There are certain lies that no one, not even a politician can cover up. Elizabeth Warren has apparently found that out the hard way. To give a little bit of backstory to this first I must elaborate the this lady has partially based her status of the false claim that she was a native American. No she did not live in a multi-million dollar mansion, but according to Snopes; “Elizabeth Warren’s home is likely worth more than the average American home, and the senator has often spoken of her Native American ancestry.(Snopes). However, Snopes later goes on to say:
The legitimacy of Warren’s claims to Native American heritage has certainly been challenged by many critics, and it is true that while Warren was at U. Penn. Law School she put herself on the “Minority Law Teacher” list as Native American) in the faculty directory of the Association of American Law Schools, and that Harvard Law School at one time promoted Warren as a Native American faculty member. But specific evidence that she gained her position at Harvard (at least in part) through her claims to Native American heritage is lacking. Warren denied applying for special consideration as a person of Native American heritage during her career, and when the matter was examined in 2012 in response to Brown’s claims, people with whom Warren had worked similarly denied her ancestral background’s factoring into the professional opportunities afforded her:(Snopes).
Although Harvard denies that Warren being native American had anything to do with her job placement, one must question if her ancestry raised her likelihood of being hired by her employers. Furthermore, you must ask yourselves, would she have ever made it into the senate if she did not have as high a profile job as a professor in Harvard, one of the most renowned law schools in America?
With that all being said, a real descendant of the real Pocahontas, Debbie “White Dove” Porreco, has a little to say about Warren on Fox news. (see below for the video link)
To make it short, White Dove asks for Warren to apologize to the native Americans for the lies about her heritage. This was proven after Warren finally had her DNA tested and denied that she had any substantial amount of Native American blood coursing through her veins. Again, I know that this video is from Fox news, but it is only to see how White Dove feels about Warren more than actual statistics being used and the reporter does not seem to be twisting her words in this particular video.
Some topics you may want to debate on is how this may effect the democratic party in the upcoming election, will Warren remain relevant now the she is deemed not native american? And as always, please be sure to share this video and get it out to all your friends.
