Elizabeth Warren Probably Never Expected THIS Video To Come Back And Haunt Her!

You know why I love the internet?

Because once something exists, it never, ever dies.

(Ok… that might ALSO be why I hate the internet.)

Anyway, this lil’ gem from 2012 is making the rounds again, and Ohhhh, Liz. I bet you wish you could just erase this all together, dontcha?

So… she’s been full of BULLSH**T her entire life?

Nope. Just since her 30s! (Well… at least about this) Elizabeth didn’t start lying about her “Cherokee heritage” until well in to her adulthood.

Lol. Except she refuses to take a dna test.

I’d take the people who complain about cultural appropriation more seriously if they didn’t tell us to stop bringing up this inconvenient issue. https://t.co/8wSrY0fXuf

The Daily Wire has a pretty fantastic write up on how ridiculous this really is. Here are some highlights:

The controversy began when The Boston Herald brought it up in the 2012 campaign. The Herald’s report noted that the Harvard Crimson reported in 1998 that she was the university’s only tenured minority as a “Native American.” When the report first came out, Warren claimed she was unaware as to why she was listed as a Native American.

Warren later spun it as claiming that there was “family lore” about her supposed Native American heritage. There were two main stories that she put forward about her Native American heritage:

Her “Aunt Bea” supposedly talked about her “pappaw”‘s “high cheekbones.”
There were family tensions due to her father’s family’s disapproval of her mother’s part-Cherokee and Delaware blood.
However, Legal Insurrection’s William Jacobson dug into Warren’s stories and found no evidence to substantiate them.

In the case of Aunt Bea, Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes unearthed Bea’s death certificate and discovered that she was listed as “White” instead of “American Indian” by none other than Warren.

As for the family tensions:

Warren’s parents were married in 1932 in a church not far from their home town by a respected and prominent pastor, who was unlikely to have performed ceremonies for runaways seeking to elope. The witness on the marriage certificate was a family friend of Warren’s mother, not some stranger rounded up by the pastor at the last minute for an unexpected elopement.

The young couple then immediately returned home where their marriage was announced in the local paper in a celebratory fashion, with extensive descriptions of the prominence of the two families in the local business community.

Additionally, Warren’s mother attended her in-law’s 25th wedding anniversary four years after she married Warren’s father, and none of Warren’s family members were able to confirm her story.

The available evidence does not appear to lend any credence to Warren’s “family lore.”

ALERT! ALERT! STEAMING HOT BS ALERT!

Warren has only claimed to be 1/32 Native American–which has been debunked–and even if she actually was, Warren does not have any ancestors listed on Cherokee tribe rolls that are necessary to become an official member of Cherokee Nation.

Warren’s supporters once claimed that a marriage certificate showing that Warren’s great-great-great grandmother listed as a Cherokee vindicated Warren. However, evidence suggests that this document may not exist.

THINK ABOUT IT.

This woman used a legend that she MIGHT BE 1/32 Native American to get preferential treatment in job applications.

I might be 1/32 GYPSY. Seriously… I have absolutely no idea. The thought of claiming someone that far back is why you have “preferential minority status” is WHACK.

Warren didn’t claim to be a Native American until her 30s and may have only listed it to score a job. At that point, she was listed under the minority section of a law teachers for-hire directory. Harvard later promoted her Native American heritage.

Warren has claimed that she only listed herself as Native American in order to have lunch with others like her, but there would have been no way for them to have known that she was Native American since she was only listed as a minority, not specifically as a Native American, in the directory.

She wanted to score herself a slice of that Affirmative Action pie. It’s that simple.

“Did Warren get the Harvard Law job because she claimed to be Native American?” writes Jacobson. “We don’t know, neither she nor Harvard Law have released her hiring file. But that’s not really the pertinent question. What we do know is that she tried to benefit from the claim, so at minimum there was an attempt to exploit that false claim.”

Warren isn’t even listed as a Native American in the Senate. She has also rebuffed requests to meet with Cherokee women and has never taken the time to join a tribe or help out the Cherokee community.

Of course not. Though she doesn’t have a problem using the Cherokee people as a human shield any time she’s called out for being a liar.
