There are other Dem's who appear far more "Moonbat" than Warren.The problem with putting Warren in the liar basket over her claim of a distant Native American heritage is that no matter how small, DNA tests prove some validity to her claim. Hence, the argument is not if she has Native American ancestry, but how much. In addition, many Americans claim heritage they can not easily prove. We live in a day and age when anyone can have their ancestry researched and often find shocking results. We see examples in news reports and TV commercials all the time.Not if gr-gr grandmother was only part Native American. There was some white, as well as black, mixing. I saw a genealogy of Warren's and that individual was listed in one place as Native and in another as White. Half breed? It was enough to put you in the "Injun" basket back then, same as now.That's not possible. If her mother's grandmother's mother was native American, that would make Liz 1/16. Go check the actual ratio again, it's CONSIDERABLY lower than 1/16. You'd have to backtrack another 5 or 6 generations to find the culprit, given that she's somewhere in the 1/500-1/1024 range, if I recall correctly.
Couldn't have been a half breed, either. That would put Warren at 1/32. I just checked the report, and I do stand corrected on my prior post. Apparently she's between 1/64th and 1/1024th. That puts mother's grandmother's mother between 1/4 and 1/64. Simple powers of two here, try to keep track.
Also, what puts you in the "injun" basket, these days, as many members of the Cherokee nation explained in the wake of the DNA test fiasco, is actually being a part of a native American community. Sharing their experiences. Pointing to a distant ancestor only puts you in the "injun" basket insofar as it allows you to claim it on college and job applications and potentially benefit from AA admissions/hiring policies.
Any attempts to make an issue of Warren lying will give her and her supporters' reason for making Trump's endless history of being a prolific compulsive serial malicious habitual liar far more serious than Warren's at best, Warren will be accused of exaggerating. Dem's will be looking for excuses for slamming Trump for his endless lies.
Given Trump's lie is proven, who really cares beyond the 40% who will vote for him even if he declares a 'final solution' for illegal immigrants?
Rather, I think Harris' image issues go more to "moonbat liberal" … fair or not.
Well, again it seems to me "moonbat" to say "i'm native American." She is a white law professor with some native American DNA, and we are ALL mongrels (aside from Trump who is beyond dispute of aryan Blood). It's just evidence of moonbat liberal nuttiness, imo.
Policywise, I'd agree she's not that horrible in reality … beyond the free college and single payer and HC for illegal aliens..... all of which have pushed up Trump 3% in polls.
