Senator Al Franken on Sunday blasted Donald Trump for referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”
During an interview with CNN’s State of the Union, Al Franken said he would have “said something” to Trump about the racist way he was referring to Warren.
When Franked was asked what he would have said he responded: “‘Mr. President, with all due respect, that’s racist.'”
“‘Don’t — please stop doing that. I’m on Indian Affairs. This is completely unacceptable. You really should stop doing this. It doesn’t serve anybody,'” Franken said. “Something like that.”
