There's no truth whatever to Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's claim to Indian ancestry. She's been proved a fraud. Time for her to fess up and end this charade.
All the evidence she's offered to justify listing herself as a minority on law school directories the last 25 years has been shot down. The Harvard law professor's claims just don't stand up to scrutiny.
The New England Historical Genealogical Society this week reversed its claim it had proof of Warren's alleged Cherokee heritage. That proof was hearsay Warren fed the society, and in turn, the Boston Globe.
She cited the word "Cherokee" scrawled on a distant relative's 1894 Oklahoma marriage license.
But Breitbart.com dug the records up and found no such thing. Digging further, the news site found quite the opposite: Warren's great-great-great-grandfather rounded up Cherokees and herded them along the infamous "Trail of Tears" into Army stockades.
Shamed, the Globe had to run a correction.
Unless Warren can offer proof, she should quit her post at Harvard Law, which has touted her as its "first woman of color." She plainly wasn't hired on merit.
Warren should also withdraw from her race against Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass. Such dishonesty isn't worthy of any office, let alone one of the nation's highest.
She also owes Native Americans an apology. They're justifiably outraged over a white leftist gaming the racial spoils system (that white leftists created), and enjoying an affirmative-action leg-up at their expense.
"She needs to admit the truth," Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes said. "There is no documentation showing she has Cherokee ancestry. She needs to come clean and release her employment records."
Of course, this would be the decent thing to do. Given Warren's sleazy Wall Street-bashing, we're not holding our breath she'll take the high road.

If she’s finished with that fake Cherokee background, I could use it for a bit of diversity advancement. I am sure I would be the only Cherokee at my job. I hope she doesn’t mind.
Either way, she’s way off the reservation with this one...
All she needs to do is claim “liberalism” and it soon will be a hate crime to question her authenticity.
Hopi and change.
ding ding ding ding... we have a winner!!!
“Fork not only in tongue”
Don’t you people get it yet?? It’s to whether it’s “true” or not, it’s how one feels about the claim they’re making, if one’s intentions are good, than it becomes the truth. (On the Left, that is)
Elizabeth Warren is as Native American as Iron Eyes Cody.
Red handed . . .
You owe me a keyboard! I don’t care who you are- that right there is funny.
A RAT caught lying, where’s the story in that?
Why so serious? She is a perfect clown fit to be a DemoRat Senator in their freakshow on Capitol Hill, DC.
(Demented Clowns)
Democrats propose and enact laws (or regulations) to buy votes and wealth. When their pockets are full and they are not up for re-election, does anyone expect them to not cut in at the front of the line?
Indian taker.... Well actually Indian no take her.
Turning into The Warren Omission. No one is buying into her ‘magic ancestor theory’ however.
It seems to me that she should be tried and convicted of fraud that potentially cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (if not millions) over the time the fraud was perpetrated.
That’s a lot of wampum!
Warren is only following the Democrats' standards. If Kennedy could get away with a lie, why not her? She lied about her Cherokee ancestry to get what she wanted. These people have no scruples. The Liberal/Dem voters in Massachusetts won't care. They will excuse it as a "mistake." Obviously, lying is totally acceptable there, as long as a Democrat is spinning the story.
