American Indians Outraged Over Clinton "Off The Reservation" Comment

Hillary Clinton drew ire from Native Americans on Saturday over her use of the phrase “off the reservation” in a CNN interview.
Activists pointed to the saying’s dark origins in late-19th-century laws restricting Native Americans to reservation lands.
“When reservations were first established, going #OffTheReservation meant you were going to be hunted down and killed,” Ruth Hopkins tweeted.
The social-media firestorm forced Clinton’s campaign to apologize — also on Twitter.

Maybe Hitlery will have to add Pocahontas Warren to the ticket to assuage those hurt feelings.

If she were a Republican the media would have her scalp for this. She's almost as eloquent as Slow-Joe Biden.

Oh for heaven's sake. Is there any group that whines more than Native Americans at the least perceived slight? What a petted bunch of babies.
