Mother Jones @MotherJones 10m10 minutes agoHere's the worst defense of Trump's "Pocahontas" remarks, brought to you by his adult son. The other one. http://bit.ly/2hZTj0m
In an apparent attempt to best his older brother for worst Twitter takes, Eric Trump on Tuesday defended his fathers usage of Pocahontas to mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during a White House event honoring Native American veterans a day earlier.
The tweet comes amid widespread condemnation over Trumps unscripted remarks, which he made while standing in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson. Warren swiftly criticized Trump for the racial slur, adding that his attempts to silence her would not work.
The irony of an ABC reporter (whose parent company Disney has profited nearly half a billion dollars on the movie Pocahontas) inferring that the name is offensive is truly staggering to me.

One of the late-night comics made the point that maybe your older brother is really the dumber of the two of you. Don't let us change our minds.

Until then, we will continue to grimace and roll our eyes at his catlike reflexes in a doglike world.
