He is calling her &#8220;Pocahontas&#8221; as an epithet.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s back up for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>The presumed GOP nominee Donald J. Trump is now going after Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who today campaigned alongside presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Well, Warren has declared that she has some Native American\u00a0heritage in her background. Trump doesn&#8217;t believe it. Thus, he has hung the &#8220;Pocahontas&#8221; label on her.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Republicans are now bringing out the man Warren defeated to become the U.S. senator from Massachusetts &#8212; former Sen. Scott Brown &#8212; to refute Warren&#8217;s claims of Native American heritage.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get this.<\/p>\n<p>Why is that even an issue? Why is Trump obsessing over whether Warren actually has a tiny bit of Native American heritage in her background.<\/p>\n<p>Warren is now being vetted as a potential running mate with Clinton. Rather than challenging her record as a U.S. senator, Trump has chosen to attack her ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>He calls her a &#8220;fraud&#8221; because she hasn&#8217;t proved that she actually has some Cherokee Indian ancestry in her background.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be clear here: Elizabeth Warren isn&#8217;t running for anything. She&#8217;s a surrogate for another accomplished woman, Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Shouldn&#8217;t the presumptive GOP nominee concentrate on policy differences he has with the presumptive Democratic nominee?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, wait! First, he needs to reveal that he has any policy views in the first place.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does this go?
