Franken says he would have told Trump calling Warren Pocahontas was 'racist'
By Rebecca Savransky - 02/12/17 12:37 PM EST


Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) on Sunday criticized President Trump for referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as "Pocahontas."

In an interview with CNN's "State of the Union," Franken said he would have "said something" to Trump about the way he referred to the Massachusetts senator.

When asked what he would have said, Franken 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 he would have told the president. "Something like that."

Last week, the president reportedly mocked Democrats in a meeting with senators for letting Warren become the face of their party.

"Pocahontas is now the face of your party," Trump said in the meeting, sources told CNN.
