Elizabeth Warren's Indigenous Peoples' Day Message Backfires: 'Maybe Sit This One Out'

By Samantha Chang October 11, 2022 at 7:50am

Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was hilariously trolled on Twitter for promoting Indigenous Peoples’ Day in lieu of Columbus Day.

In a tone-deaf tweet Monday, Warren — who famously claimed she was Native American — urged everyone to “celebrate the contributions, the extraordinary resilience, and the rich cultures of tribal nations and Native communities.”

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the contributions, the extraordinary resilience, and the rich cultures of tribal nations and Native communities. Today and every day, the federal government must recommit itself to honoring its promises to Native peoples.

The failed presidential candidate was barraged with snarky comments, with many Twitter users telling her to “sit this one out” in recognition of her past cultural appropriation.

Maybe sit this one out Liz

“Is this a parody account?” another Twitter user asked.

Is this a parody account?

Numerous commenters needled Warren — who was nicknamed “Pocahontas” by former President Donald Trump — by pointing out that her DNA test revealed she may be 1/1024 (or 0.0976 percent) Native American.

As reference, the average European-American is 0.18 percent Native American, according to scientists at 23andMe, a biotech company that specializes in genetic testing.

This means that most white Americans are far more Native-American than Warren is, even though she previously used her sham minority status to advance her career.

So Elizabeth Warren is *possibly* 1/1024 (0.09%) Native American.

That’d make Warren even less Native American than the average European-American.

One commenter reminded Warren of the time she “plagiarized recipes from the New York Times and Better Homes and Garden and passed them off as [her] family’s secret ‘Cherokee’ recipes for the Pow Wow Chow cookbook? You knew exactly what you were doing!”

Hey remember the time you plagiarized recipes from the New York Times and Better Homes and Garden and passed them off as your family’s secret “Cherokee” recipes for the Pow Wow Chow cookbook? You knew exactly what you were doing!

One way to celebrate would be for those who’ve pretended to be American Indians to advance their careers to admit they’re frauds and give back the higher salaries they’ve earned. @SenWarren https://t.co/0GGaJKe9EC

Thanks in part to Trump’s lampooning of Warren’s faux “minority status,” she has been hilariously mocked for claiming she’s part Cherokee.

As a reminder, Warren once cited her “high cheekbones” as proof of her dubious ethnicity.

“My papaw had high cheekbones like all of the Indians do,” the Democrat said in 2012.

In her 30s, Warren claimed she was Native American to benefit from affirmative-action hiring programs intended for real Native Americans.

In 2012, Warren admitted that she had told Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania she was Native American while applying for teaching jobs.

Thanks to her exploitation of her questionable minority status, Warren — who graduated from Rutgers Law School — was hired as a professor at Harvard Law, where she was lionized for being its “first woman of color.”

Should Warren pay reparations to actual Native Americans?

The fact that she still has a political career after the race-hustling stunt she pulled underscores just how warped and corrupt our establishment media is.

The good thing about Warren being a high-profile figure in the Democratic Party is that her mere presence undermines its moral high ground on so many issues, especially those concerning the party’s hypocritical, warped race politics.
