Donald Trump’s DNA Attack on Elizabeth Warren is the Beginning of Genetic McCarthyism

Democrats lie, no big deal. Republicans call them out, it’s hate. Business as usual. The problem is most Republicans still play by those rules. Trump doesn’t.

He offered her a million bucks. I don’t remember McCarthy doing that.

Donald Trump’s DNA Attack on Elizabeth Warren is the Beginning of Genetic McCarthyism

Bull Feathers! It is making fun of two things:

1) She LIED to get ahead.
2) That lying about one's ancestry is a way to get ahead.

Trump and the rest of us are criticizing the LYING and RACISM of the Left, and no amount of fantasy projection is going to change that.

Doesn't the daily beast care about native american children- the real ones??

Would the daily beast care that a white person could have potentially pretended to be a native american and appropriated the benefits meant for a native american child??

Don't the democrats-progressives-liberals-socialists care to find the truth about whether real native americans were conned out of benefits, by a privileged white democrat senator?

[Moorings]

Shout it out through your MAGAphone!

[EdnaMode]

Yeah they are certainly creative.

[EdnaMode]

Exactly!

So why can only Democrats play the race card?

They use it because it has worked well for decades. But now that Trump is dishing it back to them unfiltered in speeches and on twitter, we’re about to see the race card backfire on the Dems.

[EdnaMode]

It isn’t.

Either Warren knew that she had no American Indian ancestry, or she knew that she did not know. If the latter, she had an ethical obligation to verify her claimed ancestry before using it to greatly increase her chances of being hired by a string of universities, including Harvard.

We know that she did not verify her ancestry by using DNA, public records, tribal records, or using any other credible resources. Had she done so, she would have made that proof public.

So, we know that she lied. She claimed an ancestry that she had not verified. Her lie paid off, probably beyond her dreams. It must have earned her millions of dollars.

A future DNA test cannot change any of the above.

[Secret Agent Man]

Nope, just calling only her out on her false claim.

I plan to point out to the next Liberal I encounter who makes a disparaging remark about Donald Trump that if he was a Democrat, with a growing economy, peace negotiations on the Korean Peninsula, and tariffs in place to protect American workers, all his past moral indiscretions and bombastic rhetoric, and take-no-prisoners attitude toward opponents, would make them giddy with joy. They'd be insufferable (not that they're sufferable now) in defending him, since unlike with Obama they wouldn't have to fabricate facts and reflexively play the Race Card.

If they're capable of imagining such a scenario there's a chance, albeit tiny, of a shift in their attitude. Not holding my breath on it, but it's about the only way I think I can possibly make a dent while remaining civil with them myself. Then, if they continue to rant and get in my face, the uncivil consequences will be on their heads.

“If you want to lie about your genetics for political gain, expect to be called out on it. Simple.”

Exactly.

Something tells me Pocahontas has already taken a test and knows the results.

[a fool in paradise]

Card carrying communist got to stick together

Meanwhile the black listing of anyone who ever supported Trump is OK with these neofascist liberals

[a fool in paradise]

Stalinists lie. Always

Was it a lie when Obama told people he wasn’t born in America or a lie when later said he was?

Was it a lie when Barack Obama claimed to be a Christian of 20 years under former muslim Jeremiah Wright?

[WashingtonSource]

This is wild-ass hysteria posing a journalism. There should be a warning label that it was written by a psychopath.

[MortMan]

No, it’s just another example of Alinskyism.

[MortMan]

More likely a relative. That way her name isn’t in the database.
