Raskin: Trump Should Be Censured for Racial Pocahontas Slur

Pam Keyv9 Mar 2025

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that President Donald Trump should be censured for calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “Pocahontas” during his address to Congress.

Raskin said, “It’s a fair criticism you know, we’ve stayed overwhelmingly unified through this. I think it is a valid critique that we did not have one single strategic plan going into the Donald Trump’s address on that night, whether it was boycott, walkout, sign waving, heckling interruption which is what Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly did to Joe Biden. Of course, Biden dealt with that like a man and just responded to it. Donald Trump couldn’t handle it because he doesn’t have the verbal dexterity to respond, and so they had to have Al Green removed.”

He added, “Al Green was making a very strong, valid, substantive point, which is there is no mandate to destroy Medicaid. The vast majority of Democrats rejected the idea of censuring him. And really, if we were censuring anybody, it should have been Donald Trump, who I don’t think had been back to our chamber since he incited a violent insurrection against us. And then he used his pulpit in order to call a sitting member of the United States Senate Pocahontas. So I think a racial and ethnic slur from the president was a far greater insult to the dignity and decorum of our chamber.”

Calling a supposedly *American Indian* Senator, Pocahontas is a slur?...Apparently Raskin needs to read up on Pocahontas..known for helping Jamestown colonists.

Rascal somehow apparently  has his sticky fingers involved with $160M USAID fraud.  That should be more of a worry to him.

GREAT! Let's rehash that Warren is a liar and a thief to the world again. Hell yes!
She lied about being American Indian for financial benefit.
Warren STOLE benefits which were intended for "real" native Americans.
Liz warren is a full blown piece of shit. If the Dems want to this again ... then let's do it!

Had no idea he even made one. We've really sort of debased ourselves since Reagan no? Idiocracy.

We are living in the Age of Trolling, where political decorum is a thing of the past.  But think about it.  It really was the left that has instigated this process in earnest the past 10-15 years.

Like it or not, the whole dang thing now is a pig pen.

Sure it's a tit for tat thing at this point. Thinking back to the W years certainly your point comes to mind.

Say the guy that advocates revolution. Sorry Jaimah if we don't follow your little woke bible.

[Cyber Liberty]

Go ahead and file a motion to Censure then, Jaime.

[DCPatriot]

Next time he should call her a cucaracha.

Warren seemed rather thrilled with the shout-out.

Wait. Whoa.

Trump owes Pocahontas an apology.

Unlike Warren, she was a real Native.

Calling Warren "Pocahontas" implies that the historical figure was fake, and she wasn't.

Shame on you for your tall tales.
Pocohantas lied that she was part Indian to get $400,000 to teach a single class at Harvard.  She is a disgrace and you make excuses for her.
Al Green is a cave man and looks like one, acts like one.
Did ou recommend Joe Biden for "censure" when he called all of us "garbage?"
No.
When Hillary called all of us "deporables?"

No.
Leftists call us "nazis and racists" constantly.  No call for censure from you, that's for sure.

[Wingnut]

Yo Chemo Brain, This all started because Al Green shook his Pimp Cane at Trump.  Sit down and shut up you big hockey puck.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Elizabeth Warren should be censured for lying about being Native American on her Texas bar registration form.

[GtHawk]

Look, Trump was terribly wrong calling Warren Pocahontas, it’s Fauxcahontas!

As far as Raskin,

[WhatWouldReaganDo]

Look, Trump was terribly wrong calling Warren Pocahontas, it’s Fauxcahontas!

As far as Raskin,

True.
Fauxcahontas or Lieawatha are both clever nicknames.
Too clever for Trump, apparently.

[mountaineer]

Raskin is such an incredible nitwit.

[verga]

Next time he should call her a cucaracha. 

Then the Hispanics will get mad.

Smokin Joe,

Calling Warren "Pocahontas" implies that the historical figure was fake, and she wasn't.

His calling her Pocahontas makes no such implication.  Everyone that has been paying attention knows that Sen Warren lied repeatedly to gain prime high paying positions by claiming she is Native American.  It was an unabashed lie.  And I am sorry, Trump or anyone else reminding her she is a liar and thief, nothing wrong with that at all.  NOTHING!!!!!!

And it is not a denigration of Pocahontas.

And I do like the other names mentioned upstream in the thread. 

And the absolute irony of it all was that she sat there laughing her head off.  Maybe she had more than a couple beers before coming that night, or perhaps a couple toks!  She is a major POS and does not belong in Congress, but like all the other liars in Congress, their constituents keep voting for them over and over again.

[mountaineer]

Then the Hispanics will get mad.

Well, it's not like anyone called her a breakfast taco.

ROFL!  Top shelf, there!
