People Are Extremely Uncivil After Trump Revives ‘Pocahontas’ Insult, Then Mocks #MeToo
Ross A. Lincoln and Phil Hornshaw, The Wrap 13 hours ago Civility was the last thing on Trump critics’ minds Thursday night after a rally where the president brought back his “Pocahontas” insult for Sen. Elizabeth Warren and made fun of the #MeToo movement.
During a speech in Montana, Trump started insulting several political opponents, including the Massachusetts senator, saying he wants to give her a DNA test. “I’m going to get one of those little DNA kits and if I’m debating her, we will toss it to her, very gently so it doesn’t injure her arm,” said Trump. “And we’ll say, ‘Pocahontas, I’ll give you a million dollars if you take the test to show you’re an Indian!'”
Trump continued with joke at the expense of #MeToo: “We will take that little kit, but we have to do it gently because we’re in the “Me Too” generation so I have to be very gentle. We will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm.”

Trump also said congresswoman Maxine Waters has an IQ in the “mid-60s,” and said that Sen. Jon Tester’s criticisms of White House doctor Ronny Jackson were “shameful, dishonest attacks.” Trump is in Montana campaigning for Democrat Tester’s Republican opponent.

Warren, originally from Oklahoma, says that her mother’s family has Native American ancestry but maintains she never sought to benefit from it academically or professionally. Trump started calling her “Pocahontas” during the 2016 election campaign.

The only ones impressed by this bullying piece of shit are his supporters.

I called her Fake-A-Hontas, and it gets deleted?? What rule did I break? Is that any worse than people calling Trump all kinds of bad names. I think they want to get rid of me for telling the truth!
So you think her name is, "Fake-A-Hontas"?
What was that you were saying about telling the truth?
What truth? Fake persecution complex much?
What gets me is his supporters cheer for him when he says nasty things, whoop and holler and whip themselves into a frenzy. Then when someone says something about trump or his supporters, they go into a melt down and accuse them of being full of hate.
Twisted logic in some.
Yeah.....that seems to happen a lot here. Like most weak kneed Bullies, they love to dish it out, but, they can't take it when it comes back to sit on their own heads. Talk about a melt down!
Way to go Mr. President! Right on
and well said. ( Deleted )
Really!!! way to go Mr. President...Insulting American Indians by using the term Pocahontas and later following up with telling her to name her dog, ''Sniffing Bull''...What a fucking asshole he is...And you claiming to be some great supporter of minorities applauding it.
Some people have no shame
And are total phonies and hypocrites.
Indeed. But, those who speak out of both sides of their mouth is one of the things they do best
He apologized to Pocahontas for Warrens cultural appropriation, as he should have.
WTH are you talking. He insulted ALL American Indians with his slurs and you support it. So much for the BS that you support minorities.
You have no idea of the true story of Pocahontas, you believe that Disneyland BS...Typical.
As far as Warren is concerned, that is in the hands of the Tribal Elders and I will hold judgement on her until they make their decisions.
As far as politics? Screw our politics, "we" have lost our way.
As far as Trump, of course I want him to do right by our Nation. As far as Sr and Jr in attempts to drive opinion, sometimes they just do not know how to shut up. This is one pf those times, where their hearts are laid bare and what we see is not good.
From a human perspective, there is no mistaking what they just laid on the table and it is not good.
There are over 10,000 living dependents of Pocahontas and one isn't offended...LMAO
There you go again insulting native Americans. Warren didn't call herself Pocahontas, the bigoted right are the ones to turn a native American name into an insult. All Warren ever did was believe what she had been told, and the fact is it's never been proven she doesn't have native American history. And there is zero evidence she used the claim of native American heritage to gain any advantage. And the fact is, a genealogist traced Warren's Native American heritage to the late 19th century, which, if true, would make her 1/32 Native American.
