Elizabeth Warren admits to ‘mistakes’ regarding Native American ancestry claims
2019-08-20
[NYPOST] Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless...
 admitted Monday that she had "made mistakes" regarding her claims of Native American ancestry ‐ which led to President Trump dubbing her "Pocahontas."

"Like anyone who’s been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes," the Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential candidate said at the Frank LaMere Native American Presidential Forum in Sioux City, Iowa, without specifying exactly what she was apologizing for.
"That DNA thing, ferinstance"
"I am sorry for harm I have caused. I have listened and I have learned a lot, and I am grateful for the many conversations we have had together," she said.

Warren was slammed earlier this year when she announced test results that showed she had a fractional amount ‐ between 1/64 and 1/1028 ‐ of Native American ancestry.

She has apologized repeatedly for saying she identified herself as a Native American based on "family lore."

The commander-in-chief has repeatedly bashed her for the claim.

"I did the Pocahontas thing. I hit her really hard and it looked like she was down and out but that was too long ago," Trump said last week at a MAGA rally in New Hampshire.

#18  Well, she can always prostrate herself and go full tribal initiation. Maybe make it pay for view?

#16  Have I missed anyone?

In Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail, there is a picture of Hubert Humphrey with the caption "I was once a Jew myself."

This is not a new phenomenon...

#15  Lots of people wake up every morning thinking "How can I cash in without expending any effort...?"

If I'm a wealthy pol named Robert Francis, I cash in by reinventing myself as Underrepresented Minority: Latino.

If I'm a white woman named Elizabeth, I cash in by reinventing myself as Underrepresented Minority: Native American.

If I'm a wealthy biracial pol named Cory, I cash in by reinventing myself as Underrepresented Minority: A-A (Homeboy).

If I'm a wealthy Brahmin pol named Kamala, I cash in by reinventing myself as Underrepresented Minority: A-A (Po' Little Victim Girl).

Have I missed anyone?

#14  It's amazing that anybody would even sit and listen to such nonsense.

#12  Sweetheart, your 'mistake' was no mistake: it was how you scammed your way into a high 6-figures tenured law professor gig at Harvard.

If you were really contrite, you'd have long ago resigned the post you obtained under false pretenses and given back your ill-gotten gains.

Get lost, scam artist.
My God, what despicable creatures we have, shitting up our political landscape.

#11  Why doesn’t any report ask her- if you had not lied about your lineage, could you have had the opportunities that put you before us now? Or- is there a way possible to apologize to those deprived the opportunities you expropriated?

Yes, and every journalist who abetted her lies should be drummed out of the business forever.

#7  If Whoring Hontas wanted to be really popular with the tribes she'd promise to abolish the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. It is loaded with thieves and people like Warren.

#6  The white privilege of taking a designated position by flaunting fake minority status to appeal to the bigotry of other privileged whites in the selection process. Diversity makes us strong (at manipulating a rigged system).

#4  Shouldn't she account for the fraud ? Impersonating and bluffing her way to candidacy, like those runaway girls who pose as Arab princesses, take joy rides in Ferraris, and leave hotels with hundred K bills.

She's a con-woman. Plain and simple. Everybody should highlight that fact. And everyone stupid enough to share a dais with her is too dumb to be trusted with power.
