's about this trashbag and his racist remarks...and THE FUCKING NERVE to insult the race that is right in front of his face. This guy gotta go and NOW.

[yallerdawg]

22. Just a nasty racist gawdam pig.

Shareblue.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Correctomundo

The dotard doesn't respect Native Americans or the office he holds.

[bdamomma]

37. He doesn't respect anyone

or anything decent. He is a big nothing, he is a big health hazard ready to blow......

[malaise]

25. And the pathological LIAR added that

“Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/27/trump-makes-pocahontas-joke-at-ceremony-honoring-navajo-veterans

He's the only person who ever called Elizabeth Warren
Pocahontas

[trueblue2007]

27. like i said, i hate him & wish he was gone

[thegoose]

28. Despicable Donnie is stirring up racial hatred in the country

He's not out and out saying n***ers and sp*cs, but don't think for a moment that's not what this wretched piece of shit is doing.

[bdamomma]

38. Putin

is laughing his ass off at all of us, we are being shredded and divided by this POS.

[syringis]

29. Classy as always...

I'm trying to recall something he said...Got it !

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Here's how :

[RainCaster]

30. Why would anyone go to the WH after this?

You would be insulted, while he brags about how great his ego is...
NOBODY should attend a white house event after this, he is such a pig.

[mac56]

32. While standing in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson.

[reggaehead]

33. You can tell she does

You can see it in her features. It’s u mistakable

[Freelancer]

36. Dunno if Liz has native blood. T's blood has murder and tyranny.

He is descended from Kenneth MacAlpin, 1st King of Scotland, who was a treacherous murderer. According to legend, he invited all those with claims to kingship to a feast on a grand platform, liquored them up, then knocked out the supports. They fell onto spikes concealed below the stage.

I know this because I'm also descended from Kenneth MacAlpin. Yes, we're cousins.

[Texin]

40. My mother's paternal line had some Cherokee blood at some point, probably on the maternal line.

I haven't been able to trace that through Ancestry at this point to see where the intersection occurred. My maternal grandparents were both from Alabama and migrated to Texas and into Oklahoma during the early to mid-1800s. Not one of my parents or grandparents had brown eyes, and that's not at all uncommon over time. They didn't look (to me) a bit as if there might have been native American blood running through the family tree, though when I look at photographs of my grandfather (maternal), his eyes have a slightly Asian, almond-shape to them (and Asians migrated - purportedly - from the land bridge from Asia and Siberia many thousands of years ago and populated the North American continent becoming the various "indigenous" tribes that the early Europeans found here when they began their explorations and discovery of the North American continent).

I've known many people whose ancestors were from Oklahoma and they maintained that they themselves had native blood in their family bloodline even though they didn't have the appearance of having it. I do not disbelieve Senator Warren at all. I don't know whether she's had her DNA tested to discover if this is true or not, but you better bet that if her parents or grandparents told her this or it was part of the family "lore" that everyone has, including my own, they believed it to be true based on oral history if not written documentation. For Trump to keep pejoratively calling her Pochahontas is an insult to the actual woman and to the native population at large, and I wouldn't put it past him that he intended it as an intentional sideswipe to the men present, the native American people as a whole, and Elizabeth Warren for purely partisan dog whistle politics. Disgusting.

[Motley13]

42. Did my DNA with Ancestry.com, very disappointed

I had no native Am blood, in fact there were no surprises except my Viking
ancestors must have been the ones getting to the Caucasus' that I didn't know before

[Amimnoch]

44. Illegitimate President of the US.

He was not elected by the majority of the people.

His campaign was in collusion with a hostile foreign government.

He has neglected the emergency disaster needs of Puerto Ricans, and Californians as partisan punishment.

He has taken no steps, at all, to address the worst and 4th worst mass shootings in the nations history. Hell, he has refused to even call these shootings acts of terror.

He has used the bully pulpit of the presidency to engage in childish attacks on private citizens, the free press, members of congress (both within and outside of his party).

He has been accused of sexual assault/sexual misconduct by no less than 19 women, and an investigation by his party, which is in majority, has not even been initiated.

He is the illegitimate president of the US.

[IronLionZion]

45. On the flip side, many white supremacists have found their blood is not as pure as they thought

[Ms. Toad]

47. Correct - you cannot use a class of people as an insult

without implying there is something inherently bad about being within that class. That applies whether or not Warren is a Native American.

It is the same drum I've been banging about using gay or transgender as an insult to Trump, et al. I hope you have better luck making the point as to Native Americans.

[LiberalLovinLug]

49. Its ironic in a sad way how Republicans like Donnie show their racism....

...through a failed attempt to call out a Democrat as a racist. Isn't that what they implied by ridiculing her claim by teasing her with a nickname like that? That she was disrespecting native americans by being glib about her unfounded claims to look more.....I don't know....diverse? To make her ancestry more colorful? I really sometimes don't think even Republicans think through these insults.

[bucolic_frolic]

50. I have Native American ancestors as well

saw a painting of one once. about 1810. Know her name. I was told Cree, but I doubt it based on the geography.
