The War On Warren - Or - The Surfeit of Slurs

Senator Elizabeth Warren has come forward today to denounce President Trump for using a racial "slur" to describe her.  Most of the mainstream media is in full melt-down mode about it too.  So what did the President say?  He called Warren "Pocahontas".  If you're not certain, Pocahontas was the daughter of the chief of the tribe that met the English settlers at Jamestown in the early 1600s in Virginia.  She helped the settlers and has been honored since that time.  Disney went so far as to make an animated movie about Pocahontas a few years back.  Now, however, the President's use of the name to describe Warren is denounced as a racial "slur".  It isn't.  Trump was not demeaning any racial group by using the name Pocahontas.  Instead, the President was calling out Warren for her phony claims that she is a Native American.  Warren claimed to be a Cherokee about the time that she first tried to get employment on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Law School.  That phony claim is said to have cinched the deal for Warren to get hired at Penn.  When Warren switched jobs to work at Harvard Law School, she continued with the lies about her ethnic identity.  Harvard even identified her as the Law School's first professor who is a "woman of color."

When a woman running a local NAACP branch in Washington state turned out to be white after trying to pass herself off as black, she was condemned and disgraced.  That woman is said to have had mental problems that led to her assumed identity.  When a white woman trying to get a job at a law school falsely claims to be a Cherokee in order to gain preference in hiring and that is disclosed, she is neither condemned or disgraced.  This very intentional deception instead is supposed to be ignored.  Indeed, when the President calls out this liar for her phony claim of being Native American, her response is that President Trump is using a racial "slur".

Calling senator Warren "Pocahontas" is not a racial slur; not even close!  She's just a liar who has been caught and is trying to deflect attention from the truth.  Her friends in the media are helping her with this effort.  It's disgraceful.  They all should be ashamed.
