Yesterday President Trump referred to leftist fanatic Congressman Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas", a reference to her pretending she had Indian ancestry when she didn't, to get various jobs and admittance under racial "affirmative Action" programs.
In referring to it (as many people call her "Fauxcahontas"), he was reminding people of her duplicity.
Liberals in the media immediately ginned up their usual "outrage", claiming the remark was somehow "offensive" or "racist". Despite the fact that it was Warren herself who told people she was an Indian.
But none of them seemed to mind her actually faking her ancestry.
When people point out the truth about their lies, liberals are far more outraged than they are over the fact that they lied themselves.
And the liberals still can't figure out why nobody listens to them or takes them seriously any more.
It's one thing to relate anecdotal stories that family members related to you, in private conversations with friends and family. It's quite another to knowingly use unverified, undocumented stories from grandma and grandpa on official documents, so you can receive preferential treatment.
I would hazard to guess that every family has it's share of anecdotal stories surrounding the possible origins and life experiences of their ancestors. However, until you can back them up with documented proof, they are nothing but anecdotal stories, not facts.
Define the preferential treatment she received. So far, the evidence I've seen is her contribution of two recipes to that Native American recipe book. Perhaps she received pecuniary gain from that?
Other than that, I'm not seeing it. Harvard was criticized for its lack of diversity, so it listed her as among their "minority staff members" or some such designation. Yes, they had to get that information from her I'm sure. But where was the preferential treatment in such designation? What benefit did she receive?

So you think Harvard approached her and asked if they could list her as a minority to improve their diversity standing?
I dont know if she did or did not receive any perks for being a minority. I do know that being a minority gets you advantages in such things as hiring, promotions and contracts in government and educational entities. Otherwise we would not have a designation and points given for being a minority. The fact that she would take advantage of this untruth speaks to her character. Why is this not considered racist?
You mean, it was offensive for Warren to tell people she was an Indian?
Or offensive for the President to point out the truth: That she had called herself an Indian?
These disgruntled liberal losers are SO confused and miserable.....
You completely fail to realize that Elizabeth Warren has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with honoring native american code breakers at a state ceremony. The only person confused here is yourself and Trump. Like deeply confused.

I don't know how they acquired that information but they did tout her lineage in response to criticism. See quote below this paragraph. As Trevor Noah stated, it really shows just how white Harvard is that they advertised Warren as a minority.
Quote:
The Boston Herald reported in April that Warren had listed herself as a minority in the American Association of Law Schools directory and that Harvard Law School had touted her supposed lineage when the program faced doubts about faculty diversity.
Retelling your family's oral history, and believing that that she's part Native American speaks to her character? and what?..makes her a racist? Explain how "she took advantage of an untruth". How so? There's no evidence she used it in job or school applications. Just blindly repeating that she LIED and it "speaks to her character" doesn't make it so. When you make an assertion you better be able to back up your point.
It's amazing that after having multiple exchanges with different CD users I can't get a straight answer out of any of you of what benefit Warren received that made what Warren did here that's morally reprehensible. You can't even explain what she supposedly took advantage of, other than that you seem to believe that minorities generally get benefits in life the rest of us don't. Which is preposterous.
At worst, she listed herself as a Cherokee in that book "Pow Wow Chow", which was tacky to say the least.
