She apologized to the people she offended. A group that does not include you. It's up to the people of the Cherokee nation to decide whether or not that was enough. I also agree that her obvious lack of understanding about the issue is disturbing. But did she offend you? She didn't offend me. For myself, I'm filing this away and willing to listen to what Native American people say about her but there is a whole lot more to Elizabeth Warren's record than this.In her case, it's true.
She's been using the whole native American thing for decades.
Why? Especially when it comes to light that at best she had a distant native American relative around 250 years ago.
10 years ago, I would have voted for her. The childish, obsessive manner she's handled this entire debacle with has turned that into a no vote.
What I'm asking you is, do you want Republican propaganda to decide who the next Democratic Presidential candidate should be or do you want to choose? If this is the most important issue to you then I don't understand but I can accept that. To me, I will decide according to her record of accomplishment -- which is substantial -- and her ability to work well with others. If she continues to make gaffes like this, then I agree, we don't need another mistake making clown in the WH and will pick somebody else. I simply don't see this as the key issue that decides me against Warren. Do you?
I'm actually more disposed toward Warren now because the Republican and far Democratic Left are resorting to this kind of stuff rather than run against her record. We shouldn't let political character assassination win the day -- as we have been doing for too long.
