Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye chose to take the high road in responding to national embarrassment drumpf’s use of a racial slur in front of the Code-Talker veterans today, speaking in general terms of the prejudiced his people continue to face rather than giving more attention to the Idiot-In-Chief.
“First and foremost, we appreciate the honor and recognition that has been bestowed upon the Navajo Code Talkers, who truly are national treasures and protectors of freedom,” Begaye said in a statement. “In this day and age, all tribal nations still battle insensitive references to our people. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy. As Native Americans, we are proud people who have taken care of this land long before there was the United States of America and we will continue to fight for this nation.”
He concluded: “It was our Code Talkers that ensured the freedom of the United States and that’s what is important to remember here.”
Too bad we can’t have a leader of modesty and dignity such as the Navajo Nation has been graced with, other than the buffoon that is a shame to us all.
