'Pocahontas Is Lucky She Didn't Break a Hip'
Elizabeth Warren was ridiculed in online comments for not landing 'Indian style' like a true Native American would have.
Comments began to get nasty, though, when many took a second dig at Warren by calling her “Pocahontas,” referring to her former claim that she is Native American.
“I thought American Indians were surefooted. They sure proved that Pocahontas is not,” wrote one.
“She should have just sat down ‘Indian style,’” another joked.
“Pocahontas is lucky she didn’t break a hip!” exclaimed a third.
Ted Cruz Questions If Elizabeth Warren Is a Man
Ted Cruz previously made fun of Elizabeth Warren in 2022 for being a man.
Not more than three years earlier, Cruz suggested Warren was actually a man. While speaking at the Basque Fry in Nevada in 2022, the Texas senator recalled Warren’s previous remark about not receiving the votes she deserves solely based on her being female instead of male.
“Elizabeth Warren told reporters that a guy came up to her and said, ‘I would have voted for you if only you had a p----,’” Cruz stated of Warren.
“In today’s Democrat Party, how do we know she doesn’t?” he continued. “How could you possibly know? ‘My name is Elizabeth. Call me Bob.’”
