https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html#the-letter-W

June 28: Donald Trump likes to give nicknames to his critics, and one of his favorite nicknames for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is “Pocahontas,” which he has been using on and off in recent weeks. On June 27, the first time Warren and Hillary Clinton spoke together at a campaign rally since Warren endorsed Clinton earlier this month, Trump re-upped this nickname.

November 28: Trump Pocahontas Slur: The President Has a Long History of Insulting Native Americans

President Donald Trump [spoke] during an event honoring members of the Native American code talkers in the Oval Office of the White House on November 27 in Washington, D.C. Trump stated, "You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas" in reference to his nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren, considered a racial slur by many Native Americans.

In [that] ceremony to honor Native American veterans at the White House Monday, Trump provoked the ire of groups representing North America’s indigenous communities.

November 27: "It is deeply unfortunate that the President of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur. Donald Trump does this over and over thinking somehow he is going to shut me up with it. It hasn't worked out in the past, it isn't going to work out in the future," Warren told MSNBC shortly after Trump's remark.

Pocahontas was a historical figure from the 17th Century and using her name in an intentionally disparaging way insults native peoples and degrades their cultures. The largest Native American advocacy group has said that is why it has condemned the President's usage in this manner.

Looking on as Trump derided Warren and heralded the three Navajo World War II heroes was a portrait of Andrew Jackson, a former president who signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

November 28: McCain: Trump's 'Pocahontas' crack an insult to Native American veterans' sacrifice ...

"Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Navajo Code Talkers, whose bravery, skill & tenacity helped secure our decisive victory over tyranny & oppression during WWII," McCain tweeted.

"Politicizing these genuine American heroes is an insult to their sacrifice."

July 7:
Women's rights lawyer Gloria Allred slammed President Trump during an awards gala on Friday, demanding the president keep his "hands off Elizabeth Warren."

Allred's comments during an acceptance speech at the National Organization for Women's awards ceremony came after Trump attacked Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during a campaign rally this week.

"Mr. Trump, #MeToo is alive and well. Keep your hands off Elizabeth Warren and every mother and her daughter," Allred said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Allred also attacked the president over charges from Democrats that his forthcoming Supreme Court nominee would likely be in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark case legalizing abortion across the country.

"It is very personal to me because ... I was one of the millions of women who was forced to have an unsafe abortion," Allred said, adding that she "almost bled to death in a bathtub and had to be taken to the hospital."

"We're going to have to fight for our rights, plantation by plantation. State by state. And who's going to be the most vulnerable? It's women," she said.

October 15: DNA test finds 'strong evidence' of Native American blood

She took the test after President Donald Trump taunted her in speeches, calling her a "fake Pocahontas" and challenging her to take the test.

The DNA test suggests Ms Warren has a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations.

October 15: When Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren released the results of a DNA test proving her Native American ancestry, she called President Donald Trump's bluff. He had promised to donate $1 million to the charity of her choice if she did just that — and it turns out she knows just where she wants the money to go. The charity Elizabeth Warren wants Donald Trump to donate to is the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC). They work to end gender-based and domestic violence perpetrated against Native American women.

October 16: One of the innumerable ways in which Donald Trump has degraded American politics is his habit of relentlessly using belittling nicknames for his political opponents. Seizing on a superficial or imagined characteristic — “Liddle Marco,” “Low-Energy” Jeb Bush, etc. — he repeats it, like a middle-school bully, recruiting his sycophants to circulate the meme.

Axios reports that Trump is especially pleased with his insulting of Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, a contender for the 2020 Democratic nomination. Axios brings us word that behind the scenes the bully-in-chief and his lackeys are chortling about their success. “Trump’s nicknames slyly capitalize on and exacerbate a real or perceived weakness: A former aide said: ‘You hear them and laugh, and then they say: ‘You know what? He’s kinda right!’,’” it reports, adding in the news outlet’s signature “Be Smart” coda: “Be smart … Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ nickname, as offensive as it may be, has been wickedly effective from his point of view.”

October 16: Cherokee official says Trump-Warren DNA debate not helping tribe

A DNA test showing that Sen. Elizabeth Warren has Native American ancestry is "completely irrelevant to the process" of determining her tribal identity, the Cherokee secretary of state told NPR's Morning Edition.

