Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) panned President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress as “a fantasy” after the president called her by the derogatory name “Pocahontas” while touting his plan to end the war in Ukraine.
Warren shook her head when asked if she was surprised about being singled out by Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress.
“No,” she said. “The whole speech was a fantasy that Donald Trump tries to construct.”
She noted that “Ukrainians have been on the front lines for three years” and that she had visited the war-torn country and spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and combat veterans.
“And Donald Trump is determined to throw in with Vladimir Putin,” she said.
Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) said Trump’s mockery of Warren was “low-rent” and unpresidential.
“That’s kind of a low-rent thing you don’t expect from a president of the United States,” he said.
