Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren got a new dog in order to combat the “pain and chaos” in the world. The liberal senator tweeted a photo of the dog Sunday and mentioned that it is yet to be named.
“When I got back from Washington on Thursday night, Bruce had someone new waiting for me,” Warren said, “There’s a lot of pain and chaos in the world right now — we decided to bring a little gentleness and normalcy into our lives. Meet our new puppy (name TBD). He’s a sweetie.”

Left-wing site Mother Jones promptly asked the internet what Warren should name the dog.

The majority of the answers they got were made-up Native American names for the new puppy including:”Pocatrumpas,” “Walks with Fraud,” “Puppawatha,” “Pupahontas,” “Liawatha,” “Sniffing bull,” “Chief lotsa lies,” “Dances With Lies,” “Dances With Wolves” and “Chief lying bull.”
The comments are a joke about Warren’s infamous claim that she is part Native American — a claim which may have helped her earn her position at Harvard University — even though she has never provided proof of the claim.
