Report: Elizabeth Warren’s ancestor may have … rounded up Cherokee for Trail of Tears

Out: Elizabeth Warren, Native American. In: Elizabeth Warren, Jacksonian Democrat.

Man, in hindsight it’s a good thing she didn’t attend the annual Harvard Powwow yesterday after all, huh? Awwwk-ward.

"As I pointed out in my article here on Sunday, no evidence supports this claim [that her great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee]. O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford had no Cherokee heritage, was listed as “white” in the Census of 1860, and was most likely half Swedish and half English, Scottish, or German, or some combination thereof. (Note, the actual 1894 marriage license makes no claim of Cherokee ancestry.)"

"But the most stunning discovery about the life of O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford is that her husband, Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, was apparently a member of the Tennessee Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern United States and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), Tennessee—the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837."

"This new information about Ms. Warren’s true heritage came as a direct result of a lead provided to me by William Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection, who in turn had received the information from one of his readers. Jacobson, who has questioned Warren’s explanation for her law faculty listing, calls this discovery “the ultimate and cruelest irony” of the Warren Cherokee saga."

1) Brags about her Native-American heritage. 2) Gets special advantages by being part Native-American. 3) Wants nothing to do with REAL Native-Americans.

Now this.

Perhaps Warren should cancel plans to attend the next pow-wow.

It is satisfying to see a liar having to face the consequences when the truth comes out.

The modern day Trail of Tears is the 82nd Street corridor between Keystone Avenue and I-69 in Indianapolis.

And to this day,coyotes still prowl the Route of The Trail of Tears remembering the feast they had so many years ago of those Indians who died on the trail and were left behind.

If you were writing up a five-star script for a movie...this would be it, but it’s unbelievable. Scott Brown has to believe that he’s the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. It’s way too late to find a replacement and “Chief” Warren would have to find some relative in her past related to Jesus....just to pull off some win.

I don’t know why I did not think of this earlier, but there is one foolproof way to prove she is or is not a Cherokee warrior princess. Look in her wallet.
A Cherokee would have a 20 dollar bill in their wallet only if they have to. Plus they would apologize for having it.

Wow. Never thought of that. Andrew Jackson’s on the twenty. If I was a Native-American, no way in hell would I want a picture of him in my wallet. I would get rid of it as fast as possible.

***coyotes still prowl the Route of The Trail of Tears***

And I cry each day for those poor militia men who were forced to march right along with them. If the Indians had an ounce of decency they would have left sooner like the richer Indians did when they took ships to New Orleans and steam boats up river to Ft Smith.

Only the slackers had to walk overland, and when they got to Oklahoma a mini civil war broke out between the groups causing hundreds of deaths.

RC Bishops should be preparing exorcism rituals to cleanse the WH after O’s dismissal.
This does relate. Think about it.

I would love to see somebody investigate whether her TWO KIDS used this same ruse in their college and job applications and status.

“WHITE” George Zimmerman is 1/4 black and has african ancestry in his blood than 1/32th Indian Elizabeth Warren who is not a “white woman”.

I sure hope you realize he was making a joke based on that shark thing.

My old neighbors (the Cricks who were, of course, Creeks) had no problem with $20, but the school desegregationists tried to force their grandson into a majority black school because he looked too white.

I learned early to never judge Indians by color alone.

But this Warren woman looks much more like the little girl in our 5th and 6th grade whose family were from Texas and she was a blond, as were they, and their faces screamed Comanche ~ she'd been badly burned as a child in a home fire and no one had tended to her so she was covered with scar tissue.

I think she must have been darker before. Trying to recall her name.
