House GOP conference chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Sunday suggested that
2020 presidential contender Elizabeth Warren should be disbarred for
falsely claiming American Indian heritage on a recently unearthed form she
submitted to the Texas State Bar in 1986.
Warren, the Massachusetts Democratic senator who formally launched her bid
for the White House on Saturday, has apologized privately for identifying
as a Native American "for almost two decades." Nevertheless, Warren's
attempts to defuse the ensuing bipartisan criticism -- including her
decision to take a DNA test last year -- have largely backfired, and
highlighted what President Trump has called Warren's fatal political
vulnerability.
On Saturday, Trump again derided Warren for falsely claiming Native
American ancestry in what he says was a cynical effort to boost her career
as a law professor by taking advantage of affirmative action. Calling
Warren "Pocahontas," Trump told Warren, "See you on the campaign TRAIL."

@realDonaldTrump
Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined
the race for President. Will she run as our first Native American
presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is
not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!

Asked by anchor Jake Tapper to respond to Trump's rhetoric, Cheney said
Warren deserved the ridicule.
"Look, Elizabeth Warren has made herself a laughingstock. I don't think
anybody should be surprised that that's been the reaction to her," Cheney
said on CNN's "State of the Union."

The April 1986 bar card, initially reported by The Washington Post, is the
first known instance of Warren claiming Native American ancestry in an
official document or in her own handwriting. Warren was a professor at the
University of Texas School of Law when she filled it out.
"One wonders whether or not that's grounds for disbarment, if you
misrepresent yourself on your application to the bar. I'd say it probably
is grounds for disbarment," Cheney said.

Under the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct, applicants are obligated to
correct any material false statements they make to the State Bar during
their application process -- and even if they are admitted to the bar,
past misstatements that surface can still be grounds for disbarment or
suspension from the practice of law. (State bars, which regulate attorney
conduct and enforce discipline, are distinct from more informal -- and
more numerous -- bar associations.)
Still, it remained highly unlikely that an ethics investigation would be
initiated against Warren, due to the length of time that has transpired
since her allegation and the difficulty in proving that she knew her
statement was false.
The Texas State Bar document, which functions as a kind of directory entry
for lawyers, is among multiple instances in which Warren described herself
as a Native American. For example, Warren had indicated that she was
Cherokee in an Oklahoma cookbook called " Pow Wow Chow" in 1984, and
listed herself as a minority in the Association of American Law Schools
Directory of Faculty from 1986 to 1995 -- a move she said later was an
effort to "connect" with other people like me."
Warren dropped off the list in 1995, after moving to Harvard Law School.
But in 1996, an article in the student-run Harvard Crimson apparently
indicated that faculty members and administrators still believed Warren
was Native American.
A 2005 document obtained by The Hill, meanwhile, indicated that the
University of Pennsylvania Law School considered Warren among its past
minority faculty members. Warren, who had resigned by the time the
university published that document, taught at the law school in the 1980s
and 1990s before taking a professorship at Harvard.
"The notion that anybody of any political party would pretend that they
were a member of a tribe or pretend they were Native American and would do
it as she seems to have done it in order to get benefits, that is, in my
view, the disgrace," Cheney added.

POLICE ARE KILLING HUMOR
Past reporting by several outlets, including CNN, held that Warren "had
not" listed herself as a minority in her "student applications and during
her time as a teacher at the University of Texas." Records unearthed by
The Boston Globe found that in 1981, 1985, and 1988, personnel forms at
the University of Texas showed that Warren had called herself "white."
Through it all, Warren has maintained that she did not use her claims of
ancestry to advance her academic career. An extensive investigation by the
Globe did not support the contention that Harvard had relied on Warren's'
claims of Native American heritage in deciding whether to hire her.

Randall Kennedy, a law professor in charge of recruiting minority
candidates at Harvard at the time, told the Globe that Warren was never
considered a minority for hiring purposes.
She was not on the radar screen at all in terms of a racial minority
hire, Kennedy said. It was just not an issue. I cant remember anybody
ever mentioning her in this context."
TRUMP MOCKS WARREN WITH WOUNDED KNEE REFERENCE AFTER AWKWARD INSTAGRAM
LIVESTREAM
Warren's prospective presidential candidacy has had a rocky start since
she announced that she had formed an exploratory committee for a White
House bid on Dec. 31. That evening, Warren was widely mocked for appearing
in an Instagram live feed and awkwardly telling the audience, "Hold on a
second -- I'm gonna get me a beer."
Warren's' husband later walked into the kitchen, prompting Warren to tell
him, "Thank you for being here." He replied, matter-of-factly: "Enjoy your
beer."
Trump later savaged the episode as "the Elizabeth Warren beer
catastrophe."

On Tuesday, filings revealed that Warren is worth more than $4 million --
complicating her effort to appeal to working-class voters with proposals
like an unprecedented tax on wealth. in January, Warren proposed an
unprecedented tax of 2 percent annually on all assets belonging to
households worth more than $50 million, as well as a 1 percent tax on
households with $1 billion or more.
Critics have charged that the idea is both dangerous and unconstitutional
because it directly taxes wealth that is not transferred, invested, or
earned as income, without ensuring the tax is evenly distributed across
states.
And over the weekend, Harry Reid, the longtime Democrat who represented
Nevada in the Senate for three decades and served as the Senate majority
leader for eight years, declined to endorse Warren's nascent presidential
run.
Although he called Warren a "good person" in an interview with The Boston
Globe, Reid, 79, asserted that "my Nevada politics keep me from publicly
endorsing her." He added that "anything I can do to help Elizabeth Warren
short of the endorsement, I will do.

Reid helped catapult Warren into the national spotlight by appointing her
in November 2008 to the Congressional Oversight Panel, a five-member
committee responsible for overseeing the federal bailout provided by the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
