Navajo Nation president: Yes, Trump quip is an ethnic slur
By John Bowden - 11/28/17 12:12 PM EST

President Trump's use of the name "Pocahontas" to refer to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) is an ethnic slur, the president of the Navajo Nation said Tuesday.

In an interview with CNN's "New Day," Russell Begaye said that Trump's use of the term repeatedly in the past as well as on Monday during an event honoring Navajo code talkers was “uncalled for.”

“I feel that the way it was used, yes, it was [a racial slur],” Begaye told CNN.

My g-grandmother was Cherokee and I'm not offended.

Pocahantas was also from a different tribe.
