Just hours after Elizabeth Warren announced she was running for president, Donald Trump appears to have referred to the Native American genocide of the Trail of Tears.
As might be expected, Donald Trump has his own ideas about Elizabeth Warren running for president, and only hours after she officially announced her campaign, the president took to Twitter to tease the Massachusetts senator about her Native American ancestry by allegedly making a joke about Native American genocide.
As Mother Jones has reported, as soon as it became public knowledge that Elizabeth Warren identified herself as a Native American by listing her ethnicity as an American Indian in the “race” field when she filled out a form for the State Bar of Texas back in 1986, Donald Trump gave her the nickname of “Pocahontas.”
According to Slate, after it was discovered that Warren had referred to herself as a Native American in Texas, conservative critics became angry at the idea that she had willfully lied about her ethnicity for over two decades, which meant that she was at one point listed as a minority at the Association of American Law Schools.
