Why would she not understand that what she showed would not be enough to quiet the controversy? Did they not talk to the Indian nation representatives to find out what would be legit? Was she just stubbornly proud and wouldn't listen to anyone (this would point to the sincerity of her belief in her heritage - and a lot of naivete). Someone trying to game the system would know to just shut up about it. But as a senator, she should have had the resources to be able to research and know that what she was doing was not going to accomplish anything. That part is confusing to me.
JimThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostIt suggests she was cautious. Given Trumps behavior, it was wise. Not wise enough in the end, but no, it would be a serious lack of judgement to announce ahead of time such a test was being done. So I don't thing that in and of itself indicates she had anything more than normal, reasonable caution over the issue.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostWarren has said that as a child she was told by older family members including her mother, that she had Native American ancestry. And her DNA tests indicate she is right. The only one making an issue over this is Trump with constant Pocahontas references. He did similar re Obamas birthplace.
But keep repeating your nonsense. It amuses me.

Alternatively, she really did understand it and expected the liberal media to dutifully cover for her and push the false narrative she wanted.
Either way, she's not going to live this one down. This is going to dog her for the rest of her political career.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Warren Took DNA Test to Help Rebuild 'Trust in Government'
Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she changed her mind and took a DNA test proving her heritage because Americans' trust in government is "at an all-time low" and she wants to rebuild it.

The political environment eats people alive over the smallest of mistakes. Even if I was positive I'd run it past some basic sanity checks first. And given who trump is, I'd wait till the results came back before making any announcements. A botched test. Unknown other factors. Many legitimate issues exist which could make one look foolish even in the best of circumstances. I'd wait. As it was, she still wasn't cautious enough to avoid further derision.

The indisputable fact is she claimed she was a Native American while at University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. The question is did this claim help her get employment there. While Harvard denied it they were sure mighty quick to publicly promote her as their first "person of color" faculty person.
