Elizabeth Warren "insulted and made mockery of Native Americans" by lying about her ancestry to further her fake career.

On Monday, President Donald Trump held a White House event, ostensibly honoring the Code Talkers. The Code Talkers have been honored by many American politicians in the last two decades, most notably with the presentation of Congressional Gold Medals to surviving soldiers and their families by member of the U.S. Congress in 2013. My tribe, the Ho-Chunk Nation, sent a delegation including our President, Vice President and Traditional Chief, and I was proud to watch that presentation online, and to see the Code Talkers and their families.
So one might think that an event in the White House to further honor our elders would be respectful and thoughtful. Unfortunately, as is all too common these days, that’s not how it went down: Trump disrespected the very veterans he was supposed to be honoring in the Oval Office, and reduced the over 500 tribes in the United States to a caricature.
Instead of preparing something meaningful to say to these American heroes, he chose to reveal his own ignorance in conversational banter. He could have acknowledged the place of importance that these men hold in their home communities, and how they continue to be role models to so many. He could've acknowledged the sacrifices they made despite the terrible crimes the United States has inflicted on so many Native people living within its borders. He could have, at the very least, acknowledged the Code Talkers' accomplishments somewhere other than in front of the portrait of the architect of so much mass death and displacement for indigenous people.
But he didn't, because he had no idea how great they were. And he has no idea how great they are, let alone who they — and we — are.

Sanders sets White House press room on fire with her response of Truth re Pocahontas!
A reporter noted that Sen. Warren had called it a “racial slur.” Sanders said, “That’s ridiculous,” before noting that it is never appropriate for anyone to use a racial slur, and she does not believe Trump’s use of “Pocahontas” was intended for that purpose. Sanders declared, once again forcefully, that Warren was the offensive one, saying, “Senator Warren was very offensive when she lied about some things specifically to advance her career and I don’t understand why no one’s asking about that question and why that isn’t constantly covered.”
Warren claimed she had Native American heritage on her Harvard application. The claim is completely unfounded.
Only thing it made mockery of is NBC and Warren herself.
He called out a fraud who made a mockery of Indians AND probably took the place that rightfully belonged to an Indian.
NBC = Nothing But Counterfeit
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Didn’t the Left once love Pocahontas so much that they wanted to put her on a coin?
she did it to herself
OH SHE LIES!!! and wonders why We the People don’t believe anything she or the RATS say anymore and that is including most of the Republicans!!!
No, Fauxahontas’ false claim of Cherokee blood to get into Harvard Law School “made a mockery of Native American’s diverse history.”
Liberals always rely on the ignorance of history of most people to get their message out and spew their crap.
Exactly. ...and nice pic.
Fauxcahontas (lol - add to dictionary - yes) took a Harvard diversity opening away from an actual native American, destroying the dreams of some great native American intellect.
Way to go partshairdowncentertolookauthentic.
Balderdash. He’s making a mockery of a hypocrite liberal who repeatedly lied about having Cherokee ancestry for the sole purpose of advancing her career.
“Warren claimed she had Native American heritage on her Harvard application. The claim is completely unfounded.”
Not only did she lie to get into law school, she lied to get a position at Harvard.
as usual the left exposes itself as hypocrites.
If they truly cared about native americans they would be upset that some white chick lied about having native american heritage and thus STOLE a spot they had reserved for a REAL native american through their affirmative action programs!
the only REAL victim here is the poor native american who remained unemployed because of FAUXcohantas !
Is there anything the thin skin pillow wetters won’t whine about and yet they have no problem with calling other people names two face people speak with fork .........