My grandmother recently passed away and I was going through some old photo albums of the family and found a whole section on my great great great (3rd great) grandmother who was full Cherokee. I had heard when I was a kid that we had some Cherokee in our ancestry but thought later in life, like many people, that it was just a popular tale told by many white Americans but not necessarily true. But it turned out the stories weren't just myth, I am part Cherokee, though not near enough to call myself native American. My Grandmother was 1/8th Cherokee, my father was 1/16th Cherokee and I'm 1/32th just like Elizabeth Warren likely is.
Not taking out of context at all. Your inability to understand the use of it and the background is what your taking it out of context.
I suppose that the comment of Warren naming her dog ''Sniffing Bull'' isn't an insult either. What does that have to do with her so called ''willful misappropriation''...
It's always interesting to have a non native tell natives what is insulting to them and what isn't...Typical arrogance but not unexpected.
But, if it makes you happy, then celebrate your boat floating.
Out of context?
Yep. I think some just don't get how incredibly disrespectful Trump is to minority groups.
There's actually no evidence that she's not 1/32th native American as a genealogist has found. So what "misappropriation" was there? She didn't directly benefit for listing herself when she was a teacher as native American, so where is the big scandal? Just more made up nonsense by the right who don't want to address her warranted condemnation of the Republican party and their flawed fiscal policies.
I think that if he were to say that face to face with a real Lakota Sioux he would not be doing much 'sniffing' for some time with a broken nose, if that is all he wound up with.
You do not speak for me. I'm an American citizen. I DO NOT agree with Trump OR you. Even though you like to think it is your right, it is NOT your right to speak for all Americans about ANYTHING.
And your speaking for all Americans is a rather sweeping generalization.
Deleted
Yes you did. By saying "America agrees with you" you are insinuating that all Americans agree. Put your snark away and try to sound intelligent.
HA doesn't speak for me, either. I think Trump said a shitty thing, and I think it's shitty to support shitty things.
And shitty people who say such shitty things.
So you speak for America? You don't speak for me or anyone else. Again the only ones who support this bullying asshole are his supporters
deleted
Actually, if anyone here did belong, it would be NONE of YOUR business.
SP, How in the hell was this a "sweeping generalization". I clearly asked a question, not lump a large group of people. Seems like definitions change according to the mods wants around here...
It doesn't say it's a 'sweeping,' it just says 'deleted.'
That's not what it says...
Right side of the screen.. --------------------------->
Donald Trump says multiple horrible things every single day. So many that it is impossible to even keep track of them. It is hysterical that Elizabeth Warren has been highly visible in politics for half of her life, but the only thing that her detractors can attack her on is this one stupid issue. Donald Trump can't even attack her on this one single issue without insulting the very people that he is pretending to defend.
The problem is that Trump doesn't get the joke right. It's Fauxcahontas, not Pocahontas.
She's a fraud and that's what should be emphasized.
No, it's fauxpascahontas. Your French sucks. lol
Donald Rump is the fraud here and that's what should be emphasized
Another Warren basher who won’t provide an explanation? Are you BF’s protege now?
I thought that polls were phony? You mean there not...Better start telling the righties on NT that claim that polls are fake.
What I said was, Trump calling Warren Pocahontas, is an insult to all American Indians, because the true story of her is noting like the Disneyland version. Perhaps you should take the time to look it up and increase your knowledge on that subject. I did not say anything about Warren and her claims of being American Indian. And it seems that Rebecca went after Warren and her claim of being NA. Not the phony story of Pocahontas.
Trump thinks he's on the Blue Collar Comedy tour with Larry the Cable Guy. The thing is, when Larry the Cable guy says something stupid or insensitive, it's expected, he's preaching to his Hee-Haw crowd. When Trump says something stupid and insensitive, he's also preaching to the Hee-Haw crowd but he's supposed to be the President of the whole United States and is supposed to represent all of us. The fact is, he doesn't even represent a majority of America, just the lowest common denominator third who have rejected reason, logic and sense and cling to ignorant protectionist bigotry and the demonization of anyone that doesn't look or worship like they do. That is Trump's base and they're the only ones laughing when he makes fun of the disabled, native Americans or women standing up for themselves against sexual assault and abusers like Trump.
