Elizabeth Warren Identified Herself As “American Indian” On 1986 State Bar Registration

Via ZeroHedge

Fauxcahontas” is never going to live this one down.

In a report published Tuesday night, just before President Trump started his State of the Union, the Washington Post revealed that it had discovered a document where 2020 Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren, who was exposed by a DNA test that backfired late last year for having a negligible amount of Native American heritage, listed her race as “American Indian” on a registration card for the Texas State Bar in the mid-1980s.

The card lists Warren’s name, gender and the address for the University of Texas law school in Austin, where she was working at the time. On the line for “race,” Warren wrote: “American Indian.” Meanwhile, lines for “National Origin” and “Physical handicap” were left blank.

As WaPo explains, “the card is significant” because, for the first time, it shows that Warren “directly claimed the identity.”

One spokeswoman said Warren was sorry for “not more mindful of this” (presumably referring to the risks that this would all blow up in her face later in life), when she was younger, and for falsely identifying as a Native American for more than two decades.

“I can’t go back,” Warren told WaPo.

According to WaPo, the card, dated April 1986, is the first document to surface showing Warren claiming Native American heritage in her own handwriting. Her office didn’t deny the authenticity of the document.

WaPo explained that it found the card through an open-records request.

Using an open records request during a general inquiry, for example, The Post obtained Warren’s registration card for the State Bar of Texas, providing a previously undisclosed example of Warren identifying as an “American Indian.”

The card was filled out by Warren after she was admitted to the Texas bar. Her reasons for joining the bar are unclear: Though, at the time, she was doing legal work on the side, the work wasn’t anything that required her to be admitted to the bar. The date on the card coincided with her fist self-identified listing as a “minority” by the Association of American Law Schools, where she reported herself as a minority in the directory every year beginning in 1986 (the year the Association started listing minority law professors). Her name dropped off that list in 1995.

Warren also famously had her ethnicity changed to Native American from “White” in December, 1989 while working at UPenn, two years after she was hired. She also listed her ethnicity as Native American when she started working at Harvard Law School in 1995.

In a sign that Warren’s listing herself as Native American may have been more an act of self-delusion than an attempt to give herself a leg up in the world of academia, the card explicitly states that “the following information is for statistical purposes only and will not be disclosed to any person or organization without the express written consent of the attorney.”

Back in October, Warren’s decision to release her DNA test results revealed that she had a negligible level of Native American heritage (possibly as little as 1/1,024 Native) while the stunt – which backfired spectacularly – angered leaders of the Cherokee nation, who, as WaPo explained, typically exercise tight control over the process of connecting individuals with the tribe. Warren’s apology for that incident hasn’t been uniformly accepted, and there are still some who want to see a more thorough apology from Warren.

Whether this is enough to sink her primary bid remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure: We imagine President Trump will be weighing in with some more prospective campaign materials.

Of course, Elizabeth Warren is a total fucking joke and a laughingstock whose dwindling cadre of supporters is probably down to a few old white ladies in Boston – including her husband. The more interesting thing is why the Washington Post would even bother to look into this and publish it.

Despite being the official PR operation of the CIA (even before Bezos bought the newspaper), the Post still does some good journalism (if you exclude editorials). Their annual national tally of shootings by police (since 2015) has great otherwise-uncollated data (which largely contradicts Black Lives Matter’s assertion that cops disproportionately kill black men). They also have searchable maps of all known murders in most major cities since 2010. Both of these can be found pretty quickly through Google. So there is the possibility that the Post simply accidentally committed a random act of journalism. It’s more likely that they’re trying to clear the path for the chosen candidate: Kamala Harris.

I love it when the left starts eating their own.

2016 all over again. The funny thing is when I confronted my liberal buddies with the fact that the DNC was arguing in court that they had no obligation to provide a fair primary election- that they could pick a candidate to be the nominee and the primary was just for show – these liberals all shrugged their shoulders like they didn’t care. This is the current state of America.

I think she is the 2020 “Jeb!” The establishment is pushing her and giving her every break but the man and woman on the street simply do not like her. She’s an asshole.

i realize that in 2019 no one should expect privacy but how are they allowed to access private info?
on the one hand the wapo says they got it thru open records but later the article states that the card says it will not be released w/o her permission–
i’d love to see her sue,just as much as even though i find the vir. governor despicable, i still hope he refuses to resign,as a simple photo from 35 years previous should not be a big deal–

She is morphing from Faucahontas to Lieawatha yet still has no American Indian blood at all. The infinitesimal amount of Indian blood she did show on her “DNA” test is South American native. Even with that, there is no chain of custody or proof that the blood that was submitted was even her own blood. Our politicians are just so pathetic.

Why is this coming out now?

That’s easy.

Kamala (Sacred Lotus) Harris is the frontrunning candidate.

Tulsi (Holy Basil) GunGrabbard is the backup candidate.

Every other candidate is being destroyed, one skank-whore at a time, in advance of the DNC.

Kamela Harris will sever the White women from the Democrat Party. Status is Everything!

That’s why I’m voting Harris in the primary.

Also, black and hispanic men are not that crazy about the chicas running things, I don’t think. Some may identify with a “playa” like Trump (see Kanye).

Warren must have realized that being a White woman was not enough so she became a Fake Indian only to be exposed by DNA testing. In the Marxist world of victimhood and subversion of Christian Western Civilization, being a heterosexual White female is only one notch above a heterosexual White male which pretty much makes her ineligible to lead the Democratic Party. My how the times have changed since the sexually fluid Hildabeast became the Democratic nominee. The Democratic Party has now become the party of non-Europeans from the Islamic world, Black Africa, Hispanic America and Asia…with a sprinkling of degenerates, radical feminists and baby killers…which is very good news for European People of America. With such an explosive mixture of low IQ members from the third-world, all we have to do is stand back and watch the fireworks.
