Mocks #MeToo movement while taunting Elizabeth Warren with "Pocahontas" at Montana rally
At a campaign rally in Great Falls, Montana on July 5, 2018, Trump repeated his "Pocahontas" nickname for Senator Elizabeth Warren, referencing her disputed claims of Native American ancestry. Describing a hypothetical debate scenario in which he would hand Warren a DNA-testing kit, Trump said he would "slowly toss it" to her before adding, "We have to do it gently. Because we're in the #MeToo generation, so I have to be very gentle." The remark used the #MeToo movement, formed around allegations of sexual misconduct, as a punchline for a bit about hurling an object at a female senator. Warren responded on Twitter that while Trump focused on her ancestry, his administration was conducting DNA tests on migrant children it had separated from their parents.
