Jig's Up, Cherokee Liz
Preferences: There's no truth whatever to Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's claim to Indian ancestry. She's been proved a fraud. Time for her to fess up and end this charade.
All the evidence she's offered to justify listing herself as a minority on law school directories the last 25 years has been shot down. The Harvard law professor's claims just don't stand up to scrutiny.
The New England Historical Genealogical Society this week reversed its claim it had proof of Warren's alleged Cherokee heritage. That proof was hearsay Warren fed the society, and in turn, the Boston Globe.
She cited the word "Cherokee" scrawled on a distant relative's 1894 Oklahoma marriage license.
But Breitbart.com dug the records up and found no such thing. Digging further, the news site found quite the opposite: Warren's great-great-great-grandfather rounded up Cherokees and herded them along the infamous "Trail of Tears" into Army stockades.
Shamed, the Globe had to run a correction.
Unless Warren can offer proof, she should quit her post at Harvard Law, which has touted her as its "first woman of color." She plainly wasn't hired on merit.
Warren should also withdraw from her race against Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass. Such dishonesty isn't worthy of any office, let alone one of the nation's highest.
She also owes Native Americans an apology. They're justifiably outraged over a white leftist gaming the racial spoils system (that white leftists created), and enjoying an affirmative-action leg-up at their expense.
"She needs to admit the truth," Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes said. "There is no documentation showing she has Cherokee ancestry. She needs to come clean and release her employment records."
Of course, this would be the decent thing to do. Given Warren's sleazy Wall Street-bashing, we're not holding our breath she'll take the high road.
Warren supplied Obama the intellectual foundation, shoddy as it was, for socializing banks and medicine. Senate Democrats count on her winning back Ted Kennedy's seat and helping them block GOP repeal of ObamaCare and new banking rules.
"I'm proud of my Native American heritage," Warren brazenly told CNN last week.
Her story isn't just suspect; it's been proven a lie, thanks to New Media bloggers doing the job the Democrats' shills in the Old Media refuse to do. |
