Remember when President Donald Trump got himself into some trouble for calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas”?
“That’s very offensive!” one journalist could be heard interjecting, to which Trump sarcastically apologized before calling her “Pocahontas” a few more times.
It’s a bit amusing that liberals would be more offended at Trump calling Warren “Pocahontas” than the reason he’s calling her that. Remember: Warren lied about being Native American when applying for a job at Harvard Law School. Considering that she was only one of two Ivy League law professors in the nation to not posses a law degree from an Ivy League school, it’s extremely likely that affirmative action came to her aid.
Harvard celebrated Warren as the first minority women to be granted tenure at their university.
But that’s not what bothers liberals – it’s Trump pointing out that she did that?
Well, he’s not the only one drawing attention to it. As you’d imagine, actual Native Americans don’t appreciate Warren being the Rachel Dolezal of their race. According to Fox News,
A Cherokee woman joined Jesse Watters to criticize Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for refusing to back down on her claim of Cherokee ancestry.
Watters said Warren was recognized by Harvard University as their first minority female faculty member after the 68-year-old applied to the job as a Native American.
“As a mixed Native woman, I get to relive the stereotypes that Warren perpetuates every day,” Rebecca Nagle of Oklahoma told Watters.
“I’m not ‘part-Cherokee’, I am Cherokee,” she said. “[We’re] bit fractions of imagined Indians that used to exist. [Warren should] take responsibility for her false claim.”
Watch below:
Hilariously, Warren’s senatorial election opponent, Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai (I-Mass.), who is an immigrant from India, has played off her claims, calling himself the “real” Indian in the race. He sent her a 23andMe DNA test as a gift, which she refused.
I'm deeply saddened @SenWarren refused my thoughtful (gift-wrapped) Birthday Gift: the 23&me DNA Test Kit. Most unfortunate! #FakeIndian pic.twitter.com/BI7F20wDW8

We can only wonder why.

Is there some significance in the use of Cherokee? There were many native American tribes, why is nobody claiming ancestral connections with them?
I take it that Elizabeth Warren is the one who looks like her ancestry is pretty much 100% Swedish?
Yeah, thought so. Is she really that stupid?
Cherokee Woman, Stay Away From Me-he-he
Don’t come a knockin’ ’round door
I don’t wanna see your face no more-whore-whore
I am part Cherokee and have no doubt about it yet I am now waiting for my DNA test results to see for myself exactly how much. I don’t know why she would turn down that kit unless she is actually lying..oh, no, that is not possible from the lying left, is it?
My father looked soooo Cherokee we tried to get him to go to Hollywood and work in the movies, but he wasn’t interested. They would have loved him there.
Claiming indigenous heritage in order to get a job reflects Warren´s character. Extremely lacking.
Her snow-job skills are reflected by members throughout congress.
