Elections Challenger to Elizabeth Warren's Senate seat uses sign calling her "fake Indian"

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

She’s political “tainted meat”.


It’s actually a fairly politically savvy move from the “real Indian”. He’s a nobody, and there’s no better way to gain attention than to take the gloves off and fight dirty.

The worst you losers could dig up on Warren is that she said she’s Native American.

But you’ll gladly take a corrupt president who’s in bed with Russia and has had Moreno lawsuits against him that Monsanto

Funny stuff. Veryyyyy funnny stuff

Can you support this claim? I've never even heard it alleged before. I had heard that she used it when applying to teach, but that was debunked. Wasn't mentioned at all at her first post, and she was recruited by Harvard, and the people involved in that process say that they had no awareness of any Native American connection.

Ironically, when I go to the below link, I see the article, then am immediately and automatically redirected to a "Page Not Found" destination despite that script & adblocking isn't responsible for this trigger (I tested). Odd.

Nevertheless, successfully stopping the load allowed me to avoid that. The text preloads without the images, so I can view and copy the text:
Did Elizabeth Warren check the Native American box when she ‘applied’ to Harvard and Penn?

The Boston Herald reported in April that Warren had listed herself as a minority in the American Association of Law Schools directory and that Harvard Law School had touted her supposed lineage when the program faced doubts about faculty diversity.

Critics pounced on the news, suggesting Warren had feigned Native American ancestry to enhance her teaching prospects.

The Democratic candidate stumbled early on in reacting to this controversy. At one point, Warren cited remarks that her aunt Bea made about high cheekbones in the family as evidence of her indigenous ancestry. She said she listed herself as a minority in the professional listings merely to connect with “people like me,” noting that it was “not a particularly good use for the directory, because it never happened.”

Warren first listed herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools Directory of Faculty in 1986, the year before she joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She continued to list herself as a minority until 1995, the year she accepted a tenured position at Harvard Law School.

This is concerning the faculty position:

Harvard hired Warren for a temporary position in 1992, and the law school reported a Native American woman on its federally mandated affirmative-action report. The program did not report a Native American woman for 1993 through 1995, during which time Warren was back at Penn — she had spurned Harvard’s initial offer of a tenured position, according to a Globe report...

Warren has said that she provided information about her purported Native American background to the universities after she was hired, saying it “came up in lunch conversation.” The campaign declined to tell the Globe whether the Democratic candidate provided information about her lineage to Harvard and Penn verbally or by checking a box on a form.

The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines “American Indian or Alaska Native” employees as those “having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.” A Globe article confirmed that Harvard relied on this standard for its 1992-1993 and 1995-1996 federal affirmative-action reports, for which the school listed a Native American woman -- widely believed to be Warren.

Can't prove it, but to the letter of the law, I can't prove Trump's collusion, either, despite that no sane, intelligent human being out there would believe for one second the Trumps left that meeting without taking Veselnitskaya's prepared folder on the Clinton campaign.

Anyone who reads that article in full that comes away not reviling Warren's clear lack of character and integrity with regard to this issue, and how she has portrayed herself within that narrative, is a partisan hack.

“Russia”



LOLOLOLOLOLLLLL



Btw, her Indian lie isn’t the problematic thing for me, it’s her brand of “never gonna happen in a million years” politics that make me completely disregard anything she has to say. It’s a policy pipedream.

I’m a pragmatist.

Whereas he is the "real Indian," being that he was born in India.

Despite Massachusetts being a deep blue state and Indian Americans generally voting Democratic, this is of course a Republican candidate.

The best part is that, while Warren merely listed herself as part-Native in a directory and received no benefit from the claim, he actually is appropriating and exploiting Native American identity and symbolism for tangible gain, as he is spreading campaign signs with Warren wearing a Native ceremonial headdress.

Truthfully, Ayyadurai looks poised to join a very rich history of great Indian Americans in the Republican Party, following in the footsteps of conspiracy theorist, fictional filmmaker, and convicted fraud Dinesh D'Souza, and professional charlatan, economic nincompoop, and the only man in American history who can validly claim to have made Louisiana a worse place, Bobby Jindal.



Oh, and he's calling the City of Cambridge "fascists" hired by Warren to attack his First Amendment rights for saying his signs contravene local zoning rules. (FYI, those rules have been held repeatedly to be fully constitutional).

Warren claimed Native American status when applying to college.

That follow up post doesn't relate to your initial claim at all. Were you confused, or are you simply deflecting?

This might be the dumbest criticism of Elizabeth Warren I've ever read. Her policy platform is the very epitome of pragmatism.

She's a Keynesian centrist. She, a former Republican, has advocated for market-based fiscal policies aimed at protecting consumers, preventing fraud, holding large institutions responsible, and stabilizing markets through demand-side economics. Her "policy pipedream" can be found throughout the world and was largely implemented in this country 1935-1970 and, to an extent, 2008-2016 -- to some great success. The CFPB, you know the regulatory agency currently being railroaded by the Trump administration? That's all her. There is nothing that she advocates that isn't completely run-of-the-mill.

You're not a pragmatist. You're just a person who says they are a pragmatist to excuse not having to learn about policy or support candidates on substantive bases. Your "pragmatism" is, to the extent that I can say that it's a genuine delusion, at best nihilism. You'd say the same thing about Bernie Sanders (which, though still dumb since his philosophy is likewise quite common, would have at least more credibility).

The only proper response for Warren is to get Taco from the show the league, to show up with a sign that says Ayyadurai is my Eskimo brother, Shiva bless.

Don't play dumb you were calling Native Americans Indian out of ignorance.

 

[xcvbn]

False.

Bernie promised the fucking world for free, with no clue how to pay for it (because that would be impossible), and with full knowledge that there was no hope of actually passing any of it.

Bernie was the biggest liar in the 16 race, and that is truly an amazing feat.

Still waiting on that wall...

Wow the Indian Removal Act must have worked better than I thought

Go call a native American Indian and see how it goes for you.

 

[Trotsky]

? Your reading comprehension is quite bad.

Did you not clearly see me mentioning Indian Americans directly after that? Did you think that I was saying Bobby Jindal and Dinesh D'Souza were Native Americans?

 

[Limbo Pete]

[Trotsky]

Go call a native American Indian and see how it goes for you.

Also, Native Americans, at least last I checked, actually prefer the term American Indians. It's inaccurate, but I'm guessing it's because they've branded their ethnicity on the term over the centuries (Indian casinos, etc.). I say "Native American" because it's accurate and "American Indian" is less so, but that's beside the point.

I don't understand that reference. The first few seasons of that show were passable, but the last season was legitimately one of the worst that I've ever seen.

 

[Fawlty]

You'll see your mistake if you read the source Trotsky posted.

But to your reply, I've found different Natives/Indians/(insert tribe) have different views on that. My sample size is only, like, 10? Maybe less? Not a discussion I get into usually. But I haven't gotten any shit for calling somebody an Indian before. That sounds like something some stuck-up blackjack dealer would complain about. When you're friendly it's not really an issue, and if you're not friendly or don't know the person, the discussion rarely goes that direction.

Definitely hit and miss. I think the Eskimo brothers episode was in the first few seasons. Worth watching if you haven't seen that one. One of the better episodes.

Why are your posts so bad?

American Indian as a complete term is less common. Most native people i've ever known will say just "native" or maybe indian, and then follow from that point by using their specific nation.
"I'm native."
"What tribe?"
"______" or "______ nation".
"Indian" is a tricky word though. It's fine a lot, if not most of the time, but definitely not all of the time.

I just read your post again my bad I thought you were calling Warren Indian.
