President Donald Trump said today that he plans to revive an old attack strategy on Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren: 'Pocahontas'
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he planned to revive an old attack strategy on Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, focusing on her contentious past claims of Native American heritage.
“Like, Elizabeth Warren — I did the Pocahontas thing,” Trump said during a New Hampshire rally Thursday. “I hit her really hard and it looked like she was down and out but that was too long ago, I should’ve waited. But don’t worry, we will revive it.”Trump mocked Warren in the early days of her candidacy for previously claiming Native American heritage and taking a DNA test to prove her claims.
Though controversial at the start of her candidacy at the beginning of the year, the issue of her heritage has since faded from public attention. Still, that hasn’t stopped Trump from calling the Massachusetts senator “Pocahontas” at many of his rallies — a moniker that has been widely panned as racist.
Trump said on Thursday that he regretted going after her on her claims of heritage so soon and that he would renew the line of attack going forward. Warren has proved a growing threat to the Trump campaign with her own populist message to counter the president’s.
