I still think like most of us, it was family lore and she believed it. I believed what my momma and granny told me.
At this point if it turned out she had native american blood in her after a dna test,the trump folks would lambast her with "Warren called her grandmother a liar, she has no family values"
Did she confess to using NA heritage in order to get the job, or in the interview?

According to referenced article, Warren admitted she told her previous employer, the university where she was employed prior to being hired by Harvard, she was a Native American.
Believing family lore and claiming minority status are very different.
Everyday it's something new. I just can't believe we are where we are. How anyone can continue to support this absolute idiot, is beyond my ability to understand.
This wasn't about Warren. It wasn't about Trump's dislike of Warren. It was supposed to be honoring native American veterans. Yet, Trump cannot help himself like the schoolyard child that he is.

I also think that he only harmed himself by making reference to her at this particular event.
I totally agree. I think people are used to him calling people names - nothing new to see - but this was not the time or the place. Completely undignified.
So you guys are not only OK with pedophilia and sexual assault, but also OK with racial slurs against native Americans - got it.
That's nothing new for the Trump crowd. They embrace all of this abhorrent behavior because their leader says it's okay. And to think...most of them consider themselves to be "Christian". That's the truly sad part. The real Christians are having to pay for these clowns' actions.
I knew I would regret reading that "article". He was was making fun of Warren who uses her supposed native blood to gain favors. Pocahontas was a person; it's not a "slur." But in a country where people think trees are racist, I guess nothing surprises me anymore.

Yeah, this is a constant state of being here in the non-moron world.
