One of the World War II Navajo Code talkers honored by President Donald Trump on Monday weighed in on Trump’s decision to mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) at the event.
President Trump was in the middle of honoring the veterans when he said, “We have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas.”
Trump’s remark was obviously directed at Warren, whom he has mocked before for lying about her Native American ancestry so she could obtain a teaching position at Harvard, where she was paid $350,000 per year.
CNN political analyst Joshua Green met with Thomas Begay – one of the veterans honored at the event – who said that while he was puzzled by the comment, he was not offended by it.
