Trump Plans to Invite Putin to G20 Summit in Miami, Report Says 
President Donald Trump has recently come under fire for many things, especially this week alone. But his most recent event has him drawing criticism from a minority once again, as he used a racial slur during the African-American History Month reception.
Politicalflare reports that Trump hosted a reception for the prominent members of the African-American community at the White House for African-American History Month. In true Trump fashion, the President boasted about his administration’s achievements, especially towards African-Americans, following his opening remarks addressing the event and the guests who were present. Trump also took this as an opportunity to rant again, on how he has never been given credit for how he is handling the coronavirus situation, and then went on to bash his Democratic rivals, calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” which is a racial slur towards Native Americans.
Trump has mocked Warren and her claim of having Native American ancestry and has called her that more than once. The National Congress of American Indians has already criticized Trump for the use of the word. Trump talked about how a rally Warren held was smaller than his own. He also took a shot at former Vice President Joe Biden, saying that if he had also mixed up states as he did, his career would have ended.
The National Congress of American Indians has previously issued a formal statement, calling Trump out for the use of the word back in August of 2019. NCAI CEO Kevin Allis stated, “For centuries Native people have endured such slurs - from R-dskins to ‘Injuns’ to savages - that the forces of racism and intolerance deploy to dehumanize our people, mock our cultures, and interfere with our inherent right to control our own lands and destinies,” and regarding the slur, Allis added that using ‘Pocahontas’ as a slur towards Warren is an insult to her life and legacy.
Meanwhile, a whistleblower from the Department of Health & Human Services is speaking out against Trump and his administration regarding the response to the coronavirus. They revealed that the administration allegedly sent federal workers to two military bases in California, processing Americans who were able to evacuate from Wuhan, China, and quarantined in case of exposure to the virus.
The whistleblower has already sent their account to Congress and is set to file a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel.
