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

I've said nothing about Trump, and this thread isn't about Trump, and yet here you are injecting him into the discussion. :roll:

Tough. When discussing a Democratic candidate, it is always in comparison with candidates he or she is running against, and one of those candidates is Trump. And compared to Warren, Trump is the world's worst human.
 
So, she's "sorry".

She falsely represented herself as native American to get a job at Harvard. Whoever she beat for that job suffered considerable harm, I think.

She falsely represent herself to the University of Texas and the State Bar of Texas.

She falsely represented herself to the voters again and again and again and again until backed into a corner.

And now she's "sorry".

I'm 1/1024 impressed.

By the way, you left out the fact that the moderator at the function you cite berated the native Americans in the audience for not being very enthusiastic about Warren.

She was indeed wrong when she claimed Native American heritage, but there is no evidence that she was intentionally false. Before mail order DNA testing kits became trendy, how many people reliably knew their racial composition? I have a very detailed family tree that goes back a very long time, but I can't say for sure how much of it is accurate. I think I know which ethnicities I am; and I represent myself accordingly. If a spit swab determined that I'm not actually x% of whatever national origin, I wouldn't be any more or less of a liar than Warren is. I would just be mistaken, as she was.
 
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.

You're being much too kind.
 
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.

Most - but not quite all - other politicians are incredibly slimy.

But this thread is about how incredibly slimy Warren is.

And how untrustworthy, devious and ridiculous.

But Castro and Harris are far more disgusting - I'll concede that.
 
1) Go to a reservation
2) Find the first female
3) Call her Pocahontas
4) See if you come out with all limbs intact

I don't think you're understanding how Sleazahontas & etc. are being used here...
 
But that is not what the President has done.

The racist Elizabeth Warren, used racial misappropriation and misrepresentation in an attempt to enhance her career.

The President didn't call a Native American "Pocahontas", he referred to the racist Elizabeth Warren that way as reference to, and a reminder of, her shameful acts.

Stop. Being. Reasonable.

It's triggering!!!!

:2mad:
 
:screwy:sinking: :slapme: :2brickwal

Jesus christ. Your failure to see is beyond words. You are a lost cause, my friend.

Someone is definitely not getting it...
 
The worse Trump gets, the more imaginative and fantastical Republicans have to be about how bad the Democratic candidates are.
 
Exactly. If Warren can call herself a NA because of a 1/1024th DNA relationship, then probably half the general population can start talking about "my native american ancestors", including you, me and likely even the president himself.

And if half the general population talks about their Native American ancestry because of that 1/1024th DNA relationship, they would be scientifically correct.
 
She didn't get the amount because she claim to have has native blood. She got it because she was smart, excellent and extremely qualified. Don't distort facts to suit your agenda.

As for taxes, you fail to admit that every candidate in the last 40 years or so has released their taxes. Everyone except Trump who still claims to be under audit. Anyone who believes that also believes in the tooth fairy.
What is he hiding? The returns for the early 90s that have been made public show someone who is about as incompetent as it gets when it comes to business. It also shows someone who pays little to no tax.

Wake up, man. Just look at the facts... it's plain to see you've been duped by a con artist.

Her entire career is fruit of the poison tree.
 
Of course it's a sign of strength to admit when one has been wrong. I have no clue how any one else would think otherwise. If Warren was just fluffing this off, then why would she make such an effort to reach out to the indigenous people of America?

She's a sleazy con artist.
 
This may finally put the whole "Pocahontas" thing to bed. Warren has gone full circle from ignoring the issue, to defending it with her "I'm a native - my grandma said so" to the silly DNA test which spectacularly backfired, to prostrating herself before the permanently aggrieved and apologizing for the 'harm I have caused'. Harm?

Note that for anyone who was personally harmed by Warren pretending to be a Native, I suggest that person not go outside during a windy day because he is the weakest, most easily harmed person in the whole world.

Maybe there was an actual Native somewhere who was harmed when she didn't get hired at Harvard Law School because they figured they already had one in Warren. But I don't even know about that.

The only question now is if Warren gets the Dem nomination, will Trump continue to call her Pocahontas all the way through to next Nov, 400+ days from now? That will start to get old quickly. But we may see.

Trump calling her Pocahontas has not harmed anybody either...

How has Trump gotten worse?
 
She didn't pretend. She thought she was.

No, she only claimed to be American Indian a few times over the last 30 years. If she really thought she was American Indian, then she would have always claimed to be American Indian. She only did it when she thought it would benefit her career.

When did she ever "not claim" being Native American? I sincerely doubt she only checked Native American to advance her career and checked White-Not Hispanic other times.
 
Misses "I steal downtrodden peoples identity for my own profit" Warren apologizes.


And Trumps the racist for calling her out on it...

He certainly says racist things. Seriously, no one talks in public the way he talks in public. I'm just waiting for him to call Andrew Yang Jackie Chan or Mulan while he calls his Denny's server a nigger for burning his early bird special.
 
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.

You're not the first person to claim a deliberate lie. Can you, or anyone, provide proof of Warren's allegedly malicious intentions?
 
She didn't lie about it. She was misinformed. Lying implies an intention to mislead an audience and misrepresent a matter of fact.

I wonder if thats why she dyed her hair Native Brown to look more authentic.
