Elizabeth Warren's Political Trail of Tears
PJ Media ^ | 8 Dc 2018 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 12/08/2018 1:52:19 PM PST by Rummyfan

It looks bad for Elizabeth Warren's hopes to move into the Big Teepee in Washington:

The plan was straightforward: After years of being challenged by President Trump and others about a decades-old claim of Native American ancestry, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts would take a DNA test to prove her stated family origins in the Cherokee and Delaware tribes.

But nearly two months after Ms. Warren released the test results and drew hostile reactions from prominent tribal leaders, the lingering cloud over her likely presidential campaign has only darkened. Conservatives have continued to ridicule her. More worrisome to supporters of Ms. Warren’s presidential ambitions, she has yet to allay criticism from grass-roots progressive groups, liberal political operatives and other potential 2020 allies who complain that she put too much emphasis on the controversial field of racial science — and, in doing so, played into Mr. Trump’s hands.

That dastardly Trump, getting the hapless Warren to fall right into his trap! Couldn't she see that simply asserting her native American identity was enough? That there was no need for DNA tests and all that messy "racial science" when all you had to do was name it and claim it?

And yet she had the audacity not only to build an academic career on the basis of this "family lore" but even to try and parlay it, via a gimme Senate seat in Massachusetts, all the way to the White House. One might think she would be ashamed, but one would be wrong. After all, she is a Democrat.

“One might think she would be ashamed, but one would be wrong. After all, she is a Democrat.”

Bears repeating.

Democrats just make stuff up. Often it works for them, but not always. She just miscalculated.WJC set the bar for prevaricating and succeeded.

” “One might think she would be ashamed, but one would be wrong. After all, she is a Democrat.”

It’s so truthful, has has to be said again.

One thing I will not do, is the “Little Beaver” mockery of the Indian use of language. I really think this “heap-em bigg-em and what ever else-em” stuff is of Hollywood origin. Using it here on FR shows almost as much bigotry as does Warren’s pretending to be an Indian.

There’s a difference between mockery and bigotry.

Conservatives have continued to ridicule her.

That's a lie. Independents and members of her own party ridicule her too. Her support was always strictly from the press, the one issue feminazis, and her fellow leftwing university faculty.

Democrat factions like the unionists, the racebaiters, and the eco-nuts were never sold on her.

Poor Little Liz Warren. Guilty of Cultural Appropriation and guilty of lying an a job application, and a college application, and guilty of undermining Affirmative Action. She must really hate Native Americans to abuse the use and power of her White Privilege like that to disenfranchise the Native Americans.

Nice to hear your comments and read your profile, RedFreedom. You live closer to Nature and the Great Wilderness than the rest of us, so you’re closer in touch with the wisdom our American Indian brothers know that escapes we often crude “civilized” folk.

I take to heard your criticism of mocking the Indian language. Well said, I will sin no more.

But I will continue to chastise the fake Pocohontas :- )

Correction! She did not release the test results (i.e., the raw data). Rather, she released a dlanted commentary on the results written by a very favorably-disposed friend.

Thank you for your comments, and yes I to will continue to chastise the fake Pocahontas too.

We live just a few miles from a reservation, and 9 miles from Manitoba. Some days when we go to the nearby Walmart, by looking at license plates, there’s the appearance that we are either on the rez or in Manitoba.

Our Walmart is staffed mostly by Indians. I’ve found them to be very friendly people. As with Asians, they display zero hatred or racism towards Whites. I just wish I could say that about the young Blacks we run into.
