Elizabeth Warren doesn't have to prove one damn thing to you.

Obama showing his birth certificate didn't stop Trump from continuing to insist it was fake. Remember those fantastic investigators he sent to hawaii? They must still be there because we never got one report.

Elizabeth Warren had nothing to do with a ceremony honoring native Americans. Trump is just an idiot.

Ya'll like that.

It was just another impulsive and inappropriate remark made by POTUS.

What does Warren have to do with honoring Navaho Code Talkers? Why bring it up other than an opportunity to continue to divide the country?
Warren dishonored all Indians by falsely claiming to be one for PERSONAL GAIN. She lied, yet was elected by those progressive idiots anyway. Trump was essentially apologizing to them for her, as they are actual Indians, not someone looking for Affirmative Action falsely. He had every right to bring her up as a total embarrassment, and an affront to all Indians, including them. Maybe have a little vision Mom?

A better question should be why would you even care since she never used it to her advantage.

Totally false. She used it to get Affirmative Action. You've been in your L.I. echo chamber too long.

Doesn't read that way to me (see bold text).

Quote:
In April 2012, the Boston Herald reported that from 1986 to 1995 Warren had listed herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) directories, called the AALS Directory of Law Teachers.[64] Harvard Law School had publicized her minority status in response to criticisms about a lack of faculty diversity, but Warren said that she was unaware of this until she read about it in a newspaper during the 2012 election.[64][65][66] Scott Brown, her Republican opponent in the Senate race, speculated that she had fabricated Native American heritage to gain advantage in the job market.[67][68][69] Former colleagues and supervisors at universities where she had worked stated that Warren's ancestry played no role in her hiring.[65][66][69][70] Warren responded to the allegations, saying that she had self-identified as a minority in the directories in order to meet others with similar tribal roots.[71] Her brothers defended her, stating that they "grew up listening to our mother and grandmother and other relatives talk about our family's Cherokee and Delaware heritage".[72]

She did not, Harvard even went on the record stating such!

I don't really think she cares. Conservatives are never going to believe anything she says.

It's just unfortunate that Trump could not honor native american vets without making fun of 'pocahontas'.

The word “Pocahontas” is now a “slur”?

If she can show DNA proof, then I will believe her.

I didn't follow what Trump did, but ALL vets get a big thumbs up and thanks from me!

Let take care of our vets!
