and why is ANYONE ok with him constantly lying like this??She had native ancestors 8 to 10 generations ago. She has talked about how this connection has been a multi-generational narrative in her family, which is highly believable, as this is very common. I actually assumed that is why she ever said anything about it in the first place before all this dumb shit started happening. She did not lie. Many people just feel that she needs a closer connection than that to mention it. I tend to agree, but not to a begrudging level; I'm sure she's embarrassed that her family has clearly been over-blowing the connection though.Saying she lied is, simply, a lie in itself."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/opinions/elizabeth-warren-native-heritage-where-has-she-been-moya-smith/index.htmlThat's really not the point being made. I don't think anyone has suggested she did the right thing here - she made a big mistake by lowering herself enough to try and respond to Trump's crap, and I don't think anyone denies that it's not at least awkward/uncomfortable that she's tended to overstate her Native connection (although I for one am completely buy the reasoning offered for this mistake; it's totally valid IMO - people really do work that way).The point being made is that Trump supporters are ALL over it as though it's the scandal of the century (including a bunch of lies and disinformation swirling around to bolster it), while ignoring the actual scandalS of the century being committed on a regular basis by the one they support. It's ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure Trump is 50% Orangutan.

RoleModelsinBlood31 said:Why would anyone sane call themselves Native American when they have only a scrap of dna of it. Laughable. I have more pizza in my bloodstream than she has NA in hers. And then to check the Native American box on application too lmao. Only thing I’ll accept on this one is that she was led to believe that she was Native American by her parents or something and she just ran with it. What a dolt
This only makes her look bad, total fail0 -
unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye.

I also do find it incredibly hysterical when I find out adults live in their Mom’s basement. That is funny.0 -
Do people really think anyone would pretend to be a native american woman to get a leg up? That may be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard here.Post edited by dignin on0

I don't think PJPOWER lives in is his moms basement, but if he is - I hope he still gets invited into your little treehouse-club."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
