POCAHONTAS IS NOT HAPPY.
SHE IS THE WORST.
YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE.
YOU WERE HERE LONG BEFORE OF ANY
US WERE HERE.
THOUGH WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE

LONG TIME AGO, THEY CALL HER
POCAHONTAS.
JESSE: ELIZABETH WARREN IS
ACCUSED OF LYING ABOUT HER

THE UNIVERSITY CELEBRATED HER AS
THE FIRST MINORITY WOMAN TO
RECEIVE TENURE.
REBECCA, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HEAR FROM SENATOR WARREN?
