The facts behind Elizabeth Warren, her claimed Native American ties and Trump's 'Pocahontas' insult

Elizabeth Warren might never live down the charge of falsely claiming Native American roots. The controversy emerged during the Democrat’s successful Senate run in Massachusetts in 2012, and it continues to dog her.

In the throes of the 2016 presidential race, then-candidate Donald Trump tagged her with the nickname Pocahontas, and he has trotted it out virtually every chance he gets — even at a White House ceremony to recognize Native American soldiers who fought in some of the fiercest battles of World War II.

Warren’s central offense dates back to the mid 1980s, when she first formally notified law school administrators that her family tree includes Native Americans. Warren said she grew up with family stories about both grandparents on her mother’s side having some Cherokee or Delaware blood.

That genealogical claim has zero documentary evidence to back it up, according to a PolitiFact review of news and newsletter databases back to 1986.

So Liz Herring is only 13 years old at the end of her freshman year (she skipped the 6th grade). During her sophomore year, she began to date Jim Warren, who was a senior, probably 17 or 18 years old (maybe 19) and she was only 14.???

So he was in his 20s, when she finally graduated and they finally got married.??

What was her opinion about the allegations against Judge Roy Moore?

She tries to imply that she met her 2d husband after Warren left her.

Nowhere does it mention the date of her first marriage. Some articles say 1967 and others 1968.

Jim Warren was dead by 2012, but I can’t find an obituary..

I have NO IDEA what you’re getting at.

I was 17 when I was a senior.

Moore should have dropped out so we could win the seat.

All the other nonsense is noise.

He did some stupid things. #### him. We could have won that seat with anyone else.

... directories don’t indicate which minority group the person belonged to, so it would not be obvious to schools or other readers that Warren was thinking of her Native American roots...

Annunaki, perhaps.

What’s incredible to me it that Harvard keeps her on, and that their supposedly brilliant law students kept attending her classes, knowing that she’s a bald-faced liar.

Kind of shows what they’re about, doesn’t it.

And to make matters worse, some of the recipes appear to have been copied from the New York Times wire service.

A liar AND a plagiarist...nice combo.

Probably to keep up with Columbia University, who has Chelsea Clinton as a professor (really).

Here’s Professor Chelsea’s page at Columbia. Notice that there is no listing of her office. No listing of her office hours. And no listing of courses she’s teaching. But there is a fawning biography that makes her seem more important than Einstein.

“Politifact”...surely a wholly owned subsidiary of the NY Times or The Compost.

Liawatha is your typical Moonbat.

Having lived my entire life (except for time in the Army) within 10 miles of Harvard Square I'm telling you that you're wrong.She's a *Cambridge* Moonbat....which is anything but "typical".

FTA: “I listed myself (in the) directory in the hopes that might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something, with people who are like I am,”...

<<>>

She was with people who were like her—liberal liars. Lies are expected from the members of the left. Resume enhancements,
