Oh boy, here we go again. Another classic case of a so-called journalist embarrassing themselves in public and then slamming the escape hatch shut by turning off comments. This time, it was Reuters White House correspondent Nandita Bose, who thought she had landed a devastating blow against Trump—only to get wrecked by a community note instead.
President Trump: “Pocohantas says yes” to 5 more years of war with Ukraine. 🪖
I think Elizabeth Warren secretly likes it when President Trump calls her Pocohantas and singles her out.
She is trying not to smile. 😂 pic.twitter.com/n97J6H9ziY— Jan Evelyn✝️📖🌻🤺🇺🇸AmericaFirst Never Surrender (@JEM_Books) March 5, 2025
So what was the offense? During Trump’s address to Congress, he took a swipe at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), reviving his famous nickname for her: “Pocahontas.” Now, anyone who has been awake for the last seven years knows exactly why Trump calls her that. But not Bose. She rushed to X (formerly Twitter) to clutch her pearls:
“’Pocahontas’: First racial slur in a Joint Address,” she declared.

Except—oops—that’s not true. And X users wasted no time setting the record straight with a brutal community note that put Bose’s complete lack of historical context on full display:
“Trump did not call Sen. Warren ‘Pocahontas’ because she is Native American. He called her that because she is not, but claimed to be. Sen. Warren apologized to the Cherokee Nation for attempting to use a DNA test to prove she had Native American heritage 6-10 generations ago.”
Boom.
This is not a racial slur. It’s a reference to one of the most humiliating self-owns in modern political history. Warren lied for decades about being Native American, used it to advance her career, and then tried to justify it with a DNA test that backfired spectacularly—revealing she was at best 1/1024th Native American. Even the Cherokee Nation called her out for it.

But instead of acknowledging reality, Bose did what every good legacy media hack does when caught red-handed: turned off the comments. Because when your take is this bad, there’s no debating it—you just run and hide.
