Elizabeth Warren rejected by Native American voters on Super Tuesday
New York Post ^ | March 7, 2020 | Jon Levine

Among the most notable voters who abandoned Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Super Tuesday were Native Americans.

Warren spent decades claiming she was “part Cherokee and part Delaware” — even taking a disastrous DNA test to try to prove it. She was ultimately forced to apologize and admit the claim was bogus, as President Trump mocked her as “Pocahontas.”

“I think that her claim and digging in her heels and the [DNA test] did hurt her,” Simon Moya-Smith, a 36-year-old Native American activist, told The Post. “That’s why I voted for Bernie on Super Tuesday, and I didn’t vote for her.” A look at how counties with high Native American populations voted suggests Warren’s past pretensions took a toll.

No, you voted for Bernie because you're a parasite.

“I suspect they resent having their chance at college quotas stolen by a white pretender too.”

The truth is many native slots in major colleges go unfilled because of a lack of applicants.

One of my main objectives is to get more kids off the res, out of poverty and substance abuse, and into educational programs with a future.
