The Elizabeth Warren Cherokee saga is like opening up a Russian matryoshka doll, there’s always something else inside. Or perhaps more appropriately, like peeling back The Onion. Please say this is not soooooo! From Michael Patrick Leahy: The credibility of Massachusetts Democratic  Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren...

Huh? you say.  Pay attention, you’ll get an education like I just did. Andrew Bolt of the Herald Sun in Australia  linked to one of my Elizabeth Warren posts in his post titled, Cherokee no more.  The following sentences at the end of his post jumped out...

Elizabeth Warren’s narrative of being a descendant of the Cherokee people emboldened Warren not only to consider herself Native American, but also to identify with the most victimized of the victimized. One doesn’t have to be a scholar of Native American history to know of the Trail of...

Throughout her career and political campaign, Elizabeth Warren has found victims everywhere she looked, including when she looked in the mirror and saw an alleged descendant of one of the most historically victimized groups, Native Americans.
