3 Martini Lunch

Good Riddance to Gutierrez, Project Veritas Flop, Trump & ‘Pocahontas’

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are thrilled to see Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez planning to leave Congress and take his toxic, divisive immigration rhetoric with him. They also slam Project Veritas for trying to plant a fake accusation against Roy Moore with the Washington Post in an attempt to discredit the Post's earlier stories on Moore. And they they sigh as President Trump takes a political shot at Elizabeth Warren by calling her 'Pocahontas' while honoring Navajo Code Talkers from World War II at the White House, not because Warren doesn't deserve criticism for her suspect claims of Cherokee heritage but for injecting politics into a a ceremony that should have been free of it.

    When the Elizabeth Warren story first came out, someone on Ricochet suggested that her name should be "Dances with Quotas". It's a lot more funny than "Fauxcahontas" and less susceptible to misunderstanding. And it hits the political nail right on the head by attacking both Warren and quotas at the same time. But regardless of anything else you are absolutely right: Never bring up politics at a ceremony honoring those who served our country.
