Elizabeth Warren's story of racist grandparents disputed by Cherokee genealogist

[volsrock]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren sought Sunday to bolster her shaky claims of Cherokee ancestry with the story of how her racist grandparents drove her parents to elope.

But Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes says that account has its own credibility issues.

Ms. Barnes, who said her research into Ms. Warren's family found "no evidence" of Native American ancestry, has challenged key elements of the senator's tale of how her parents, Pauline Reed and Donald Herring, defied his parents by running off to marry.

After Ms. Warren said in the Globe that her mother told her "nobody came to her wedding at all," Ms. Barnes looked it up and found that her mother’s friend witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by a prominent Methodist clergyman, not a justice of the peace.

"This marriage does not look like an elopement. It looks very much like a Depression-era marriage ceremony instead," said Ms. Barnes in an August 2012 post. "Sometimes people didn’t have a lot of money to spend on a wedding so they just obtained their license, got married and then went back home."

She also found a detailed wedding announcement posted in the local newspaper in Wetumka, Oklahoma.

Warren has never once said or showed she had an interest in running for president. She would be a great one. She actually cares about consumers and the rights of the people. She would be a force against bank extremes and corporate theft. She is exactly what we need. An intelligent woman president who cares about a fair playing field for the people.

The heritage thing is so irrelevant. It was created by Repubs in Mass. who had no answers against her candidacy. Experts who checked found it INCONCLUSIVE. Do you know what that means. And why does it matter?

I don't know that I would consider Warren's claims up to the level of shaky. Shaky would assume, although very little, that her claims could be true.

She's an embarrassment to all Americans.

Since she lied about her heritage to benefit from doing so, it appears as if she cares about herself and herself only.

Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes said there was "no evidence" of native American ancestry in Warren's background. That's conclusive.

At least she never claimed to be half Apache.

Difference is I can prove my heritage. Just like you can trace your roots to the first village idiot.

Every family has their anecdotal stories. Some of which are based in reality, some of which are not, some of which are parts of each.

For instance, I'll bet your parents told you that you were smart and could do anything you wanted. Yet, you turned out to be just another run-of-the-mill, two-bit, racist punk.

See how that works, bitch?

[Celticguy]

Oh what a twisted web we weave when first we practice to decieve....
So the Indian cheekbones story wasn't working so she makes up a new one about young love and that's more phoney than the first. Throw in the assertion that she never used her fake native lie to her advantage which was all ready known to be false and her house of lies is on fire all around her.
It would be unbelievable except she's a lib and we know honesty is not a virtue all too often with them.

Trump supporters HAVE to be kidding w/ stuff like this.

Do you have any sense of irony, whatsoever?
