Elizabeth Warren Makes Surprise Appearance At Native American Conference

WASHINGTON - Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) made a surprise appearance at a Native American conference on Tuesday.

Warren spoke at the National Indian Women’s “Supporting Each Other” lunch, where she introduced Cheryl Andrews-Maltais, the chairwoman of the Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts. The event took place during an annual meeting of the National Conference of American Indians.

Warren received a standing ovation from tribal leaders and other Native attendees as she approached the stage. She called on Congress to take more action on Native issues, including “the alarming number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls,” suicide rates among Native people, housing, health care and addiction.

Warren has faced criticism from some Native people, but certainly not all, over her claims to Native ancestry. She never claimed citizenship in a tribe.

She was warmly welcomed at Tuesday’s event. She could barely make it through the crowd of about 150 people as she was trying to leave, with attendees swarming her for photos and hugs by the door.

One thing that is becoming clear, between Warren’s falsely claiming to be a Native American on official documents in order to get special treatment, and Northam fighting blackface charges.....

The “aggrieved” groups don’t seem to care, so long as they can get power over the offending parties. Northam can survive by pushing reparations and throwing money and power to the minority groups, Warren can get a standing ovation by working for the policies of the native americans she offended, even if they don’t happen to be her constituents.

The National Organization of Women thought the rapist-in-chief Bill Clinton was dandy, too. Politics makes not only strange bedfellows, but cognitive dissonance, too.

Best political investment Trump ever made

A few well-timed Tweets, and years later, Warren is still shooting herself in the foot over it.

It’s a refutation of poverty-mongering in the US when
the only skinny woman in this picture is a rich whitey.

What utter bullshit. A surprise? This was orchestrated and the press damn well knows it. The Huff Post is not a legitimate news organization.
