President Trump has been known for insulting everyone who gets in his way or insults him first. If that person ever happens to be a minority, the media jumps for joy. Because then they can try to paint Trump as a racist. When really, in Ivanka Trump’s words, Donald is an ‘equal-opportunity offender’.
Fox’s Juan Williams declared that Trump is a racist for calling Elizabeth Warren ‘Pocahontas’ in front of Navajo Native Americans. “ [Trump] finds it just very valuable politically to attack people of color in this country, and he does so and then says, ‘I’m not racist…’” said Williams.
Gutfeld immediately challenged this claim. “Like Paul Ryan, what color is Paul Ryan? What color is Hillary Clinton? What color is Marco Rubio?” asked Gutfeld.
“What I am saying is he finds political advantage and value in making whipping boys out of people of color, and in this case, I think he went after her in a way that even now Indians, Navajo Indians, said was insensitive and they considered it a slur,” said Williams.
However, at least a few Navajo Indians disagree with Williams. According to Thomas Begay, a Navajo Code Talker, he did not find the term offensive. “The Marines made us yell ‘Geronimo’ when we jumped out of planes and that didn’t offend me either,” said Begay.
