Immediately after President Donald Trump chose to honor Navajo Code Talkers by cracking a "Pocahontas" joke about Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Twitter all but exploded with incredulity.
"I'd like to honor you by joking about a racial slur against your people," film critic John Rogers tweeted, speculating about Trump's thought process when making his ill-conceived quip.
"He can't help himself," another user mused.
Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), meanwhile, noted that "Trump's Pocahontas remark in front of Navajo code talkers is offensive and shows his complete ignorance for Native American history during Native American Heritage Month."
