Donald Trump referred to Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas again as he attacked her ancestry during a private meeting with senators, sources said Saturday.
The president, who previously used the insult on the campaign trail, told Democrat lawmakers Thursday: ‘Pocahontas is now the face of your party,’ CNN reported. He then claimed that the only reason she said she had Native American origins was due to her ‘high cheekbones’, a source told the network.
Trump’s comment came the day after GOP senators silenced Warren on the Senate floor by invoking a little-used rule while she spoke out against Jeff Sessions during his confirmation hearing to become attorney general.
The rebuke has prompted a wave of support for Waren among outraged Democrats.