Chuck Hoskin was also critical of President Trump, saying he "should not be calling her 'Pocahontas,' " but "should be looking into what the needs of Indian country are, because the needs are there."

Undated: Tribal Enrollment and Genetic Testing

When the NCAI Policy Research Center began developing this resource guide, tribal leaders asked many questions such as, “What is genetic testing? What are good sources of information about genetic testing? What kinds of DNA testing can we use for tribal enrollment? How do we respond to individuals claiming tribal membership based on DNA tests?” This paper was developed to provide tribal leaders with more information on genetic testing related to tribal enrollment. Tribes are sovereign nations and so will decide their own views on genetic testing. This paper provides information to assist in those decisions. [Note that Elizabeth Warren is not said to have asked for tribal memebership]

October 19: US Senator Elizabeth Warren, who made headlines this month by releasing a DNA test showing American Indian ancestry, would defeat President Donald Trump by two percentage points in a hypothetical 2020 presidential election, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports on Friday.

October 19: President Donald Trump resurrected his derogatory "Pocahontas" nickname for Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and joked he could no longer use it after a DNA test report suggested she merely had trace amounts of Native American ancestry in her DNA.

"I can't call her Pocahontas," Trump added. "She doesn't qualify ... I've been saying it for a long time. I've been saying it for a year and a half. I said, 'I have more Indian blood than she has and I have none! I have none!'"

Warren has long contended that she has Native American ancestry, a claim that has been met with skepticism, particularly by Trump. Warren attempted to silence her skeptics by taking a DNA test, which her campaign then publicized with a video and supporting documents.

October 22:
Elizabeth Warren says her name-calling is different than Donald Trump’s

"What we're really talking about is hatefulness against groups."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says that President Donald Trump’s constant personal attacks won’t work and that the ever-growing list of things and people he has insulted is a distraction from more important issues, from corruption to child care.

However, the Massachusetts Democrat’s record when it comes to name-calling isn’t exactly spotless, either.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Warren and Trump exchanged increasingly vitriolic words, during which she mocked his Twitter style and called the then-candidate a “loser,” a “small, insecure money-grubber,” a “loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud,” “the large orange elephant in the room,” and so on.

Warren didn’t stop with the colorful language since Trump’s election, either.

October 22: Elizabeth Warren slams Trump administration's reported push to roll back transgender protections

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, pledged Monday to "fight for anti-discrimination provisions," including those that protect transgender individuals.

The senator, following an event in Springfield, spoke out against reports that the Trump administration is considering defining gender as a biological condition determined at birth -- a move which some have argued could undo Obama-era protections for transgender individuals.

October 22: Rumor Mill: Progressive Duo Bernie Sanders And Elizabeth Warren May Have Something Up Their Sleeve

There is now growing speculation that the two may come together to run against Trump. The idea simple: they want to unify their base instead of fracturing the progressive vote and allowing a more moderate Democrat to win the party ticket.

“I suspect that in the coming weeks and months, there will be discussions," Sanders said about a potential progressive unification.

Progressive voters seem to be fond of the idea, too.

November 7: U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren opened her Wednesday night lecture at Brown University with a story she said was both about family and about government.

“I grew up in a family that was a paycheck-to-paycheck family,” the Democrat from Massachusetts said, speaking to a packed lecture hall at the Salomon Center for Teaching.

Warren’s mother had to support her four children on a minimum wage job at Sears after Warren’s father suffered a heart attack and had to leave the workforce. Her mother’s sole income paid the bills and put food on the table, she said.

“That minimum-wage job saved our home and it saved our family,” said Warren, who was reelected on Tuesday to a second term. “That’s the story written on my heart, and for years and years and years I’ve thought of that as a story about what you do for your family.”

Back to top


But it’s also a story about government, she said, because thanks to the policy of the time, the minimum wage was at a rate that allowed a family to reach middle class.

“Today, a minimum wage job in America will not keep a mama and a baby out of poverty,” she said. “It will not cover a median, two-bedroom apartment in any county in America.”
