You know, it’s not the least bit shocking that we’re already seeing elitist attacks from our supposed intellectual betters on the left on DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Elizabeth wrote earlier about one such case: Jimmy Kimmel’s swipe at Mullin’s working-class roots, which involved leaving college to take over his father’s plumbing business after his father got sick.
Relatedly, it’s also not terribly surprising to see attacks made on Mullin’s Native American heritage, something we saw earlier this week when a leftist influencer decided to try and cast doubt on Mullin’s ancestral history simply because he was “pasty white.”
Unfortunately for the far-left clout chaser, who goes by the handle “USMCLiberal” and who frequently makes false, incendiary claims, he also nicknamed Mullin “Sh*tting Bull” and compared his story to the Elizabeth Warren “Fauxcahontas” controversy, the latter of which was extensively documented at Prof. Jacobson’s Warren Wiki page, an effort that has been credited for aiding in the fall of her failed 2020 presidential campaign:
When tracking the reasons Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential bid fell short, don’t forget the conservative law professor in Ithaca, New York, who wouldn’t let the world forget that the Massachusetts Democrat for years had identified herself as an American Indian.Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson created and maintained the Elizabeth Warren Wiki for seven years. The site documents the controversies that have dogged her political career, starting with her disputed claims of Cherokee ancestry.“Americans will vote for many different types of characters, but the one thing that I think is devastating is when someone is viewed as inauthentic, as a faker,” said Mr. Jacobson. “She was never able to shake that, and that all originated with the Native American problem.”
USMC Liberal’s original tweet, the shadow of which can be seen here, has since been deleted, and there’s no web archive page for it as of this writing. But Redditors got a screengrab of it, which I’ve shared below:
It didn’t take long for X users to point out some of the many differences between the two, to the extent that it got Community Noted:
Conservative radio host Dana Loesch shared some receipts:
Warren didn’t say she had “Native American heritage.”She filled out her 1986 Texas bar registration card by hand writing “American Indian.” She claimed she was Cherokee, i.e. a member of Cherokee Nation.She had Fordham Law Review verbatim list her as Harvard Law School’s first “woman of color.”She plagiarized various French recipes and claimed they were her Cherokee family’s historic foods (crab dip with mayo?) in her Pow Wow Chow cookbook.So your progressive, racist mindset doesn’t get to disqualify the ACTUAL American Indian because his skin displeases you.
Just like Warren has quietly tried to move past the Fauxcahontas days, USMC Liberal appears to be trying to move on from his laughable suggestion that both Warren’s and Mullins’ stories are similar.
I mean, I kinda don’t blame him when you look at what could potentially happen when Mullin feels slighted.
Oklahoma Wrestling Hall of Famer, former MMA fighter, plumber, former House member, U.S. Senator, and now DHS Secretary. As Mullin would say, not bad for a small-town guy from Westville, OK.
