Whose business is it anyway? Her name is Elizabeth Warren not"Pocahontas". Moderator cut: off topicThe Bottom line: Why is it important to a bunch of nosy people? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If something is working adequately well, leave it alone. Leave her alone. Try to learn about your President! Elizabeth Warren is not President.

My blond wife came back at 20% Indian and we're like where the hell did that come from?

Pocahontas lied about being Native American.

Like Rachel Donzeal lying about being African American.

Man came from Africa, so every American is African-American. I know I am.

Rachel Dolezal knew full well she wasn’t black.

She ALWAYS knew she wasn’t black.

Warren grew up with family telling her that they had Native American ancestors. Hell, my family tells those same stories about my great-grandmother’s lineage.

BFD.

ETA: I’m not even a fan of Warren, but this is fake news.

So Warren claims. I haven't heard any concrete proof that that is the case.

Elizabeth 'Dances with Lies' Warren is as much a native American as Rachel Maddow is a woman.

In other words, there's a lot of doubt.

That she used as privilege, on more than one occasion.

Warren doesn't even have any genealogical records that prove she's Native American.

It was all a lie concocted by her to get hired at Penn, and then at Harvard. Both touted her as Native American, and thus a minority faculty member.

Maybe the Native American thing was honest. Elizabeth Warren claims to be the champion of the little guy over Wall Street but then backed the Wall Street candidate over the one who has fought for years for the little guy over Wall Street.

There are tens of thousands that are not going to forgive her for that.

When your employers hire you because they could then tout you as a minority faculty member, which both Penn and Harvard did.

Warren was a "Rachel Dolezal" even before Rachel Dolezal.
