In 1835, President Andrew Jackson wrote his Letter to the Cherokee Nation, which briefly argued the benefits of removal west, which ultimately became the Trail of Tears. Jackson didn't flat-out lie, but he was disingenuous. Flash forward 185 years. and we have Elizabeth Warren's Letter to the Cherokee Nation, a turgid document that reads like a badly written law review article, which if anything is more disingenuous and dishonest than Jackson's infamous letter. As a peek into the mind of the Democrats' former presidential frontrunner, and the hypocrisy of the left in general, it is scarily revealing.
Don't follow the link above to read Warren's letter if you value your leisure and sanity. I've done it for you at some cost, not only in time and mental anguish, but also in some very good bourbon. It's a ponderous epistolary monstrosity, clocking in at twelve densely written single-spaced pages, with 89 (!) footnotes. Varying in tone from groveling to obstinate, choleric to good-humored, prickly to pleasant, it seeks to exonerate Warren from her claims of Cherokee ethnicity while establishing her bona fides as a champion of American Indian interests.

It’s all for nothing. Pocahontas has been toast since Iowa. Super Tuesday results will have her packing up the teepee and heading home! She’ll suffer one more embarrassing moment in her failed presidential campaign when Commie Bernie wallops her in Massachusetts on Tuesday night!
Trail of crocodile tears.
My great great grandmother was full blood Blackfoot from South Dakota. Married a man from Indianna. She took the Christian name Miranda. I am more Indian then she is.
All she had to say is that she identifies as Cherokee and GFY, ya buncha rassists. Like they tell the rest of us...
It’s hard to believe liawatha was ever the front runner.
Are we going to start trying to keep track of every single one of Pocahontas’s lies/acts of hypocrisy?
That’s going to require a separate forum.
Because she knew it was a lie.
So much White Privilege in this country that she lied about being non-white to further her career.
(rinse and repeat x100,000)
The Fake Indian made $$$ from her Cherokee Scam. One of her houses near Harvard is valued at $4 Million. A big leap from growing up in a Tee Pee.
Of course she did but my point was toward the ridiculousness of her letter to the tribe. She wasted all that paper just to insult the tribe all over again. And for the record, the tribe is VERY open to claims of NA ancestry. They are quite accommodating when it comes to helping one prove their NA ancestry.
Lizzy Warpath from the Tax & Spend Tribe? I though injins were honorable. I guess you have to examine every individual inside the collective.
In short, Warren’s apology just reminds us that “Liberals” are intellectually dishonest - they lie, particularly to themselves.
$400K for ONE class? Really? Squaw rake in YUGE wampum.
My Grand son is one quarter Cherokee and looks full blooded. True to color he votes (R)ED .
Why didn’t schools and employers check?
