POTUS called Sen. Warren "Pocahontas" in April 2017. The bi-partisan National Congress of the American Indians said "we cannot and will not stand silent when our Native ancestors, cultures, and histories are used in a derogatory manner for political gain.”
Continued NCAI: “the name of Pocahontas should not be used as a slur...we hoped that President Trump would refrain from using this name as a pejorative term and other such terms that insult Native peoples and degrade their cultures in order to score political points."
NCAI is the oldest & largest American Indian and Alaska Native organization, and that's what they think of the president using that slur, @PressSec & @POTUS.

Oh- and for anyone wondering, here's NCAI on the 2012 Massachusetts Senate race:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained that “there’s no contradiction whatsoever” in the shifting Syria strategy since President Trump’s initial announcement of US withdrawal.
“This is a story made up by the media.”
2/“...That’s fine, you all write what you like, but the President’s been very clear, and Ambassador Bolton and I have been very clear about this too, that the threat from radical Islamic terrorism is real. ISIS continues – we fight them in many regions around the country...
3/“... Our commitment to prevent Daesh growth, ISIS’ growth, is real. It’s important. We will continue at that,” he said in Cairo.
“We’re going to do it in a way in one particular place, Syria, differently. The United States’ decision, President Trump’s decision to withdraw..

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

While watching President Trump deliver #SOTU, and as I started to feel the groundswell of pride in our great Country, a poem by T.S. Eliot came to mind.

To be more precise, the poem came to mind while watching the shameful behavior of the #DemocraticParty leadership and members of the #CongressionalBlackCaucus.

The poem came to mind while watching Rep. Luis Gutierrez .@RepGutierrez, Democrat representing 4th District of Illinois and member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus walk out of #SOTU.
