Elizabeth Waren blames right wing bloggers for Cherokee flap

As you know, Elizabeth Warren has been caught in a series of at best misleading and at worst false responses since The Boston Herald first broke the story in late April that Harvard Law promoted her as Native American in the mid-to-late 1990s.

First she played dumb and said she didn't know why.  But over the course of several weeks digging by bloggers and newspapers punctured Warren's story, and revealed or forced Warren to admit she listed herself as Native American to get on a list of "Minority Law Teachers" in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, that she informed both Penn Law and Harvard Law that she was Native American for federal reporting purposes, and that she was on a list at Harvard during her "visiting year" of "Women of Color in Legal Academia."

Genealogical tracing of Warren's alleged Cherokee ancestry by a group of Cherokees led by Twila Barnes has shown that Warren has no Cherokee heritage.  The documentation and research has been posted for all to see.  Anger at Warren extends beyond Cherokees.

Yet Warren persists in the claim to this day, raising bizarre defenses such as her Aunt Bea told her her ancestors had high cheekbones "like all the Indians" and that her parents supposedly had to elope because her mother was 1/16 Native American.

As you know, a group of four Cherokee women including Barnes traveled to Boston this week to seek a meeting with Warren, who has refused to do so.  The Boston press has been all over it, including The Herald, The Globe, and Fox25 among many others.
