Throughout her academic and professional career, Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren was listed/credited as a minority, woman of color, or Native American - e.g "the first woman of color hired by Harvard University..." in various publications in the 90s.
That is phony.
Though today she's trying to back pedal today and pretend that she never misrepresented herself, that would not have happened unless she was telling people she was Native American. Why would those institutions invent something like that about an obvious white woman?
That is worthy of ridicule, and she'll never live that down. I hope the media keeps rubbing it in cause it never gets old. If she ever runs for office, she should be mockingly billed as the "first Native American candidate."
Why is this an actual story? What is so important about it that it requires an eternity of news coverage and ridicule? Don’t you have more important things going on on your life than worrying about Elizabeth Warren’s lineage? Trump’s family claiming to be Swedish is a non-story, too. Who cares about this stuff?
No other Harvard staffers in the Law School went to Rutgers like she did. They only hire their own or Yale grads. Why was she there? Rutgers? Seriously? They needed to check the Indian, ahhh, Native American box.
Total BS unless you can prove that nugget.
After Rutgers she taught law at the University of Houston, the University of Texas, the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania before going on to Harvard.

"Throughout her career", that is entirely laughable,
Harvard never hired from Rutgers Law School. Warren listed herself as Native American in a listing used by law schools to identify prospective hires. Harvard was under pressure from students, faculty, and government to hire minorities. Warren 1st lied about, then admitted she told Harvard she was Native American.
You can believe self-interested Harvard officials instead of looking at facts.
Whites who cannot prove any native American heritage need to stop calling themselves Indian, when they are not. Family stories are proof of nothing. Elizabeth Warren should admit she's totally white and that she lied about having Native American ethnicity.
I do agree but who truly knows unless they are say five generations or less removed. Why do I say this, because living relatives would know the truth. I mean my nationality background is so muddy that sometimes I hear Canadian, French, English on top of my German-Irish heavy mixed European background.

As for admitting she is totally white...she has came out and said that she mistakenly believed her family. What EXACTLY are you hoping for here?
I had a grandmother who was convinced she was Irish when she was more German, especially her last name. Hessler, that is German NOT Irish at all.

It is because people on either side wants to use any stupid crap they can dig to bury their political opponent, even if it isn't an issue of election or a real way to attack the politican. I agree, it is entirely stupid and any side is guilty nut sadly it is not gonna get any worse due to social media.
But the MEDIA allows the Left/Democrats to get away with it because they don't hold them accountable. However, I agree with you in general. How can you tell a politician is lying? His/her lips are moving.
Trump has never been held accountable.
Roy Moore isn’t being held accountable.
The news agencies all have one or another set of biases, too.

No, that is conjecture, not proof, but I wouldn't expect a right winger to know the difference
