Article snippet: Airport officials in Reno, Nev., are apologizing to Senator Elizabeth Warren after a group of demonstrators protesting her support of President Trump’s impeachment followed the Massachusetts Democrat as she walked through the airport to a waiting minivan. In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday by the chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, a group of protesters can be seen holding signs and shouting as she entered a public area of the airport with a handful of staffers. The group, some shouting the ethnic slur “Pocahontas” and cries of “don’t impeach,” followed Warren for about a minute as she walked out of the airport and into a waiting vehicle. Warren has called repeatedly for Trump’s impeachment, beginning in April in the wake of the release of the Mueller report. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport Authority apologized via Twitter to Warren after the video was posted to social media, claiming the protesters did not obtain a permit for the demonstration. It was a starkly different scene from the one in Chicago last month, when travelers lined up at an O’Hare Airport gate to take “selfies” with the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Warren traveled to Nevada this week to participate in a gun safety forum in Las Vegas and a town hall in Carson City. Christina Prignano can be reached at christina.prignano@globe.com.
