Trump on Warren: 'I do regret calling her Pocahontas’

Donald Trump on Monday said that calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) “Pocahontas” is only demeaning to the renowned Native American.

“I do regret calling her Pocahontas, because I think it’s a tremendous insult to Pocahontas,” he said on Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor" Monday night. "So, to Pocahontas, I would like to apologize to you.”

Anchor Bill O’Reilly also asked Trump, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee, whether he would consider Warren for “ambassador to Tonga.”

“No, she wouldn’t be my first choice,” Trump responded. "You know, she’s been a very, very poor senator. You know the funny thing about Elizabeth Warren, she’s been a lousy senator. She’s done a terrible job.”

to him why he "regrets" the slur. Also I have no doubt that they'll have to do it over and over again throughout the campaign.

they cancelled the meeting, citing his referring to Sen Warren as "Pocahontas" as one of the reasons.

He's racist at his core and it's obvious.

Only part of the Native American groups cancelled...several did still meet with him and some of their reps are republicans....I don't understand completely other than the $$ but it seems unfortunate that money for a few is more important than the overall welfare of an entire group of people (see "Log Cabin Republicans&quot .
