Elizabeth Warren apologizes for 'harm I have caused' at Native American forum in Iowa

[Cardinal]

I wasn't aware that President Trump had anything to do with Pocahontas sticking a feather in her hair and calling herself a professor.

trump supporter.

Carry on.... :lol:

Trump will certainly continue it. I don't know how effective it will be. His name calling is starting to bore me. I expect it so the shock factor is gone. Of course the boredom threshold for his supporters may be higher and their titillation threshold lower that mine. Bottom line is that Pocahontas is baked in on both sides.

It will not be effective one iota. His base will still support him but I can assure you that the independents will be strongly put off by this.

 

[Middleground]

She is unlikely to pass Biden anytime soon. OTOH, once Bernie drops out I would expect all his support to flow to Warren which will put her more-or-less into a tie with Biden.

I hope you're wrong. The Dems need to not nominate the candidate most likely to beat Trump; they need to nominate the best candidate to lead the country. They made that mistake by nominating Clinton -- they better not do it again.

Don't lower yourself to Trump's playground level. Using the slur Pocahontas is racist. Just stop.

Injun' Liz took millions of dollars in salary and promotions based on a deliberate lie. So the question remains should be required to return the ill gotten gains?

The answer is absolutely.

Will she? Absolutely not.

:thumbs:

 

[3leftsdoo]

She took a DNA that showed she had some NA lineage. Sorry you don't know facts. Trump made this controversy. She apologized for the hurt it all caused. But you are lying like usual. Sad.

Someone doesn't know the facts...

It depends on the independents.

I was once a big fan of hers.

But this situation deserves all the scorn that can be heaped upon her.

It's not exceptional - it's who she is.

Millions of dollars in salary? Really??:lamo You think academics make millions of dollars? :lamo:lamo:lamo

The only Democrat that can beat Trump is Obama.

The lie was the foundation of her fortune, political and otherwise.

Trump will seek to make it her misfortune if she - and not the pre-chosen Harris - is the nominee.

Politics.

You think academics make millions of dollars? It was a silly post and you're stretching to make it sound rational.

Yang + Elon Musk 2020. 5% corporate tax without government dipping their hands in it that gets payed directly to every single American evenly.

Of course he will. He thinks apologies are a sign of weakness, in any case.

Why does Trump need to apologize? Given that Warren herself apologized and admitted she was wrong and very likely "caused harm" by assuming a Native ethnicity that she did not deserve, it's hard to fathom what Trump would need to apologize for.

In fact, Warren's apology completely vindicated Trump's admittedly childish, yet highly effective name calling. Consider..., but for Trump repeatedly calling her lies out by mockingly her with "Pocahontas", would Warren have ever stopped or apologized, or would she even now still be persisting in her FRAUD and deliberately and maliciously causing "harm" (her exact word) by shamelessly passing herself off as a Native.

Sorry, what were you saying again about apologies being a sign of weakness? :lamo

 

[Oborosen]

Well... that's the rest of her credibility shot.

Reread my post. Nope; nope.

 

[VanceMack]

This looks like just the latest stop
on Warrens tour to indicate she is willing to lie down face first and ass up to any group out there as president. She will be everything to everyone...please vote for her. It’s the image leftists like to see in their ‘leaders’. No doubt she will steal pages from Obama’s playbook and make overtures to the world showing how subservient she is willing to be.

Good god. If this extremely silly and unimportant blip is going to serve as judge and jury over the many other incredible things that Warren offers, then you're rendered me speechless. I can't wait to find out what you think about all other politicians -- where the closeted skeletons are way too numerous.

Trump pretty much does something every ****ing day that should require an apology.

 

[Middleground]

Says the Trump supporter. ****ing rich. :lamo

 

[ocean515]

No it won't. Have you seen Trump and his cult? Do they just let things go like that? No.

If she wants to pursue this Presidential election, she's going to have to be able to deal with this still.

Russsia, Russia, Russia, racist, racist, racist...…

Talk about cults...…..

That I is.

True. Usually I use Injun' Liz. But I thought I'd vary it up a little.

Injun' Liz brought this all upon herself. People need to stay reminded.

Two things from this mess that Warren took way too far.

1. Odds are the apology will be largely insignificant to Native American support going up or down.
2. This will continue to be a punchline for Republicans, as it probably should, for a very long time.

Of course it will, because that's all they got. They can't take her down on policy, so they'll stoop to continual name-calling.
