Angela Rye: ‘Pocahontas, In and of Itself Is Not a Racial Slur’

EXCERPT:

RYE: "Yes. John, so I think it's really important for us to be able to stay on this particular issue, especially when the retort is one that's not rooted in any sort of fact. The most important thing that I think we need to acknowledge about yesterday is, number one, Pocahontas in and of itself is not a racial slur. The way in which President Trump continues to insult Elizabeth Warren by attacking someone who is deemed as royalty to Indian country, to native people in this country, is very, very frustrating, it's disrespectful. I cannot imagine what the folks who were at the White House to be honored yesterday were feeling.
