    But you’ve got no proof Warren got any financial gain.

    I don't know. Why would she put it off for years?

    Yes, https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...egnancy-discrimination-washington-free-beacon is a good article that views the statement from both sides of the spectrum. This alone does not refute or reenforce the idea that she may have believed she was part Native American.

    No idea, she could have been playing this long game to draw issues with her credibility or it could have been she simply believed her family.

    Lol... Even her own bio says she decided to stay at home after she got a bun in the oven.

    So Harvard is lying now also. Ok, can’t argue with that evidence.

    She got almost $300,000.00 for being a "minority" professor at Harvard.

    I guess we can believe what we want to, but Affirmative Action was really ramping up in the 90's.

    My mother is half Filipino. That makes me 1/4 Filipino.

    You're damn straight I mark down Pacific Islander anytime anybody ever asks, even though I look nothing like that.

    Because it pays to be a white man in this country, except when it doesn't.

    Trump made millions pretending to not be German.
    I’ve got as much proof as you.

    Vox...

    Vox has a Left media bias. In Sept. 2018, the AllSides team conducted an extensive editorial review and decided to shift Vox from a Lean Left to a Left media bias rating.

    The AllSides team found that Vox consistently writes favorably about Left-leaning policies and never includes a Right-leaning perspective. Articles on Vox.com have tied President Trump to fascism, and its "Explainers" section almost never includes Right-leaning opinions or viewpoints. Vox's Explainers provide only one side of an issue, making it seem as if the information provided is all readers need to know, when in reality, Right-leaning individuals would likely include other facts or make different points about the topic. This prevents readers from getting a holistic understanding of the highlighted issues.

    Posting opinion pieces as factual statements is against the rules here. Please dont do it again, or I will report it.

    Because she thought 1/1024th was good. That's called being dumb, or thinking the people who support her are dumb, or both.

    I bet you know exactly how many "lies" Trump has told, but you can't figure this one out to save your life.

    It's really, really funny.

    How can you be Native American if you don’t practice the traditions and don’t have the DNA or show any relatives? If she came out and showed photos or old homes movies of her doing Native American things then maybe her excuse would have merit. But we all know she’s lying out of her ass. Why are you defending her?

    I was told my great great great great grandmother was Cherokee.

    I never listed myself as native american because I own a mirror.

    • Overall, we rate Vox Left Biased due to wording and story selection that routinely favors the left. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to two failed fact checks, with only one offering a correction.

    What rule, specifically, do you believe posting Vox is against?

    Actually, I don’t care (as it isn’t) — but feel free to report away if it bothers you so... luckily for you lying isn’t against the rules or you would have been gone a while ago.

    Right, which is why it doesn't make sense to identify with the smallest portion of your dna.

    I guess, but it is all petty stuff. Who really cares about it.
