Elizabeth Warren might never live down the charge of falsely claiming Native American roots. The controversy emerged during the Democrats 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.
Warrens 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 mothers 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.

The Tampa Bay fishwrap, actually.
Just as far to the left, but with Florida weirdness thrown in.

I notice they did not mention any advantages she obtained from claiming native American ancestry.
Red Herring would be appropriate as well.
“They” must sanitize and neutralize Liawatha’s claims before her next Senate race, and completely vaporize the story before she runs for President.
I expect I’ll be seeing many more “explanations” in the coming months, plus ridicule of anyone who dares suggest she lied.
He did some stupid things. #### him. We could have won that seat with anyone else.
His win would have been a powerful rebuke to the Establishment, RINOs and the Media... but I repeat myself.
Kind of shows what theyre about, doesnt it.
Well, they ARE training to be lawyers....
I wonder how many real Native Americans were not able to get into Harvard because of her lie.
“Fight climate change.” What the hell does that even mean?
Liberals/Marxists/progressives/Dems. Here's what they always do...
1. Lie (they just love to lie and lie and lie, and their alleged consciences never seem to suffer.) And...
2. Play the victim.
They always do this (cast themselves as victims), and they quickly come to believe their own lies and victimhood.

Gotta feel for the Cherokee Nation. For some reason Lefty losers want to join it. First Ward Churchill and now this putz.
Getting on board with a staff already filled with Caucasians (diversity hiree) would be a start. Advertising that they have a Native American teaching in the program and thus not likely to let her go if she had shortcomings (and maybe even offered inducements to stay if she signaled an intent to leave) would be another. Resident Expert status or anything involving Native Americans and all the academic/scholarly prestige that goes with itjust for having "high cheekbones!"
Ya know, she settle all this with a swab from the inside of her cheeks.
Have her genes analyzed and prove her indian ancestry.
Or not.
My father’s great grandmother was 100% pure blooded Cherokee (NC). No one in my family has ever laid claim to any special treatment because of that. Why should we? It is interesting genealogy. Not an entitlement to anything.
I guess that’s so because we’re not puke liberals.
Before the last election she was followed constantly by people war whooping, dancing, etc... They were also always trying to snag a water bottle or cup from her to do ‘the test’
Money has been offered for such an item.
The Cambridge libs hanging around the cheese shop (where they meet and greet) found all that very distasteful.
We found it hilarious.
I prefer lieawatha myself.
“Faux Squaw”..
She has refused.
This whole “high cheek bones” crap is nauseating.
My father’s great grandmother was 100% Cherokee and I am plain old Euro blonde looking. My dad’s cousins OTOH are easily recognizable as having Indian blood. Very different.
None of which should matter anymore than being interesting conversation. It’s not resume material.
I like Crockajawea.
FauxSquaw Lizzy heap shitie will never detach herself from her heap big lieawatha, it drags on her like Jacob Marley’s chain.
Trump is continually making sure of that with his tweets.
Her goose Um cooked.
