Elizabeth Warren snubbed in 'first Native American congresswoman' media coverage
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Two Democratic candidates are each poised to become the first Native American woman elected to Congress, according to the media consensus, which has prompted the question: What about Sen. Elizabeth Fauxchahontas Warren
...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that...
Democrat Sharice Davids, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, won her House primary race Tuesday in Kansas, prompting the Kansas City Star and others to report that she would be "the first Native American woman elected to Congress" if she prevails in November.

The same has been said of Deb Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna, who captured in June the Democratic nomination for the New Mexico congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who’s running for governor.

Not mentioned in the post-primary news coverage was the senior senator from Massachusetts, an omission not lost on social media, where references to her dubious claims of Cherokee ancestry are flying thick and fast.

#4 Sure she does, CF, the capacity of pseudo-homo sinistrus to believe their own fantasies has no bounds.

#6 The problem with claiming Cherokee ancestry is that even if you are successful you'll run into a problem with the tribes actions during the US Civil War. They were on the side of the South and they kept slaves. Given the nature of the progressives some lawyer will want them to pay "reparations"
