Current Events > Elizabeth POCAHONTAS Warren attended, spoke at Native American conference

(+) Yeah! (+)

WASHINGTON Senator Elizabeth Warren made a surprise appearance at the National Congress of American Indians Wednesday morning, forcefully responding to President Trumps derisively calling her Pocahontas and addressing her claims of Native American heritage more directly and far more expansively than she ever has before.

She did not apologize for her claims that her mothers family had Cherokee blood instead, reaffirming: My mothers family was part Native American. And my daddys parents were bitterly opposed to their relationship. So, in 1932, when Mother was 19 and Daddy had just turned 20, they eloped.

The story they lived will always be a part of me, she planned to say, according to a copy of her prepared remarks. And no one not even the president of the United States will ever take that part of me away.

She repeatedly referred to Trumps insensitivity, not only in calling her Pocahontas but in doing it last year during an event at the White House meant to honor Navajo code-talker veterans of World War II.

The joke, I guess, is supposed to be on me, she said. I get why some people think theres hay to be made here. You wont find my family members on any rolls, and Im not enrolled in a tribe. And I want to make something clear. I respect that distinction. I understand that tribal membership is determined by tribes and only by tribes.

But even though her speech was planned in advance, Warren was not listed on the agenda. The Republican National Committee on Tuesday morning even blasted out an e-mail with the subject: Fauxcahontas MIA From Major Native American Summit.

Why is she skipping the conference? the RNC asked. Maybe its because she would face some difficult questions at the summit.

little miss Pocahontas has no shame #TrumpThatB****

I don't TC knows why he's upset. He just has a bunch of feelings about Warren speaking at a summit that he can't explain.
