But not when it comes to the hiring officials stating that her alleged minority status played absolutely no part in the decision to select her for the position?
They said that decades later to cover their asses. And, no, I don't believe them. I'll believe Harvard's statement that was madewhen it was closest to when she was hired:
Quote:
"Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American and one is Hispanic, said Mike Chmura, spokesperson for the Law School.
Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American."
But that 72 year old Ivy Leaguer, who has been married 3 times and cheated on his pregnant wife, who spends most of his days spray tanning, and playing golf is really cool!
Nope, one phony is as bad as the other in this case.
Because she was raised in a time before DNA testing and had to rely solely on family lore? Her brothers have all backed her story that this was the family story growing up. That the family legend was factually inaccurate is not at all unique.
Why does this continue to baffle some folks? The scenario is so damned common that Ancestry.com made a commercial about it. Remember the guy who "traded in his lederhosen for a kilt"?
I don't know why politicians who clearly aren't 'regular people' do and say things in these photo ops that make themselves look so silly and fake.You have the camera roll and then say,"hang on i'm gonna have me a beer" I mean come on......I am 'regular people'....I live in West Virginia....and even I don't talk like that.
She isn't the only one guilty of this of course.I still remember Michael Dukakis driving the tank,Hillary Clinton in the black church 'feeling noways tired',John Kerry and Mitt Romney at different times dressed up in hunting garb walking around a field pretending they were going to shoot something,George HW Bush buying something at the grocery store....amazed by scanners to ring up items,which had been in widespread use for years by that time.
We all know all of these people are rich and wouldn't give us the time of day if a camera isn't rolling,so its pointless to pretend otherwise.
Not to get off-topic, but I have to wonder how many people who've jumped all over Hillary Clinton realize that she was quoting the lyrics of a gospel song by Rev. James Cleveland. She didn't just pull that line out of the air.
I'm not sure I understand what's so funny about a politician drinking a beer. Lots of people drink beer, it's not the sole province of "Joe Six-Pack." Anyway, she said "I'm gonna get me a beer." I'm one of the biggest grammar Nazis on earth, and I will admit that I have, on occasion, probably said the very same thing. Maybe it was inauthentic, maybe it wasn't. Only people who actually know her are qualified to say with any certainty.

Yeah, I'll bet Warren wishes she had hair like The Donald. I wonder if he has some pro hair dresser doing it now, because some of the new colors he appears in now are much better than the old orange.
She didn't get a big money job until she lied about being Native American.

She's from what, OK? If you were raised there and had been told by your family you were part NA, why would you question it? My guess is a fairly high percentage of people there could claim the same.
Now if a NYC kid like me with recent ancestors on both sides who went through Ellis Island made the claim, that would be different.
I'll ask the trumpees again - does it bother you that he called himself Swedish when he knew he was German?

Not to mention that the story about Bush and the grocery scanner has also been debunked.
