Pocahontas.com redirects to Warren campaign site

A supporter of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is turning the tables on Donald Trump’s favorite insult for the senator.

The website Pocahontas.com now redirects it to Warren’s campaign website — the handiworkwork of one of her supporters, according to the Washington Post.

{mosads}Trump often refers to Warren as “Pocahontas,” an allusion to controversy about her heritage that she faced during her 2012 Senate campaign. Warren claims she grew up being told she had Cherokee heritage but that hasn’t been proven.

“Pocahontas is at is again! Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth,” Trump tweeted Friday morning.

Warren and Trump have been targeting each other with insults in recent weeks. Warren brought their feud to a new level Thursday, calling Trump a “thin-skinned, racist bully” during a speech at the American Constitution Society convention in Washington.

“Donald Trump is a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who has never risked anything for anyone and who serves no one but himself,” she said.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Warren as “Pocahontas” as well as “Goofy Elizabeth Warren.”

Democrats have made an increased effort in recent days to use the internet and social media to tweak Trump.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted at Trump “delete your account” after he insulted her Thursday. And Warren followed suit a day later, responding to a Trump diss with “No, seriously — Delete your account.”
