Trump makes racist remark at Navajo event

Donald Trump has a history of making racist comments about Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Native American ancestry - but this time he did it at an event for Navajo veterans.

At the White House event for Navajo code talkers who served during World War II, Trump referred to the Massachusetts Democrat as "Pocahontas."

Then Trump condescendingly put his hand on a code talker's shoulder and declared, "But you know what, I like you. You are special people."

Attendees of the event fell silent in shock.

Warren later said, "It is deeply unfortunate that the President of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur. Donald Trump does this over and over thinking somehow he is going to shut me up with it. It hasn't worked out in the past, it isn't going to work out in the future." The National Congress of American Indians had previously condemned Trump's ongoing remarks on Warren.
