"There's a running joke in Indian country," said a spokesperson for the Cherokee Nation in 2012. "If you meet somebody who you wouldn't necessarily think they're Native, but they say they're Native, chances are they'll tell you they're Cherokee."
But "Cherokees are among the best documented people in the world," says David Cornsilk, the nation's preeminent Cherokee genealogist. "We probably come in third after royalty and Mormons." Between U.S. government records and the multiple existing sets of very thorough tribal kinship records, if you have Cherokee ancestry, there's bound to be documentation somewhere.
. In defending her claim, she says only, "This is what my brothers and I were told by my mom and my dad, my mammaw and my pappaw." Many people's mammaws and pappaws have told them the same thing. The interesting thing is not why Warren's clung to her family lore for so long, it's why so many white people in America claim Cherokee heritage to begin with."
And yet this is what the good people of Massachusetts elected over the son of a single mother, defended said single mom against a string of abusive boyfriends, put himself through college and law school, and served 27 years with the US Army. They willingly picked a liar to represent them, and now that liar is the Democrats' leading attack dog.
Is there anything more dispicible than a progressive?
