U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), a far-left lunatic who received a preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden for his role on the House January 6 Committee, is calling for President Donald Trump to be censured for referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “Pocahontas” during last week’s congressional address. Trump has repeatedly used the nickname to mock Warren over the long-standing controversy surrounding her apparently false claims of Native American ancestry.
The former presidential candidate had for years touted her alleged Cherokee heritage, only for a DNA test to later debunk those claims. Warren formally apologized to the Cherokee Nation in 2019, though she has faced accusations of using her false heritage to gain a favorable admissions status for law school. From 1995 to 2004, Harvard Law School, her employer at the time, classified her as a Native American in its federal affirmative action filings. However, the university has denied that her claimed ancestry played any role in her hiring.
Due to the controversy surrounding her ancestry claims, Trump has frequently mocked Warren as “Pocahontas,” a nickname he reiterated during last week’s address. While he has used the term in conversations with Native American audiences—none of whom have publicly objected—Rep. Raskin is now accusing Trump of using a racial slur and is calling for his censure.
The issue arose when Raskin was asked about the conduct of his Democratic colleagues during the address, many of whom walked out or displayed anti-Trump signs in protest. “It’s a fair criticism you know, we’ve stayed overwhelmingly unified through this. I think it is a valid critique that we did not have one single strategic plan going into the Donald Trump’s address on that night,” the congressman told MSNBC, adding that U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) protested Biden’s State of the Union address.
Raskin: “Really, if we were censuring anyone, it should’ve been Donald Trump, who I don’t think had been back to our chamber since he incited a violence insurrection against us. And then he used his pulpit in order to call a sitting member of the Senate ‘Pocahontas.'” pic.twitter.com/EZO8zCROz1

“Of course, Biden dealt with that like a man and just responded to it. Donald Trump couldn’t handle it because he doesn’t have the verbal dexterity to respond, and so they had to have Al Green removed,” he whined during his Sunday appearance on the worst ‘news’ network currently on the air while providing a whitewashed analysis of his colleague’s outburst.
“Al Green was making a very strong, valid, substantive point, which is there is no mandate to destroy Medicaid. The vast majority of Democrats rejected the idea of censuring him. And really, if we were censuring anybody, it should have been Donald Trump, who I don’t think had been back to our chamber since he incited a violent insurrection against us,” the congressman ranted.
“And then he used his pulpit in order to call a sitting member of the United States Senate ‘Pocahontas.’ So I think a racial and ethnic slur from the president was a far greater insult to the dignity and decorum of our chamber,” Raskin complained.
The Maryland Democrat repeated the same false, debunked, and absurd claim that Trump and Republicans are looking to cut Medicaid — and Medicare and Social Security. Republicans have repeatedly stated, very loudly and very publicly, that cuts in benefits are not on the table, but that cutting waste, fraud, and abuse certainly is, and that’s something, frankly, Democrats should agree upon, given the country’s mounting $36 trillion national debt. But they won’t because they are stricken with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Jaimie Raskin is one of the most radical, partisan, left-wing members of Congress. He pretends to care about ‘the Constitution’ and ‘our democracy’ while literally discounting both when it is advantageous for his culture-destroying party. Maryland could and should do better than this hack who has little in the way of legislative accomplishments for sucking up a taxpayer salary for decades.
