During a highly charged address to a joint session of Congress, President Donald Trump took aim at Senator Elizabeth Warren, ridiculing her with his long-favoured nickname 'Pocahontas' as she applauded his remarks on military aid to Ukraine.

Senator Elizabeth Warren was seen smiling and kept clapping as the president called her out in reference to Ukraine.

Social media users hailed the Democratic senator's "dignified" response to the president's "disgusting" remark during his address to Congress.
