Liz Warren is running for reelection in November. So why would ANY Democrat criticize her
for running a great campaign video? Why should she wait till after she's re-elected? The greater her win now, the better.
I also don't understand why a representative for the Cherokee Nation criticized her. She's never claimed to be an official member of the Nation, and she repeated this in the video.
“I am not enrolled in a tribe and only tribes determine tribal citizenship. I understand and respect that distinction.”
The video is about 5 minutes long, and she's put it on Twitter. I loved it.

2. Is she running on her ancestry?
If so, does that mean she identifies as a Native American? That would come as a surprise to many.
If not, why does she feel the need to prove it? It's not like Trump or any of his supporters are going to believe it.
From what I've seen on Twitter, the reaction from NAs to the test result and her campaign video has been disappointment and discomfort. It's important to listen to that, I think.

46. I don't see how anyone can watch this video and say that ...
... she is hurting herself or others. Fantastic ad, personal and compelling.

21. I did watch it, but in the media it's all about a white woman
...who has, like, 1/500 of "Native American" on a DNA test, and of course those tests are problematic anyway.
Native women have said it makes them feel invisible.

35. This isn't about Native Americans being invisible. It's about Elizabeth Warren being called a LIAR
because someone unearthed a form that she had turned in AFTER she was already hired and working at Harvard, where she checked off a box, indicating that she had some N.A. ancestry. Like some of my own relatives, she didn't want to deny what she viewed as mixed ancestry, even though the amount could be viewed as trivial. SHE didn't view it as trivial.
Ever since that was published, they've been falsely claiming that she traded on non-existent N.A. ancestry to get a scholarship, or a job, or whatever. None of that is true. The blood tests showed she did have a N.A. distant ancestor, as she has consistently said accords with her "family lore," -- but she NEVER traded on that ancestry to get a scholarship, job, or promotion.

15. She's not running as NA ancestry. She's showing that her "family lore," as she's often put it,
is correct. She does have an Indian ancestor in her distant past.
She came across to me as very genuine.

16. I am very proud she is one of my senators....
And I'm pizzed as hell she has to put out this video. Who the F cares who her ancestors were? Why does her "blood" have any bearing on how good a senator she is?
Why is this shit stain of a pretender being allowed to slander people like this with DU support?

50. My Dear Badgersmom,
You said it PERFECTLY, my dear BadgerMom! Thank you. FFS, indeed! n/t
Bottom line, for years she used her claim to advance her academic career and for PR (e.g. she contributed a "Mexican Oatmeal Soup" * to a cookbook titled "Pow Wow Chow", saying she is Cherokee). The data analysis she released shows that somewhere in English or Spanish colonial times (the Spanish conquered Mexico nearly a century before Jamestown) there may have been a North, Central, or South American Indian in her family tree, maybe.
* Oats are a Eurasian grain, with ancestors in Mesopotamia and especially suited to cooler climes like Russia, Canada, and the (probably Northern) US. The main seasonings and savories in her recipe were salt, onion, and garlic. In other words, Traceyhaha's soup was Faux-Mex, :rotf: .
Elizabeth Warren's Pow Wow Chow 'Cherokee' recipes were word for word COPIES of famous FRENCH chef's techniques
Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is yet again in hot water after new allegations have surfaced that she plagiarized her 'Cherokee' recipes in the book Pow Wow Chow from the New York Times and other publications.
Radio talk show host Howie Carr released damning evidence that appears to confirm that Mrs Warren's weren't handed down from generation to generation, they were picked up in the newspaper......
She has highlighted nationally just how extensive over time she has been making these claims that she just proved were lies.
ISWYDT, Fiddy.I cannot take credit for the cleverness of it. I ran across it on Twitter yesterday, made me LOL when I saw it.
Old liawatha's grand dad, old chief shitting bull must be rolling in his grave! :-)She has been down at the casino demanding her cut to help her election prospects however
Even the Indians don't want the nasty old liberal bitch. :thatsright:
the excuses begin...
:lmao:
R
:loser:
warren has > 1/1000th native DNA in her system... and that is really central american and south american (probably)... who knows what crap they brewed up in the 'private' tests she had done...
:yawn:
:lmao:
:rofl:
:lol:
[edit: the red because it should be there... really...]
