Maybe he was being considerate… but the odds are he was just being cheeky.
In a Saturday letter first obtained by Fox Business that was “snarky at times,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wished Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) a “Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day in advance to you and your family.”
The jab, which came at the end of Bessent’s letter, was an obvious reference to Warren claiming she is Native American — a claim which President Donald Trump has mocked for years by sardonically nicknaming her “Pocahontas.”
To shut the president’s yap back in 2018, Warren got a DNA analysis done which showed she had a “pure Native American ancestor who probably lived six to 10 generations ago,” according to the AP. That would make Warren roughly 1/64th Native American, or 1.56% on the high end, or 1/1,024th, which would be about 0.098% on the low end. The AP reported it was “impossible to determine” what tribe Warren’s ancestor belonged to.
Bessent’s well wishes came two days before Columbus Day — or Indigenous Peoples’ Day, as Columbus haters prefer to celebrate.
On Friday, Trump unveiled a 13-foot marble statue of Columbus at the White House, which is a replica of a piece toppled by protesters in 2020.
“I resurrected Christopher Columbus,” Trump said. “I put up a statue, beautiful statue of Christopher Columbus, right in front of the main office building, the Eisenhower Building, right across the street. That’s the office building, essentially, for the White House and other very important agencies,” Trump said, adding, “He’s back to where he should be.”
As for Bessent’s letter, it was in response to a letter Warren sent a few days earlier, which was about the 10-year treasury yield and what the Trump Administration was doing to lower costs for Americans. The treasury secretary scoffed at Warren’s letter.
“It is difficult to treat your concern as sincere,” Bessent wrote, “As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration’s reckless spending.”
He added, “While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on every day Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country.”
