Representative Jamie Ruskin (D-MD) said on MSNBC's “Versi” on Sunday that President Donald Trump should be criticized for calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “Pocahontas” during his speech to Congress.
Ruskin said, “It was a fair criticism you know, and we remained overwhelmingly unified throughout this. I think it's a valid criticism that there wasn't one strategic plan in Donald Trump's speech that night, whether it was a boycott, strike, sine wave, or interruption of Heckling. Of course, Biden treated it like a man and answered it. Donald Trump couldn't handle it because he had no verbal dexterity to respond, so he had to remove Al Greene.”
He added: “Al Greene was making a very strong, effective and substantial point. The majority of Democrats rejected the idea of censoring him. And really, if we were making fun of anyone, it should have been Donald Trump. Donald Trump didn't think he had been back in our room since he incited violent riots against us. And he used his pulpit to call a seated member of the United States Senate Pocahontas. So I think the racial and ethnic slur from the president was a much greater humiliation for the dignity and politeness of our room.”
