Warren Fights Back Against Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ Slur
Lacking any real ammunition for rebuttal, Senator Warren (and her Leftist fellow-travelers) clings to the extremely dubious claim that Trump's mocking her is somehow a "racist" attack against so-called, "Native Americans."
Is anyone stupid enough to buy this?
Obviously, Trump is mocking HER, not the tribe which she falsely claims as her own. Indeed, the President has been careful NOT to say anything negative about Native Americans or any particular tribe (nation) thereof.
It is analogous to someone mocking a comedian who appears in "blackface," then being called a "racist" for mocking a pretend Black person. It is ridiculous.
The real questions on this bizarre development, however, are:
(1) Why did Warren release this "news" at a time so close to the mid-term elections?
(2) Did Warren really think that nobody would actually read the DNA findings, to see that she has NO BASIS for her claim to have "some sort-of Cherokee" blood?
(3). Why does she cling to this silly fiction, rather than simply saying: "Look, this was a family myth that I naively bought into...no harm intended...I guess it was bogus"?
ANSWERS:
(a). She released it now because she has recently been upstaged by her presumed 2020 primary opponents, K. Harris, and C. Booker, because she is not on the Judiciary Committee, and she felt like she had to get into the news somehow.
(b). Yes.
(c). The answer lies in the concept of "intersectionality." Among the Leaders of the Bat-shit Crazy Left, there is an informal competition to claim membership in the most oppressed group of persons possible. Women are more aggrieved than men; blacks are more oppressed than women; homosexuals are more oppressed than women, and so on. And near the top of the list of oppressed peoples are "Native Americans." By claiming Native American status - even to a slight degree - she can possibly achieve similarly oppressed- ness with her rivals. Lacking that, she is simply an upper-middle class, non-oppressed white woman. How pathetic.
