Elizabeth Warren (sometimes called "Pocahontas" or "Fauxcahontas" due to her false claims of substantial Native American ancestry[1]) is the senior far-Left Democrat United States Senator from Massachusetts who defeated Republican Scott Brown in the 2012 election. Prior to that Warren was appointed by Barack Obama as special adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner,[2] where she ran "the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."[3]
Warren has gained a reputation as a rancorous partisan Democrat and demagogue. She was the original mastermind of the "You didn't build that business" speech, later infamously plagiarized by Obama. Warren has proposed "nationalization" of U.S. corporations to achieve a socialist America.[4][5] Her liberal hypocrisy was exposed when she flatly refused to support Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democrat presidential primaries. Warren became an outspoken apologist for the corrupt Clinton Foundation's corporate contributors and pay-to-play activities.
She was a lateral hire onto the faculty of the Harvard Law School in 1995 after having listed herself as a minority of American Indian (specifically, Cherokee) descent, despite her fair-skinned appearance and a lack of persuasive documentary evidence for her claim to minority status.[6] The fair-skinned Warren obtained affirmative action preferences by falsely claiming that she was of "American Indian" descent, when in fact her heritage does not support her claim under widely accepted standards.[7] When Donald Trump ridiculed Warren's false claims of American Indian ancestry and challenged her to prove it by taking a DNA test, she responded by falsely branding Trump as a "racist". She released the results of a DNA test obtained at Stanford University in October 2018 initially claiming her as having between 1/64th and 1/512th American Indian ancestry, but was later revealed to be as little as 1/1024th ancestry. The Cherokee Nation repudiated Warren's attempts to link herself to them through DNA testing in this statement:
| “ | A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person's ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.[8] | ” |
The Wall Street Journal once reported, "The pride of Harvard Law School, Ms. Warren is a hero to the political Left for proposing a new bureaucracy to micromanage the services that banks can offer consumers. But she is also so politically controversial that no less a liberal lion than Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd has warned the White House that she probably isn't confirmable."[2]
Despite voicing opposition to Wall Street, Warren attended a donor retreat in Martha's Vineyard with several CEOs.[9]
