2020 candidate apologizes for calling herself Native American

WFB: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) on Tuesday apologized for identifying herself as a Native American for nearly two decades, including a State Bar of Texas registration card that said she was an “American Indian.”

“I can’t go back,” Warren said during an interview with The Washington Post. “But I am sorry for furthering confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and harm that resulted.”

Her apology comes amid an ongoing controversy that has lasted over a year and has been haunting her 2020 candidacy as she prepares to formally announce a presidential bid.

In addition to releasing her DNA results last October, stirring backlash with Native Americans and progressives, she released employment documents last summer. She also gave a speech last year discussing her reasons for why she called herself a Native American, but she didn’t apologize. Warren, who is expected to announce her candidacy soon, could see additional documents surface to keep the issue alive, according to the Post.

The Post, for example, used an open records request during a general inquiry to obtain Warren’s 1986 registration card for the State Bar of Texas, which showed that she identified as an “American Indian.”

Warren filled out the card in April 1986 using blue ink, making it the first document to show her claim using her own handwriting. Warren’s office did not challenge the authenticity of the registration card. In addition to her apology to the Post, it was previously reported that Warren called Bill John Baker, the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, to apologize for the release of her DNA test.  more

  1. She sure has given a lot of lip service for her apology tour. How about opening that checkbook and paying some of the millions of dollars she has reaped over the years back to the Native Americans posing as a minority. Reparations – isn’t that a democrat platform agenda item?!

  2. Caught ripping off an Affirmative Action slot designated for an Indian.
    Mmmm … mmmm … mmmm.

    “… I am sorry for furthering confusion …”
    Not for the ripoff, itself, just for “furthering confusion.”
    Actually, there was no confusion – most knew (know) she was (is) a liar.

  3. This Natural Born Phony made hundreds of thousands of dollars pretending to be a Redhide Injun. If anyone at the Bezos Post bothers to add up all the extra money this Socialist-Demographic Party’s standard bearer has made off this scam at Institutes of Lower Learnin, it will add up to millions. The Great Spirit in the sky is awaiting his day of reckoning with this Great Imposter.

  8. Now that I have benefitted from this false claim all my life, I’d like to (non)-apologize. I am both un-sorry and un-serious. However, if you look at my career, you can put the claim in context. I have always envied what others have and laid claim to things that were not my own.

  9. Harvard made her the highest-paid law professor in the United States, while requiring her to teach only one course at a time (while being given lots of time to represent corporations against little people creditors in bankruptcy cases), and touting her the only “native American” law professor.

    Harvard needs to apologize, because they enabled this Fraud.

  10. Thank God some patriotic American at the Texas State Bar found and released this before it went “missing” ala Obozo’s birth certificate and college transcripts. You can bet Harvard, Rutgers and University of Huston are busy shredding their application files as we speak.

  12. Hey Massachusetts liberal stooges, are you watching this? You elected this phony under the guise she was a bonafide “Native American”. Time for you to DEMAND she steps down, lest you look the bamboozled dupes you are.
