The other narrative of the day is that Elizabeth Warren as
Tonto is not actually Native American so she claimed that she was Native American and many many many many many times
She claimed that she was Native American in legal journals
She claimed that she was Native American an award that you want from University of Pennsylvania Law School
She claimed that she was Native American in a story that she told over and over and over a romantic story Romeo and Juliet story
About her mother a native Amer approve American woman wandering the plains who met her father and her father brought her home
But the in-laws were racist racist and said you can't bring home that Native American woman
you can't bring home that that Indian get out of here and then apparently her parents eloped and they had a
beautiful romance from there on and well it turns out that Elizabeth Warren is not in fact Native American
But it was funny to watch as the narrative turned yesterday. So yesterday Elizabeth Warren started this whole thing off
by releasing a video of her and her family members talking about how Native American she was and
Here was what the video sounded like
This isn't just about casual racism war hoops and tomahawk chops and Native communities have faced discrimination
Neglect and violence for generations and Trump can say whatever he wants about me
But mocking Native Americans or any group in order to try to get at me
That's not what America stands for
Some people have questioned my heritage in my family history
Maybe they do it to insult me. Maybe they do it to distract from the kinds of changes
I'm fighting for and the kind of change. I'm trying to bring to Washington
Maybe they do it because they think politics is a blood sport
But my parents were real people the love they shared the struggle span toward the family
They built the story
They lived will always be etched on my heart man, and no one not even the President of the United States
Don't ever take it away. The story is etched on her heart edged on her heart
And then she goes to all our family members who are talking about their Native American heritage
And then she releases a study and the study shows that she's won
Maybe maybe not totally maybe one 1000 24th Native American
One 1000 24th Native American which is just awesome. It's just awesome in every way
So she releases that and watches her tweet evolve over the course of the day
So she starts off by saying this
by the way
a real Donald Trump remember saying on 7 5 July 5th that you'd give a million dollars to a charity of my choice if my
DNA showed Native American ancestry, I remember and here's the verdict
Please send the check to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center number one
That's how he said what he said is if you prove they're Native American and then I'll give you a million bucks
Shouldn't prove. She was Native American
She proved that she is whiter than any person the side of marky-mark and then she continued tweeting but watch our tweets of all
Ni WRC is a non-profit working to protect Native women from violence
More than half of all Native women have experienced sexual violence and the majority of violent crimes against Native Americans are perpetrated by non natives
Send them your 1 million dollar check Donald Trump, and then she continues along these lines
I took the test and released the results for anyone who cares to see because I've got nothing to hide
What are you hiding Donald Trump release your tax returns or the democratic-led house will do it for you soon enough
Tick-tock. Mr. President. No, there's one most annoying things on Twitter these days the tick-tock
Rutila, well tick-tock we're ticking down to something big or it turns down
We are ticking down to you completely collapsing in on yourself like a dying star
She continues and she says having some memory down problems Donald Trump. Should we call for a doctor? Here's something you won't forget. Mr
President you're the least popular president in modern history and your allies will go down hard in the midterm elections
22 days tick tock tick tock. Oh god
Oh god, I mean then she could but then she concludes I won't sit quietly for Donald Trump's racism
so I took a test, but but
DNA and family history has nothing to do with tribal affiliation or citizenship, which is determined only
Only by tribal nations. I respect a distinction and don't list myself as native in the Senate. Wait, what happened?
Like I mean that was a sudden left turn is
Like when Michael Scott was driving on the road and the GPS told him to drive into the lake
That's basically how that sweet thread went. He's just he's talking and she's talking about
Yeah, I'm Native American and and Native Americans are great and give some money Native American logic
But I'm not Native American what could have happened to trigger such a change what could have happened to Tonto?
What could have changed Elizabeth's Warren's mind? What could have changed her mind?
She was saying very confidently that she too was Native American and she was Native American and then I listened
well
You know
It turns out the tribes get to decide who's Native American why?
Why because the Cherokee Nation came out and said you're not Native American
The chair that now that let's be clear about this
The Cherokee Nation does not come out and make political statements very often
But they sends out their secretary of state Chuck Hoskin to issue a statement
He said quote a DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship current DNA tests
Do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America
Sovereigns tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship
And while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage such as paternity to an individual
It is not evidence for tribal affiliation and then they continued using a DNA test to lay claim to any
Connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation even vaguely is inappropriate and wrong
It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonouring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens
Whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven
Senator warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage
ouch-ouch
So she just got slammed by the Cherokee Nation to which she claims ancestral membership
Yeah, that went poorly for Elizabeth Warren which is why she shift and said, I'm not claiming that I'm Native American anymore
But I'm a kind of Native American. So give me a million dollars again
I call on the Trump administration I call on President Trump to personally sign a $900 check to Elizabeth Warren's charity of choice
Because she is 1/1000 24th Native American maybe he should pay her one one one thousand twenty-fourth of a million dollars
That is the amount to which she is owed. So President Trump was asked about this yesterday, and he basically just missed all of it
I didn't I think you better read it again. I
Hope she's running for president because I think she'd be very easy. I hope that she is running
I do not think she'd be difficult at all. She'll destroy the country
She'll make our country into Venezuela with that being said
I don't want to say bad things about it because I hope she would be one of the people that would get through the process
It's gonna be a long process with the Democrat. Ok, so President Trump, he's eager to go after Elizabeth Warren again
I still think we need the image of him with a Publishers Clearing House sighs check handing
It's us - to Elizabeth Warren in order to basically have that image linked with Elizabeth Warren forever
unfortunately
It seems like he's swiveled and he's less interested in whether Elizabeth Warren has a relationship with Tonto and more interested in whether stormy Daniels
Is in fact silver?
