The media has attacked President Donald Trump for calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” and has said little of the many lies Sen. Warren has told about her “Cherokee” heritage.
Various media members and Warren herself have feigned offense at the “racial slur,” but the real offense is in Warren faking her ancestry to get ahead professionally and politically.
Legal Insurrection created a Wiki page documenting the full saga that followed the discovery of Warren’s “heritage,” and the story is absolutely insane.
In 1996, a Harvard Crimson article referred to Warren as Native American. Warren claimed that she had no idea why the school was labeling her as such and that it never came up during the hiring process. Then, in 1997, a Fordham Law Review article described her as Harvard Law’s “first woman of color,” based on a “telephone interview with Michael Chmura, News Director, Harvard Law.”
