It’s Columbus Day. Sorry, Indigenous Peoples’ Day. To mark the occasion, the Trump War Room decided to have a little fun with everyone’s favorite indigenous person Elizabeth Warren:
Happy Indigenous People’s Day, Pocahontas! We hope you’re celebrating all 1/1024th of your heritage with your favorite recipe from Pow Wow Chow! https://t.co/72nlQ3EtUF pic.twitter.com/U3Wdfycc9M

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t think Elizabeth Warren pretty much had that swipe coming to her? Actually, yes. Quite a few people:
This is probably extremely funny to old people whose brains are quickly degrading into Swiss cheese

Republicans have traded any semblance of intelligence and have gone down this rabbit hole where acting juvenile and appealing to fifth grade educated adults is their play.

You don't deserve to hold this office. I'm ashamed that my child is growing up at this time in our history

This garbage is from the official campaign account. Everyone working for him is actively condoning constant racist trolling. https://t.co/66GUgnyyZZ

You are disgusting.

This, it’s fair to describe, is pretty gross. https://t.co/zaiSa074sj

There’s plenty more outrage where all that came from. Weirdly, though, those people don’t seem to have any outrage left over for the person who has actually done far more than Donald Trump and his team to offend indigenous people.
We agree: Elizabeth Warren lying about her heritage for personal gain IS pretty gross. https://t.co/LA1BUI6p2L

Yes. Warren’s cultural appropriation for personal gain at the expense of others is very gross!

Lying about your heritage for financial gain is definitely disgusting. Props for pointing that out.

So is stealing an ethnicity to advance your career and then trying to use a DNA test’s pathetic results to confirm your nonsense, only to have to apologize for your lies later

Elizabeth Warren lied about her race for decades to get ahead—she even published a plagiarized recipe in a cookbook literally called “Pow Wow Chow” to showcase her American Indian bonafides—but yes, it’s the mockery of her racist ethnic cosplay that’s bad. https://t.co/mgJEvFoC1Q

Agreed. Totally gross for her to lie and appropriate Native American heritage to advance her career. Even grosser are people who still defend her for it.
