I believe in the principle of Due Process |
Senator Elizabeth Warren is in some huge trouble. After claiming she has Cherokee ancestry, Warren is now facing Shiva Ayyaduri, a Bombay-born independent running against Warren for the Massachusetts seat. Ayyadurai is running with the slogan “Only a real Indian can defeat a fake Indian.” Ayyadurai sent Warren a DNA testing kit back in July. The exchange exploded on social media. “‘That’s the nightmare for Elizabeth Warren, because I can attack her from the left,” Mr. Ayyudurai said. “I can say, ‘Wait a minute, what do you know about the journey of a person of color? You know nothing. This is all theory to you. Because you did lie. You took advantage of affirmative action.”” Six years ago Warren won the Senate seat despite her “fake Indian” claims. The issue is facing new light with Warren looking at re-election, and even a presidential primary. President Trump lit the controversy once again after referring to Warren as “Pocahontas” during an Oval Office ceremony on behalf of the Navajo Code Talkers. Warren responded by accusing Trump of using a “racial slur” “’He thinks that somehow he’s going to shut me up with that, and it’s just not going to happen,’ Ms. Warren told CNN. ‘It didn’t work in the past; it’s not going to work in the future.'” Despite the fallacious statement, Warren beat Senator Scott Brown by 8 percentage points. Now, Warren is being challenged by the left and the right. “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah made his comments on the issue with his opening monologue by mocking Warren’s Cherokee claims as well as the recipe she submitted to the 1984 Cherokee cookbook. “‘That would be like finding out I’m completely white, I have no African blood, and yet I wrote the book ‘Snacks for Blacks,’’ the comedian deadpanned.” Although there is no proof that Warren received any special benefits from her claims, she has no evidence to back her claim, as reported by Politico. “‘Elizabeth Warren might never live down the charge of falsely claiming Native American roots,’ PolitiFact said. ‘The controversy emerged during the Democrat’s successful Senate run in Massachusetts in 2012, and it continues to dog her.'” Critics are saying that Warren only has herself to blame for failing to acknowledge that she misinterpreted herself. “‘Elizabeth Warren needs to apologize and admit that she knowingly claimed an employment status she was not entitled to claim,’ said Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson. ‘Ignoring her own conduct, and pretending that those who criticize her are the problem, has worked so far for her in Massachusetts, but I don’t think it will work if Warren has presidential ambitions.'” Jacobson created the website “Elizabeth Warren Wiki” in 2013. The website documents that Warren has been referring to herself as American Indian while worked her way up at the University of Pennsylvania and then Harvard law schools. The New England Historic Genealogical Society had no proof that Warren had a Cherokee blood line. Warren has been claiming that “being Native American has been part of my story I guess since the day I was born.” Warren claims that her aunt Bea said that her father had high cheekbones, therefore she has Indian blood in her. Death certificates indicate that both Warren’s mother and aunt were white, according to Cherokee Nation genealogist Twila Barnes. Harvard officials have said that Warren’s ethnicity had no impact on their decision to hire her. However, Peter wood claims that her Cherokee descent made her a more attractive candidate. “‘Harvard, like almost all colleges and universities, hides the degree to which racial preferences play a role in hiring and admissions,’ Mr. Wood said. ‘I would be surprised if Harvard ever came forward to acknowledge that Sen. Warren’s purported ethnicity played a part in her appointment. So we are left with a conjecture, but a very plausible one.'” Warren’s message that “the system is rigged against the average person” is completely ironic considering that Warren was later lauded as Harvard Law School’s “first woman of color”. “‘Warren tried to rig the system in her favor by claiming a minority status to which she was not entitled,’ Mr. Jacobson said. ‘I don’t think voters nationally will forgive that without a heartfelt and unconditional apology.'” Mike McKenna, a Republican strategist, predicts that Warren will get a pass if she runs in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race. Warren even made light of the comments in a fundraising plea on Monday. “‘You might have heard that Donald Trump likes to call me ‘Pocahontas.’ He does it on Twitter, at rallies, and even in official White House meetings,’ she said in an email as reported by the Boston Herald. ‘Let’s show Donald Trump that we’re sick of his racist slurs by getting to work to fight his agenda.'” Ayyadurai is proving to be a strong candidate against Warren. By running as an independent, he has to gather only 10,000 valid signatures to qualify for the general election ballot. Ayyadurai is hosting a “DNA Dance Party” on Dec. 12 in honor of his birthday. He even invited Warren. “‘She’s got a major problem with me, I’m telling you, because I can expose her for what she is’ Mr. Ayyadurai said. ‘What Trump did is not racist. She’s the racist. … She shoplifted some other group’s race identity, and then when she’s exposed on it, she calls other people racist. And it’s a legitimate issue.'” Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Vote the BASTIDS OUT! |
Yeah, she's a phony. I'm from MA and all I can say is good luck to anyone running against Lizzie. Sadly this is the state that kept sending our drunk, car killing senator back to the Senate over and over again. It's like the old record on the turnstile that keeps skipping and repeating the same old lyrics. John "Building a wall will violate the rights of millions of illegals." [Nancy Pelosi] | |||

This is about the most entertaining thing we’ve got going. I think it’s hilarious. I hope she keeps being re-elected, since Mass is going to send God Damned Commies anyway, as long as they don’t have the majority, anyway. Then it ain’t funny, but until then.....

I have not yet begun to procrastinate |
Scott Brown won Dead Ted's senate seat in a 2010 special election with Tea Party support. Throwing MA and Democrap liberals into a tizzy, they ran Pocahontas against Brown in 2013. The 2010 loss of a Dem "lock" on a senate seat lets not forget, is what started the shitstorm of the IRS and every other alphabet agency in the federal arsenal clamping down on conservative groups. Ol' prez sparklefarts couldn't risk having another R in congress and turned the dogs loose. Suck it Warren. I hope he kicks your ass. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Shiva Ayyaduri. Karma, times two. In Hinduism, Shiva is The Destroyer of Evil. Were I a Massachusetts conservative, I'd vote for him on that basis alone. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

Vile as Faux O'Hontas is, and as much as I'd like to see her forced to do real work next election, does anyone know whether the 'real Indian' would be any better?
The very idea of 'left of Warren' is a daunting thought. How about something more like Scott Brown, take II? | |||

It's the Peoples Republic of Taxachusetts, so it will be one leftie or another. Warren has national potential, so it would be good to see her squashed. That, plus she is such an opportunistic phony. Slinging Bull. Lieawatha. Fauxcahontas. --Fun to watch, for sure. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

There is no "left of Warren." If you try you go all the way around and end up on the right. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

You can bet your bottom dollar that this complete fraud now wishes she had never mentioned anything about her phony Indian heritage, because those claims are going to be her undoing. You can see the handwriting on the wall. Mmmm, squaw, hear me- Chief say you fucked. No, that not pass at you. Get out of tent. Go make dinner for braves. Keep mouth closed from now on. | |||

http://www.politifact.com/trut...nd-her-native-ameri/ At a time when law schools faced public pressure to show greater ethnic diversity within their faculty, the Harvard's Crimson newspaper quoted a law school spokesman in 1996 saying Warren was Native American. The Boston Globe followed the Herald with a report that the Association of American Law Schools listed Warren as a minority law teacher each year from 1986 to 1994. In that time, Warren went from being a law professor at the University of Texas, to the University of Pennsylvania, and finally in 1995 to Harvard University http://www.thecrimson.com/arti...y-lacking-at-hls-pa/ from 1996 Harvard Crimson Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American and one is Hispanic, said Mike Chmura, spokesperson for the Law School. Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American. | |||
