Fauxcahontas

Yes, President Trump's reference to "Pocahontas" (a shot at Sen. Elizabeth Warren's infamous fib about her heritage) during an event honoring Navajo code talkers was buffoonish. And yes, the ceremony being conducted right in front of a portrait of President Andrew Jackson seemed a bit tone deaf. But this idea that Sen. Warren is a sympathetic character in this whole thing is downright laughable. It seems "progressives" are more offended by the nickname with which Trump chides Warren than they are about her falsely claiming minority status to get ahead in life. Talk about "white privilege."

But to prove she hasn't a scintilla of shame over exploiting Native Americans for personal gain, Sen. Warren used this latest "Pocahontas" flap to elicit sympathy.

. @SenWarren has no shame. Just like she did at Harvard, she's still trying to get ahead with claims of Native American heritage that doesn't exist. pic.twitter.com/qU3PQuYlTU

The one excerpt which really caught my attention is her claim that Trump came at her "with another racist slur." So "Pocahontas" is a racial slur, huh?

Well then, whomever is using the domain www.Pocahontas.com has some explaining to do.
