Trump's 'Wounded Knee' tweet over Warren sparks anger

14 January 2019

US President Donald Trump is facing criticism once again for taunting Democrat Elizabeth Warren over her purported Native American heritage.

On Sunday, Mr Trump said the senator, a 2020 presidential hopeful, should have filmed a commercial "from Bighorn or Wounded Knee" in "full Indian garb".

Wounded Knee was one of the worst native massacres in US history.

Native Americans have decried Mr Trump's language, calling it insensitive and racist.

Mr Trump's barb was a response to an Instagram live by Ms Warren on New Year's Eve, just after she announced she was running for president.

Yes, that's just a rhetorical question. But every time you think he's hit rock-bottom he manages to go lower. I remember seventh-grade bullies who had more class and restraint.

The kind of filth that lingers even after a good scouring. Nothing is ever quite the same once Trump filth takes hold.

You and I and most sane people reflect upon Wounded Knee as "one of the worst native American massacres in history"

The fucking Retrumplican Party and their fucking deplorable asspickles on hate-radio and at Faux News see Wounded Knee as "one of America's greatest triumphs"

This will increase his approval among those with no soul...i.e. The entire fucked-up Retrumplican Party.

Hell, they turned "PC" into a pejorative term just like they did with "SJW". It's what they do, and everyone just goes along with it. They laugh their fucking heads off about it when someone gets pissed. You can bet that over on their forums they are loving every minute of it.

Between you and me, I see no reason why we should be civil ever again. We need a suitable name for them, one they can't turn around to their advantage. Maybe "shitstains on humanity's underwear" or "SSHU"?
