https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/Senate/2012/0602/Cherokees-hammer-Elizabeth-Warren-on-ancestry-claim-ahead-of-Mass.-party-convention

As Massachusetts Democrats meet at their nominating convention today, some members of the Cherokee Nation are stepping up a campaign to get answers about candidate Elizabeth Warren’s claims of tribal ancestry – a sideshow controversy that has nevertheless begun to wobble one of the most closely-watched Senate campaigns in the country.

This week, Indian reporters say they were snubbed by Warren’s campaign as they sought clarification on why Ms. Warren was listed as a minority Native faculty by Harvard in the 1990s, even though she has no evidence to back that claim and apparently never sought out other Native Americans on campus.
...
Warren was listed in the early 1990s as a minority professor at Harvard University, but the only proof Warren has of her claim of 1/32nd Cherokee blood is family stories about high cheek bones that came from an ancestor. In order for Warren to be 1/32nd Indian, it means that the ancestor had to be a full-blooded Cherokee. But on May 15, the New England Historic Genealogical Society said the group “has no proof that Elizabeth Warren’s great-great-great-grandmother O.C. Sarah Smith either is or is not of Cherokee descent.”

that she believed it past her early 20s is ridiculous, what kind of loving critical thinking does she have, she's supposed to be a smartypants lawyer

Moving forward requires a brief trip back to where we were 4 years ago before Trump ruined a lot of it.

this is the same logic that clintonites used to move the party to the right and whoops turns out they never "moved forward" just went more and more right for the next 30 years

OR maybe part of the reason people have turned on her, so quick and so hard, is sexism.

It doesn't stop being a thing because there's other good reasons to poo poo all over her.

There's a bunch of reasons Hillary lost in 2016. And one of them was sexism.

There's a bunch of reasons people are mad at Warren in 2020. And one of them is sexism.

people turned on her because she's a lying flip flopping traitor, sexism is a miniscule part of it and isn't worth mentioning

The best way to handle it would have been to call her first to talk it out when the story broke and then release a statement to say, “I did not intend and do not believe that a woman can’t win and am sorry I was not more clear on that point in my wide-ranging conversation with Senator Warren.” It boggles belief that he didn’t have a comms person who could point that out.

this is exactly the kind of braindead advice that can be expected from you, sanders should apologize for being lied about

Yep, my ex grandma in law would occasionally mention that she had Cherokee in her, should have been like 1/16th or something. She was surprised when her Ancestry DNA results showed no native ancestry at all.

Also the whole "but she was a republican until the 90's" thing really wears on me too, the lady created the CFPB, she's not faking being for fixing the system, she educated herself and came to question the positions she grew up on, as a person from Oklahoma who has like 3 brothers in the military or whatever. I likewise grew up in a conservative family and it took some education and thinking to realize what horse poo poo all that stuff was and get onboard with socialism as a solution.

These purity tests drive me bonkers.

The whole sexism attack strikes me as something her ex-hillary staffers purposely leaked to force her hand, IDK. I don't hate Warren nearly as much as most of this thread, and I wouldn't mind her in the VEEP slot on Bernie's ticket to unify the progressive wing. I don't like that she stayed in for super tuesday but if she endorses sanders and hops onboard then all is forgiven from my point of view.

you're trusting a habitual liar who makes up stories about her life and family on the reg
the cfpb is crap
these aren't purity tests, they're basic pattern recognition

I'm Canadian, and my overall point is that in politics, winning matters more than ideological purity. If I were in a position where I had the best shot at getting healthcare reform and a green new deal if I suck a bunch of elderly billionaire dicks I would do it if the alternative is getting nothing. Especially since after winning there would be relatively little to stop me from loving the aforementioned billionaires right back.

you're so removed from reality that you think bernie could suck billionaire dick and 1) be believed by billionaires 2) keep the support he has of which a lot is based on him calling out "millionahs and billionahs"

winning>purity is generally speaking right, but this has nothing to do with it

If Bernie has so much baggage that he simply cannot be credibly believed if he tried to compromise then that just makes him a bad candidate who was never going to win.
