Bullshit Trump Says

Dude, the Christian Right was only 20000 votes shy of putting a probable child molester in the senate in Alabama. Trump had a descent chance to win regardless of his opponent because of fetuses and gays.

This is one of those situations where those pesky facts are going ruin a good dem narrative again. The DNA test showed at best she is 1/64 Native american at worst she is over 1/1000 Native American. Otherwise translated to right around average, or slightly less Native American than the average European American, and well under the threshold to claim minority status like she did at Harvard.

Warren didn’t “claim minority status” to work at Harvard. That’s more Trump lies you believe.

She handed you all a victory. You don’t have to lie about this anymore. She hurt her own chances with the truth.

This statement from Cherokee Nation should do it.

The rules have changed. If you get caught in a lie or someone claims your truth is a lie, just stick by it, don’t make a big deal, and ignore the haters.

Phdeac was getting at this, catamount, but checking the "native American" box on her job application had absolutely zilch to do with Warren getting her academic job at Harvard. Those boxes are voluntary (and supposed to be mostly confidential) for diversity reporting purposes. Hiring committees never see the disclosure. If I remember I'll part the fine print tomorrow when I get to work.

The SOS from from Cherokee did a great job on NPR this morning.

“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong," he said. “It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring 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.”

She didn't claim minority status "to" work at Harvard, but she did claim minority status while working at Harvard.

Right. The conservative lie is that she claimed it to work at Harvard.

So what’s your problem with someone who has been told they have a specific family history telling an employer about that family history?

Facebook friend just posted that she campaigned on being an Indian and "made a big deal out of it" to get elected. That apparently is the (false) narrative about Warren on the right. The disinformation campaign has gone far beyond working at Harvard, now they're imagining/claiming that being an "Indian" got her elected as a US Senator. Next thing you know there will be a meme that she got a fraudulent bank loan by being an "Indian" or whatever. Truth doesn't matter, all that matters is how much made up shit you can get the rubes to believe.

This guy is a highly educated person and should know better, but apparently is happy to regurgitate nonsense in a public forum.
