The mainstream media has once again gone after President Donald Trump — but this time, Trump has an unsuspected supporter backing him.
Navajo Code Talker Thomas Begay has broken his silence on Trump referring to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”
The media is wrong. He’s not offended at all.
The feud between Trump and Warren began when he pointed out the liberal senator lied about being a minority. Warren famously claimed that she was Native American just so that she could get a teaching gig at Harvard — and raked in an estimated $350,000 salary.
Well, for the person who keeps whining about being mistreated by Trump, Warren has not gained any support from American Indians.
While honoring Navajo Code Talkers on Monday, Trump said, “We have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas.”
While speaking with CNN political analyst Joshua Green, Thomas Begay explained that he was not offended by Trump’s remark.
Just met Thomas Begay who was "puzzled" but not offended by Trump's Pocahontas quip: "The Marines made us yell 'Geronimo' when we jumped out of planes + that didn't offend me either." pic.twitter.com/6wOonggocE

Warren fired back at Trump’s statement while appearing on CNN. She said that she was the victim of a “racial slur.”
“There he was, at a ceremony to honor Native Americans, men who have really put it all on the line to save American lives, to save lives of people, our allies, during World War II, really amazing people,” Warren said. “President Trump couldn’t even make it through a ceremony to honor these men without throwing in a racial slur.”
Enough of the whining and crying, Warren. Not even real Native Americans care to listen to your unnecessary complaints.
Kudos to you, Thomas Begay.
You are a true American hero!
