A Bee in Her War Bonnet: Sen. Warren’s Tall Tales
Sen. Elizabeth Warren can never bring herself to apologize for falsely claiming Native American heritage (“Liz’s ‘Indian’ dilemma,” Jonathan Tobin, PostOpinion, March 13).
Too much of her academic advancement and subsequent political rise was based on that claim.
For Sen. Warren to admit the truth at this late stage would strip her of what little credibility she has left.
Like other leftists, Warren might believe that lies that advance “the cause” — in this case her rise as a progressive warrior — are virtuous. Peter Skurkiss Stow, Ohio
What a great column about the wannabe Native American senator.
Warren may think she’s Native American. But as President Ronald Reagan correctly noted about liberals a long time ago, they think “so many things that are not so.” Rob Branson Atlanta, Ga.
“Pocahontas” Warren applied for a job as a Harvard professor, claiming to be an American Indian.
Harvard accepted the lie. Because of this, it could check off two boxes to show diversity: female and minority.
If a politician on the right falsely claimed to be American Indian, the media would be doing their due diligence to investigate.
I’m glad we have a president like Trump, who doesn’t cower to those on the left like Warren. Andrew Shapiro Ozone Park
Not only did I find Warren’s claim hilarious, it is completely true.
Any person born in this country is a native American. The only ex- clusions are those who are Native Indigenous. There’s a huge difference between the two. Dino Rívera Bristol, Va.
Harvard was originally founded to educate Native American boys as well as to teach the young men of New England.
Warren would not have been the first Native American at Harvard, if she is, in fact, authentic.
I would be surprised if she ever submitted to a DNA test. S. Simonich Seattle, Wash.
I’m tired of Warren’s pathetic claims of being part Native American. Sure, you can take pride in it, but don’t expect special treatment.
My father’s family, being from Tennessee, also had Native American heritage. As a boy, I bragged to a friend that I had Cherokee blood in me and his reply: “Everyone here does.”
I’m also distantly related to Dolly Parton, but I don’t get into Dollywood for free. John Clabough Pine Bush
