warren didn’t lie about being native, but she definitely misrepresented the degree to which she is

if that’s the worst “lie” she’s told, then she’s doing better than most

no, that was a flat out lie if he called it THE biggest crowd ever

i don’t remember exactly what he said, but there is a difference, and words matter. saying it was one of the biggest would have been a misrepresentation, but saying it was THE biggest would be a flat out lie

good try tho

Deception is deception.

One was potentially consequential, while the other was not.

You have no idea WTF you're babbling about. The Black Hebrews are a Washington fixture, and their rhetoric is notoriously anti-gay, among other things.

Or are you equating a blackout game with decades of running around DC shouting about how the Fa***ts are taking over the country?
You have no idea wtf I am babbling about. I know exactly what the meaning and intent of my post was.
I have no doubt you are well informed about the "Black Hebrews" in DC. Now let me ask you this, are they ALL pieces of shit? Or a few, some, many, most? I don't know the definitive answer. Perhaps you do.
What I do know is... As someone who has spent time with Morris Dees (in Chicago at an event honoring my father) and the members of the band the Black Israelites (in Jerusalem) I made an effort to learn about the beliefs and objectives/motives of the "Black Hebrews".
Yes, no doubt the guys standing outside the Capitol harassing the Catholic kids are assholes. My question is are all the "Black Hebrews"? I know people who have beliefs that I completely disagree with but I still think they are decent people and I have no problem being friends with them.

My "equating" was that I feel people are quick to judge an entire religion/race/nationality/school/whatever based on the actions of a few individuals. I think you agree with me in that regard. Maybe you don't.

You provided a social media post stating a gunman was a "follower" of the Black Hebrew Israelite Movement and there were postings connected to his social page with anti-police and anti-Jewish writings.
Cool, that guy is/was a piece of shit - as are some/many (possibly most) Black Hebrew Israelites.
You want to say/think/believe ALL Black Hebrew Israelites are pieces of shit - FANTASTIC!

I admit I could be wrong on this, but it was my understanding that Warren believed she had Native American blood based on family lore. It was a part of her upbringing that, while she had no proof, she was told she was of this ancestry. She did a 23-and-me and found out she was wrong.

Trump knew about the size of the inauguration crowd from the very beginning.

If I'm correct, I think that's a pretty big distinction.

That's her version of the story, a distinction that must also be noted.

but warren wasn’t wrong

she DOES have native ancestry, just a minuscule amount. the argument that it isn’t enough is BS, imo, because there is a ton of variation in what constitutes native heritage amongst the tribes/bands themselves...some require at least 1/16th to qualify, some require 1/2

A failing of Elizabeth Warren is that she surrounds herself with people from the Harvard/Yale world that she belongs to, who don't know anything about politics, and she backs herself into corners. She doesn't seem to be a pathological liar like Trump, but DC is correct, she lied on the Bar Card.

But, mostly she did a terrible job of dealing with it when Trump tapped her for it. She gets bad advice from her advisers and then follows it.

Anyone who seriously thinks that Warren would have ever done the DNA test if she had known she was "lying", i.e., wrong, to have believed that she did have native American ancestry, is likely too dum to feed themselves.

Does this mean that she filled in "Native American" to further her career? Because she already had a BS and a JD by the time she filled this out. Maybe so.

lulz.

I mean...I posted a picture of her actual Texas bar card, on which she lists her "Race" as "American Indian." Even if she were 1/16 Cherokee -- which she isn't -- she isn't Cherokee, because she does NOT have a direct ancestor on the Dawes Rolls. She flat out lied. And you can blame me all you want for it, but it doesn't change the fact that her direct ancestors killed Cherokee and settled illegally on Cherokee land, and then she stole Cherokee identity to suit her own purposes -- whatever they may be.

That's NOT disingenuous. It's factual.

It doesn't mean she's a worse person than Donald Trump. And it doesn't mean that she should barred from public life. But it is a lie, bald-faced and inexcusable.

Which, of course, is why she apologized for it.
