Some more members of the Dems special interest groups, no pun intended wandering off the reservation?

American Indians will be silent no more.
They’re calling out Elizabeth Warren and her preposterous claim that she’s “Native American.”
The uber-liberal Massachusetts senator claims she’s an Indian – 1/32 Cherokee to be exact. She’s never provided any documentation or proof of that ancestry. She’s not a member of any band of Cherokee, nor could she be.
Still, she’s used the nonsense claim to her political and professional advantage.
In the 1990s, while Warren was teaching at Harvard, she was granted tenure partly because of her claim of “Indian roots” and the college’s effort to boost their diversity hiring record.
And between 1985 and 1996, she listed herself as a “minority” in a directory of law professors. Asked about this, Warren said she listed herself as a minority because she wanted to connect with “people for whom native American is part of their heritage and part of their hearts.”
Even when given a chance to admit that she’s lying, she gives these bizarre, rambling – and offensive – responses, like this one recently where she talked about “high cheekbones.”
“I have lived in a family that has talked about Native America, talked about tribes, since I’ve been a little girl,” she said. “I still have a picture on my mantle at home, and it’s a picture of my mother’s dad, a picture of my grandfather, and my Aunt Bee has walked by that picture at least a 1000 times, remarked that her father, my Pappa, had high cheekbones, like all of the Indians do, because that’s how she saw it, and your mother got those same great cheekbones, and I didn’t. And she though this was the bad deal she had gotten in life. Being Native American has been a part of my story, I guess since the day I was born, I don’t know any other way to describe it.”
Well, the Cherokee Indian tribe has had enough.
In a video – released by the Massachusetts Republican Party – real Cherokees speak out about Warren’s idiotic claim that she’s Indian.
It’s a scathing indictment against the woman that Donald Trump and others call “Fauxcahontas” or “Lieawatha.”
On the off chance that Hillary picks Warren as her running mate, expect to hear a lot more about this.
As a person that actually has Indian ancestry (I can say Indian because many of my ancestors were), that lying witch offends me. Pocahontas, INDEED! Shame, shame, shame!
If she puts her ear to the ground, she might be able to hear the Trump victory stampede.
Anyone born in America is a Native American.
The grievance mongers, race baiters and SWJs of that area need to find a better name for themselves.
Squaw Spreading Bull should’ve gone to jail for fraud a long time ago.
Hmmm...Honorary?...
Today on the Fox News show Outnumbered, they were naturally talking about firearms, and Kennedy said: “Elizabeth Warren wouldn’t know the difference between a trigger and a muzzle.” You have to love a woman like that.
oh, please, let Hillary pick Warren. What a beatable combo the two shrew ticket would be.
“Harpies from Hell, 2016”
I’m more Cherokee than she is.
What do I get?
Yeah, but her granny had an authentic recipe for Cherokee clam chowder - WHAT MORE proof do you people need????
There was a time when folks would (or try to) “pass for white” to cross a barrier between the races and receive whatever perceived social privileges were to be had for doing so.
Now, thanks to government set-asides and entitlements, and “diversity”, you have shameless opportunists (like Warren) who will exploit any loophole or wrinkle to “pass” for Cherokee (or whatever “minority” they want to be) for their own professional and political advancement.
Nobody tries to pass for “white” anymore. There’s nothing in it! There’s entitlements and breaks from the government, advancement, and an odd prestige in somehow being able to claim to being anything other than “white.”
Squaw full of Buffalo sh!t. I honestly don’t know how she was able to Pull the figurative wool blanket over people’s eyes for so long. But leftist true-believers will accept any lies if you say it sincerely enough, and tell them that it’s for their own good. Now these dim-bulbs think they are compassionate and are promoting diversity, which didn’t end so well for those innocent people at the Pulse nightclub.
I thought the Tribes had final say on who is or is not an Indian and that they require documentaty proof before they accept a claim for membership.
Guess I missed out on all the privileges red and white.
Lizzie's privilege wasn't red or white, it was GREEN and GOLD.
I have no ill feelings towards those well off, just those well off that believe they are master race superior beings.
Not only real Indians, real Americans also respond to Warren in disgust.
Good.
May Warren get everything that’s coming to her.
A group of professional genealogists did her family tree a few years back — probably at the time that she was running for Senator — and found that she didn’t have a single drop of Cherokee blood. They were livid, including one who likes to flaunt a photo of herself with Obama. It was more important that Warren lied about her heritage than the fact that she (the genealogist) was a Democrat.