Hi this another way well
But I want to talk a little bit more about why it's important for Elizabeth Warren to have maintained her
Native-american ancestry point what made her think she could get away with this. So let's talk about that. Here's the thing
There's a story that came out September 1st of this year in the Boston Globe and it discussed a serious issue for Elizabeth Warren
Was senator Warren actually a professor at Harvard Law because she claimed Native American ancestry
In other words was she granted special
Status that sort of gave her in an upper hand when it came to her job at University of Pennsylvania
Or at Harvard Law School. Well, this long article from The Boston Globe in-depth research found that
folks at Harvard said that her Native American claims had nothing to do with
Any of that that her Native American claims had nothing to do with her actual ability
to be granted a professorship at Harvard Law School
They interviewed something like 31 professors many of whom were on the admissions committee someone whom I know people like Charles freed who I had
Four contracts and he said no when we hired her it had nothing to do with her claiming Native American ancestry
in fact
We didn't even know that at the time we assumed she was white and the internal documents suggested that
University of Pennsylvania treated her as a white person and so did Harvard Law School
Until it became beneficial for them to claim the choose of minority heritage for purposes of their diversity curriculum, right?
They had to claim that they had a certain number of diverse professors
And so they sort of faked it and said that she was Native American, but that doesn't mean she got her job based on
Native American
Native American claims
What so with that said why didn't Elizabeth Warren a month and a half ago simply say look
I was told by my family members that I had Cherokee ancestry
my mom used to tell me that my uncles and aunts used to tell me that and because of that I
Simply assumed that they all read I was going to assume that my relatives were lying to me
Those were the stories that I was told growing up. I guess that was wrong
And so I never should have done any of that stuff
But it didn't have any impact on my actual career trajectory
My career trajectory was gonna be great no matter what and had nothing to do with those claims
So I apologize to Native Americans for having taken seriously the stories of my family without checking them. But with that said
To claim that I was a beneficiary of some sort of affirmative action is simply untrue and why didn't she do that?
Well, there are two reasons. She didn't do that and both of them are telling reason number one
She figured that she could get away with pretty much anything because the media would cover for her
Which the media did yesterday? There were headlines in the Daily Beast's saying Elizabeth Warren proves Native American ancestry
There's a headline over at CNN Elizabeth Warren provides solid evidence of Native American ancestry
So she legitimately threw out a study that showed she was not Native American and counted on the media to say that the study showed
She was actually Native American and the media complied
for the first 12 hours and then it all began to fall apart because people can read and
We don't live in a world where there are only three networks and three major newspapers anymore
We live in a world where people can fact check stuff and that meant that her narrative began to collapse in on her
So she thought she could get away with it because the media would cover for her and why not?
why wouldn't she think that I mean the media have covered for the fact that beta will work in Texas who is being treated as
an Obama esque
kennedy-esque new young figure
That that guy was involved in a DUI when he was 26 that involves him crossing over a median line
smashing a truck and then trying to flee from the scene and
They're still touting him as the big new next democratic thing now. Listen, I'm somebody who's had my license suspended for driving too fast
I'm obvious about that. I was not driving drunk and I didn't crash into anybody
it was on an empty freeway baito O'Rourke was driving drunk and
Hit a guy and then tried to flee the scene while he was drunk and the media have basically said that's a big nothing
this is the same media that said the george w bush's DUI back in the
1970s should have do qualified him in 2000 from running for the presidency like two weeks before the election. So
Elizabeth Warren had good cause to think that the media were going to cover for her no matter what if
The media covered Democrats the way they cover
Republicans half of the candidates for Congress in this election cycle would be toast they would be finished
If Bob Menendez in New Jersey would be done. He'd be honestly he'd be gone
Claire McCaskill in Missouri would be done
Kristin Cinema in Arizona would be just toast but they are not because Elizabeth Warren like every other Democrat knows that there is a grace
Sort of buffer zone that is established for Democratic candidates
and so she can simply claim Native American ancestry without any proof and the media will continue to cover for her as
Much as humanly possible, right and they they will just continue to cover for her endlessly
