Seems not everyone is thinking Trump's "Pocahontas" comment was funny or in good taste. There is a Sioux leader who is speaking out about Trump's comments when he had the Navajo over to the awards ceremony.
17.11.29 Sioux Leader To Trump: 'Leave The Office You Bought And Take Your Swamp Things With You'
Harold Frazier, chairman of the South Dakota-based tribe, said he was “deeply ashamed” of Trump’s “disgusting” treatment of the World War II veterans and appeared to suggest that the president should resign.
“The President of the United States had an opportunity to honor veterans and bridge gaps in the relationship Tribes have with the Federal government,” Frazier said in a statement sent to HuffPost. “Instead, he chose to disgrace himself, his position and the nation he represents.”
Frazier continued, “The President of the United States wanted to utilize an opportunity to honor native warriors who defended this land to make a political attack. I have one for him, leave the office you bought and take your swamp things with you.”
