CNN’s Jim Acosta ROASTED for Fake ‘Fact Check’ About ‘Pocahontas’ Being a Racial Slur
CNN’s Jim Acosta never learns. Instead of reporting the facts, something Acosta’s network is challenged at doing, the “reporter,” tries to play ‘Mr. Moral Authority,’ and fails every single time.
After Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders denied the term ‘Pocahontas,’ used by the President in reference to Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) at an event with Navajo Code Talkers, Acosta ‘fact checked,’ that the term is in fact racist. Acosta provided no proof of a fact check, of course.
“WH press sec says “Pocahontas” is not a racial slur. (Fact check: it is.),” tweeted Acosta.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, during the ceremony to honor these American patriots Trump jabbed fake Indian Elizabeth Warren.
President Trump: I just want to thank you because you’re very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas. And you know what? I like you because you are special.
Of course, the liberal media thought this was the worst comment made in television.
After Acosta’s non-existent fact check, he was roasted on Twitter.

You’re more outraged over Trump’s Pocahontas comment than Warren's history of racist appropriation and deception to advance her career?

Nope. Wrong again Jim.

Newsflash: Elizabeth Warren (AKA "Pochahontas") is NOT a Native American! She just wants to be one. @ShepNewsTeam got it all wrong. POTUS was saying how he respects REAL NATIVE AMERICANS. There was no awkward silence in the room." CAN'T YOU BE OBJECTIVE?

Ricky Racoon says, you've go some 'SPLAININ' TO DO! I'm DOUBLING DOWN: It's not a racial slur! Jim needs to show us his "fact check" that it's a slur. How so? #FACT-CHECK-ACOSTA pic.twitter.com/JNcvqcsf1m

Shittest "fact check" ever.
She's a fake "Native American". A fraud. Pretending. That's the whole point of the joke. Get it? Good.

Fact Check: Claiming to be Native American when you are not for financial gain is far worse then a nickname. (True).
Pathetic you don't even address that fact. This is what liberal fake reporters do.

Actually, it’s not. He is misusing her name (Pochahantas has an important place in US history. And she wasn’t Cherokee, she was Powhatan) But we wouldn’t even be having this discussion if @SenWarren hadn’t of lied about her heritage.
