“...benefit of the doubt...”

Most of us doubted her benefits.

...Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown.

Speaking of Brown. He sure has disappeared from the landscape. Good riddance, BTW!

None of this is relevant to the problem. You cannot claim benefits as a native American without a certificate from a tribe. It’s the only race that needs documentation.

WTF? Fawning article ignores the real question of whether Fauxcahontas was given Affirmative Action status.

Maybe Mueller is on to something with ‘conspiracy to defraud the US government’.

Kamala or Elizabeth, terrific choices, for Republicans. Both are angry, bitter and un American.

>>This isn’t unreasonable. Many families “enhance” their histories in some way, either deliberately or through the years like the Telephone game where what is said at the beginning of the game resembles not at all what is said at the end. <<

The author misses the important point here. She used that family lore to get financial aid, which means those funds were withheld from REAL Native Americans. She also used it in other ways to advance her career all the while with no confirmation.

She is a liar who used a distant family story to benefit herself to the detriment of others.

Always possible that she is sandbagging, that she found a DNA test that shows a trace of Native American???

Waiting for the right time to show her cards.

It’s Warren’s way to bow out of the election if it isn’t going well. Someone will bring up the subject of her heritage. CNN probably received the script from the DNC.

Her goal is not to claim any benefits. Merely to give the media any excuse to dismiss her GOP critics as lying scum. "See, I really AM an Indian!" I am sure that with a big enough payout to the right tribe that can be accomplished.

Even if she proves it, it was still wrong to use heritage without proof.

Or paid a ringer to submit DNA under her name.

My wife used to think she was part Cherokee. This was because of statements made by her Grandmother, who said that one of her grandfathers was a Cherokee chief.

After her Grandmother died, my wife’s mother traveled to visit some aunts and uncles, contemporaries of Grandmother, in the vicinity of where Grandmother grew up. They were unanimous in saying the whole idea was preposterous.

So as my wife now laughingly says “I used to be part Cherokee”.

We both view the whole Warren thing with derisive amusement as a result.

The difference between Fauxcahontas and my wife is that my wife never tried to play the minority victim game for fun and profit. Her impressive professional achievements were all done the old fashioned way, with smarts, hard work and accomplishment, unlike Warren.

Yes, those are wonderful choices but I can't wait to see who else the democratics run in 2020. Who will be camel-B, camel-C and camel-D? Bernie, Cory and Deval?

Isn’t a bit unusual for a woman her age to be calling her Father, ‘daddy’?
