The president also renewed his use of his racially charged nickname for Warren: Pocahontas.

Trump’s tweet refers to the massacre of more than 100 Native American men, women and children by U.S. Calvary troops in the late 19th century. The massacre has become a symbol of the brutality experienced by Native Americans under European-Americans.
The video is a snippet from an Instagram Live video Warren filmed from her kitchen. In it, the 2020 presidential contender casually drinks a beer and introduces her husband.
Trump shortly after the first message posted another tweet referring to the video as a “catastrophe.”
Best line in the Elizabeth Warren beer catastrophe is, to her husband, “Thank you for being here. I’m glad you’re here” It’s their house, he’s supposed to be there!

Trump earlier this month shared a mock campaign logo for Warren that took aim at her claims to Native American ancestry. The logo read “Warren 1/2020th,” a play on “Warren 2020” and the DNA test results Warren released in October that showed she had a Native American ancestor several generations ago.
Warren released the DNA information after Trump for months questioned whether she had Native American ancestry, calling her “Pocahontas” at multiple public events.
The Boston Globe reported in October that the results of the test indicate it is possible Warren is anywhere from 1/64th to 1/1,024th Native American.
Warren before the new year announced that she is forming an exploratory committee to run for the White House.
