     I'm sure the first time you said it, if your wife was offended by it you would have stopped. Most people don't go out of there way to offend others on purpose. That's just one of the ways where Trump is different than most human beings.

That’s cute.  Especially given that you have been on CEHST for years...

    That's nice. Many people have been on the site for years. I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you referring to something specific, or is that a general comment?

The Native Americans who were present are probably more offended by her appropriating and falsely claiming their cultural heritage as her own.  She is a liar and a fake.  She obviously has her own mental illness issues.

Isn't that the real issue here, Elizabeth Warren's cultural appropriation for political gain?  I remember some young entrepreneurs out West that were driven out of business when they were trying to sell "Mexican" food from a food truck when they were not from Mexico.

  The real issue is a president should be able to honor WWII veterans without using the occasion to take petty and demeaning shots at someone who he has personal issues. The guy may be president, but a baboon raised by hyena's would act more presidential. It's unfortunate Mr Bigly just can't act the part. Not even once, can he take the high road.

Wasn't he honoring Navaho's?  I thought Pocahontas was a Powhatan?

  If he is honoring them just do that. Plenty of time to play jackass with political "opponents" later. Twitter is 24/7.

Trump's comments were offensive to the Native Americans he was to honor.

Do you know if the Navaho are friendly toward the Powhatans?

[Dunngary 37]

The comment was offensive because of its nature and intent.  You're trying to deflect.

Maybe she is of the generation who has yet to realize that those stories about random Native American ancestors were just romanticized historical fetishism by their relatives.  My mother used to tell me that I was part Native Canadian when I was younger... my grandmother literally spent 2 years in Canada on the way to New York.     Now that Warren has repeated the ancestry lie, it is hard to go back on it.

You said “Most people don't go out of there (their) way to offend others on purpose.“. Obviously this isn’t accurate.
