Trump faked his heritage just like he's accusing Warren of doing

Trump gets caught lying again.

Trump faked his heritage just like he's accusing Warren of doing

Shortly after World War II, Donald Trump's father Fred falsely claimed their family was Swedish, hiding their German heritage to avoid any problems selling apartments to Jewish customers, the Boston Globe reported last year. Donald Trump was still claiming Swedish heritage as late as his 1987 book "Art of the Deal," in which he writes that his grandfather came to the U.S. from Sweden.

Why it matters: After President Trump called Sen. Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" at an event honoring Navajo Code Talkers, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders defended him saying, ""I think what most people find offensive is Elizabeth Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career."

Correction: This story initially misidentified Fred as Trump's brother, rather than his father.

Pogo says lying doesn't matter

Oops, Trump has an R behind his name now, lyeing matters again.

 

[edthecynic]

she was touted after her hire at Harvard Law School as, yes, the school’s “first woman of color.”

Harvard NEVER named who the woman was, it is just conjecture that it was her. She was hired on her own superlative merits.

 

[jillian]

we don't care or give a shit anymore about ant-Trump articles/etc because it has been beaten to death
24/7 for over a year now.......Trump this, Trump that
Trump ties his shoes wrong/etc
Trump makes 51% right turns

That isn't entirely true. Harvard DEFINITELY touted Warren as professor of Indian heritage, as did the University of Pennsylvania when she taught there.

Now , as to whether she was hired specifically because she claimed to be an Indian, that is pure speculation.

 

[Postmodernism Sux]

The point was Elizabeth Warren claimed minority status in order to obtain preferential treatment.

No she didn't. Didn't happen. It's a Rightwing myth. You people think if you repeat it often enough it becomes truth. Doesn't happen that way.

She listed herself as a minority on a legal directory reviewed by deans and hiring committees.

The University of Pennsylvania “listed her as a minority faculty member,” and she was touted after her hire at Harvard Law School as, yes, the school’s “first woman of color.”


Elizabeth Warren, Progressive Fraud

The Boston Globe article in the first link is behind a pay wall but you can read the title for a second before it comes up and somebody fortunately copy/pasted it to freerepublic:

Records shed more light on Elizabeth Warren’s minority status

well, if the freepers say so.

It's a boston globe article you laughable ****.

really, you lying insane hack? this one is from the freepers

Records shed more light on Elizabeth Warren’s minority status

Try actually reading my posts you stupid ****, the freeper article is a copy/pasted boston globe article from the first link that is behind a paywall the title and author of which you can see for a second or so before the paywall pops up.

your other loony "article" was from national review. now be quiet, you insane, vulgar piece of garbage"
.
Elizabeth Warren, Progressive Fraud

are you incapable of even sourcing your trash?

You are one dumb fucking bitch, the National Review article has two links in it, the first is the boston globe article behind the paywall:

Records shed more light on Elizabeth Warren’s minority status - The Boston Globe

That article was copy/pasted at the free republic:

Records shed more light on Elizabeth Warren’s minority status

By Noah Bierman, Globe Staff

A second law school, the University of Pennsylvania, has touted Elizabeth Warren as a minority faculty member in an official school publication, according to an online document obtained by the Globe.

The University of Pennsylvania, where Warren taught at the law school from 1987 through 1995, listed her as a minority in a “Minority Equity Report” posted on its website. The report, published in 2005, well after her departure, included her as the winner of a faculty award in 1994. Her name was highlighted in bold, the designation used for minorities in the report.

A spokesman for the law school did not immediately return a phone message today.

The reference offers another piece of evidence that Warren was identified as a Native American as part of her professional career. Warren has said she was unaware that Harvard University, her current employer, had described her as a Native American when it was under fire for a lack of diversity on its law school faculty.

Warren has said she has long believed she has Native American ancestry, based on family lore, but has not documented the connection and is not enrolled in a tribe. One genealogist has found evidence that Warren is 1/32 Cherokee. Faculty and deans from each of the law schools where she has taught have said her ancestry was not a factor in her hiring.

