nah, she just doesnt care about what birther types think.
You and I both know you have not. You had plenty of chance to present your evidence and what was presented simply fell far far far short of being anything which proved Warren lied and was not merely relating family lore than had been passed down over many generations. And that is the same situation as millions upon millions of Americans.

Again, I have no problem with the question. That is fine.
What I have a problem with is the racist attachment of an Indian nickname to Warren to open mock her. As an earlier poster wrote so incisively - it would be like calling a person who claimed some african american roots MAMMY.
Why does the far right feel its necessary to approach this question in this racist way?
An honest answer to that is that racism has long been part and parcel of the life blood of the far right and there are many of its adherents who relish the opportunity to be intentionally and publicly racist in this manner and then hide behind the Halloween costume of pretending its only a political discussion.
And Trump played right into this the way he does lots of things trying to curry favor with the far right.
Racism of the left.
Bill Maher had Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on the show over the weekend, and he called her out for failing to connect with the Democratic Party's normal base of working-class voters. When she attempted to push back and claim that they did like her, Maher cut in to say "they don't like you, Pocahontas."

I'm still waiting for the hand wringing and castigation.
Who called her claim into question?

Seriously, it's a win win for Warren regardless of the DNA results.
It disrespects Pocahontas.IMO
Maybe he coulda used "Squaw" or "Injun" instead. Those are funnier and even more stereotype names.Rofl...apparently you missed the joke being that Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American when she's not.
No. DNA showing any Native American ancestry would help her. DNA showing none would sink her.
I beg to differ. DNA showing no Native American ancestry, she does a big ol mea culpa saying all she knew was her family's stories and they were obviously wrong. Credibility ^^^^
DNA test shows Native American ancestry, even a small percentage she waves it the faces of the RWNJ's screaming neener-neener. Credibility ^^^^
Win win
Was pocohantas Cherokee? But come on WCH, tell us what you really believe and or feel about Warren. We know for starts that she's a woman. An ex-law professor at Harvard. She's a US Senator. She's not a subscriber to your political philosophy (which automatically condemns her as a human being).
Would you say that she lies as frequently as Trump?
No one on the free side of a mental institution lies as much as Trump.
His lies do not excuse hers.
Nor does your comment excuse Trumps', in fact Trump is much more serious a liar because of his position and power. I don't care about someone who lies about their ancestry, it's insignificant, if indeed she has "lied' and is simply not mistaken. But I do care about a fat-headed Moron telling lies about entire groups of people, I do care about a president with questionable business practices not revealing his taxes.
So in the end, the orange man is far and away the greater criminal and greater threat to the country. Or do you honestly think world leaders and allies aren't laughing.
You won't score points here criticizing DJT. I think he's a crude vulgarian.
Fauxcahontas lied to gain personal advantage, on the backs of Native Americans.
You're right. Nobody cares what she says she is cause most know what she actually is.
Name an American politician who hasn't
Elisabeth Warren Haters...,,
You think we need to have Warren executed? After all such a claim could put America in harms way. It could be a national security issue if all of the Native Americans decide to engage in an uprising and try to take America back because the white woman discredited every Native American by claiming she had 1/32 Cherokee blood. That's some devastating stuff.
Meanwhile Trump continues on his warpath to switch positions on everything he claimed during the campaign and says it's okay to do that - because he is saying it's okay. The Guinness World Book of Records is about to explode from all of his record breaking number of lies, which one day might have tragic consequences for all of America - many times worse than a woman who lied about possessing an ever-so-slightly, teeny-tiny ancestral heritage that involves Native Americans.
Our nation is falling apart because Americans love corrupt, lying politicians. They are obsessed with them. Oh well. When it hurts hard enough and long enough - people will finally snap to the fact that they've created this mess. And now it's a hard pill to swallow that they've allowed themselves to be seriously exploited. :shrug:
To all of the offended Native Americans everywhere, "I'm sincerely sorry."
To all of the Trump Haters....I understand.
She lied for personal advantage. He and she are alike.
Every person on the planet has lied. But more to the topic, every politician since Washington has lied. But some lies by politicians have carried tragic consequences, which the American citizens have, is, and will pay for dearly.
The cost of Warren's lie is minor. Probably incalculably minor.
