During her run for Senate in 2012, Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) became a controversial and polarizing figure over her claim that she is a minority because of her Native American heritage.
Warren, however, was unable to prove her heritage. Many critics claimed that she listed herself as a minority on employment applications to bolster herself, but evidence also showed that Warren didn’t benefit from her claim of being a minority, either.
Four years into her Senate term, the controversy surrounding Warren’s heritage has ramped up mostly because of President Donald Trump’s insistence of referring to Warren, a very progressive Democrat who is extremely outspoken against Trump, as “Pocahontas.”
Speaking at a National Rifle Association convention on Friday, Trump told a rousing crowd that “it may be Pocahontas” who he has to run against in the 2020 presidential election.

It wasn’t the first time Trump referred to Warren by the name, but outrage from Democrats ensued Friday afternoon.
“Trump calling Warren Pocahontas is racist. We kind of gloss over it at this point. But this is the president being racist,” wrote Sam Stein, senior editor of politics at HuffPost, on Twitter.