Trump once again slams Americans, then turns around and praises Putin.....and once again, his supporters cheer his disgusting behavior.
"New research shows why people might feel good about characters who do bad things."
“Villains aren’t just immoral. They’re good at being bad,”
“What’s happening here is that we’re not making isolated judgments about these characters using some objective standard of morality,” says Grizzard. “We’re constantly making comparisons about these characters and the forces they face.”
With Walter White, for example, the audience sees the evolution of a character whose ethics progressively spiral downward from season to season, and yet audiences remained loyal to him. That loyalty surprised Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan.
Gilligan said in an interview that at some point he thought the audience would turn against the character . But Grizzard points out that the show’s antagonists concurrently get worse along with White.
“We see a trend where White is not decreasing by himself. There’s likely to be a constant comparison with other characters ,” says Grizzard. “So White is probably benefiting from the comparisons the audience is making.”
Grizzard says it’s a polarization effect . The hero seems better when compared to the villain, while the villain seems worse when viewed in light of the hero."
I think we're watching in real time once moral people rooting for the antithesis of everything they stood for because they did a comparison between Trump and the straw man Hillary that was created by Republicans and the Russians during the campaign, one of Hillary running satanic child sex rings, assassinating staffers, and selling uranium to the Russians, none of which were true, but allowed the supposed "moral" Christian right to cheer for the lesser of two evils, Trump. Sadly, Trump is as bad as we thought while Hillary was just stupid and wasn't able to combat the tsunami of false press and media.
I wouldn't call Hillary stupid. The attacks on her must have been overwhelming and so many believe the lies to this day.
While I don't think she's actually stupid, she did make some behemoth blunders and wasn't really the best Democrats could have picked. She was betting on the belief that she should be the first woman President and factually she was fairly qualified, but had way too much baggage to attempt such a feat. She should have counted on the Republicans using the dirty tactics they always use to try and win, though I'm sure she didn't see it coming from an enemy foreign government siding and coordinating with an American political party to secure the white house. That was a new low.
I read that as well, and for the record, probably one of the best shows ever on telly.
He also said that he had to have at least some level of humor in the show or people would simply not watch it because it would be far too dark. But I digress. Most trump supporters, in my opinion have become so disillusioned with the establishment of BOTH parties, they decided to take a chance on trump. Now that he is in office, ego prevents a LOT of people admitting that voting for him was a mistake. I have several friends that voted for trump, none of them admits now that it was a good choice. No one wants to admit that they are wrong, I think that has a lot to do with why he still has (some) support.
I used to watch The Apprentice... Not a bad show actually. And when trump said he was running for president, I thought, "Hmmm, I liked the show, and he is successful, maybe I could vote for him..."
A week later, after doing some research and listening to the constant flow of shit coming out of his mouth, I decided no way in hell I could vote for him. No one I know of says Hillary was the perfect candidate, but she would have been a MILLION times better than this POS we are now stuck with.
I watched the show a couple of times. Even then he would say one thing and do another. Could never be trusted.
The moral of the story, or...show, as I took it, is that eventually, drugs will destroy you, and your family. Of course, that's a very simplistic way of looking at it. So yes, you can never trust a drug dealer.
Oh, sorry, I meant the apprentice.
I can't understand why any woman would even think about voting for any Republican, let alone Trump. But then, I can't understand why any people who call themselves Christians would support them either.
What about the groping allegations? Do you think they are lying, even when we have Trump on tape admitting that he attacks women in exactly the same way his accusers say he attacked them? If you don't think they are lying, how can you not be strongly against a man like this holding the power of the presidency? I'm just trying to understand. I can't grasp how anyone can be neutral about Trump given all the extreme and unprecedented (for a president) things he's said and done.
