Tasneem Nashrulla has written article describing President Trump's derogatory reference aimed at Senator Elizabeth Warren during a ceremony honoring Native American code speakers. Her audience is made up of people who are interested in keeping up with the President, as well as those who may have heard of the incident and are curious to see the responses of other politicians. Nashrulla uses a formal diction to withhold a factual tone, tossing in dramatic words such as "disparaging" and "slammed" to stress the wrongness of the President's actions. The author appeals to ethos heavily, filling almost the entire article with quotes from U.S Senators and Representatives, as well as tweets from ABC World News and other political figureheads. Although clearly not in favor of the president's comments about Senator Warren, the author maintains a professional and matter-of-fact tone. She succeeds in showing the audience the standpoint of other politicians and their disapproval of President Trump's degrading comment.