The second is to Politico:

Fordham piece called Warren Harvard Law's 'first woman of color'

I mean you are laughably fucking stupid, you should probably just give up and kill yourself.

No it was "purely" debunked!!!

From the earlier cited link:
The Herald has twice quoted Charles Fried, the head of the Harvard appointing committee that recommended Warren for her position in 1995, saying that the Democratic candidate’s heritage didn’t come up during the course of her hiring. “It simply played no role in the appointments process,” he said. “It was not mentioned and I didn’t mention it to the faculty.”

Harvard hired Warren for a temporary position in 1992, and the law school reported a Native American woman on its federally mandated affirmative-action report. The program did not report a Native American woman for 1993 through 1995, during which time Warren was back at Penn — she had spurned Harvard’s initial offer of a tenured position, according to a Globe report.

Warren finally accepted a tenured teaching job at Harvard in 1995. An announcement of the professor’s hire that year in the Harvard Crimson did not mention her lineage or say that she was the law school’s first Native American faculty member.

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Trump was not trying to exploit the Affirmative Action system like Warren was.

Hey lying bastard, a link to a credible source as to that accusation. You cannot supply it because that never happened. Just another lying bigoted asshole.

No need for the personal insults.

“Harvard hired Warren for a temporary position in 1992, and the law school reported a Native American woman on its federally mandated affirmative-action report.”

‘Penn’s 2005 Minority Equity Report identified her as the recipient of a 1994 faculty award, listing her name in bold to signify that she was a minority.”

“Warren first listed herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools Directory of Faculty in 1986, the year before she joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She continued to list herself as a minority until 1995, the year she accepted a tenured position at Harvard Law School.”

Sooooo either Harvard is lying or Warren is lying.

Did Elizabeth Warren check the Native American box when she ‘applied’ to Harvard and Penn?

Your own link says that the GOP through Scott Brown were lying, giving them 2 Pinocchios, not Warren!!!!!

From your own link:
The Pinocchio Test
Brown said that Warren “checked the box claiming she was Native American” when she applied to Harvard and Penn, suggesting the Democratic candidate somehow gained an unfair advantage because of an iffy ethnic background. But there is no proof that she ever marked a form to tell the schools about her heritage, nor is there any public evidence that the universities knew about her lineage before hiring her.

The senator’s debate comments also suggest Warren actively applied for positions with Harvard and Penn, but the evidence suggests the schools recruited her because of her groundbreaking research and writings on bankruptcy. Harvard, in fact, did not give up on her after she first turned down a tenured position with the university.

Some might assume that Warren listed herself as a minority in the law school directories to attract offers from top schools, which would be a pro-active measure. The explanation that she was reaching out to other Native Americans — when she was merely listed as a “minority” — certainly appears suspicious, but there is no conclusive evidence that she used her status in the listing to land a job.

But Warren appears to have been well-qualified for the teaching positions and excelled once she was hired.

The Fact Checker expects accusers to satisfy the burden of proof for their charges. That was the case when Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said that GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney tried to avoid taxes with offshore accounts. We awarded four Pinocchios to Reid because the senator lacked conclusive evidence — or much evidence at all, for that matter. We’ve also knocked the Obama campaign repeatedly for jumping to unwarranted conclusions about Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital.

The outstanding questions about Warren’s directory listing — and her relying on family lore rather than official documentation to make an ethnic claim — certainly raise serious concerns about Warren’s judgment. But in the debate, the Republican incumbent conflated conjecture and sketchy information to make a claim not supported by the available evidence, and so he earns Two Pinocchios.

Two Pinocchios

Yea, The Washington Post contradicted itself......no surprise.
But, it's very clear that Warren used being a fake Indian to advance her career.
Trump is ridiculing her for being a faker. She deserves it.

No, YOU lied about the WaPo.....no surprise there.
And you have NO proof that she is not part Indian, and it has been proven that she did NOT use her heritage to advance her career, so you can't seem to ever stop yourself from lying.

You are fighting against reality and losing.

And just to be honest I don't care. I DO care that a sitting US Senator told such a blatant lie and so many people are defending it. And I guarantee you I care just as much when Trump tells a blatant lie and some fools defend that as well.
