Day 4 and the Gaslight Gang is still hellbent on trying to frame Warren's proof as some sort of "victory"/"vindication" for Donald J. Trump.

Did anyone actually get anything of even moderate interest out of this post?
Me neither.

What benefits did Warren receive?
Oh my, look at the cute little right-wingers scurry around in a frenzy of defensiveness.
Good trigger, Rory!
Are you folks still quibbling about precise degree of native ancestry? Christ, if we spent this much time on every loosely-made claim by the Stable Genius, no one would ever sleep.
By the way, Boxlicker did some research and determined it is "not likely" that Warren was a Navaho code talker/breaker during the Viet Nam war of the 1960s. At least that raging controversy has been resolved.
Rory sure has a knack for stirring the pot, so back to work, folks.
Alt appreciation posts, Rory?Wow, 16 pages about a politician exaggerating her lineage, and most of it driven by Deplorables.
Nervous about challengers? Well, there are others waiting in the wings.
Again, for those claiming she received benefits, what benefits did she receive?
So far all I'm seeing is a bunch of mental midgets parroting the claim like a broken copy machine.
What benefits did Warren receive?
She received preferential treatment during the hiring phase for her position at Harvard based on factors she more than likely knew were false and for which she had no empirical or factual evidence.

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-...behind-elizabeth-warren-and-her-native-ameri/Elizabeth Warren’s avowed Native American heritage — which the candidate rarely if ever discusses on the campaign trail — was once touted by embattled Harvard Law School officials who cited her claim as proof of their faculty’s diversity," the article began. What the article revealed dated back more than a decade to diversity records kept by Harvard.
1. Trump needs to pay lest he look like a bitch. Full stop.
2. Warren made a grave error, this miniscule percentage being released given being called a Woman of Color by Harvard will torpedo her 2020 desires. The Cherokee Nation release is a nail in the coffin.
She is having a Twitter meltdown now... Probably knows she fucked up

Did it play a role in her career?
Harvard Law School in the 1990s touted Warren, then a professor in Cambridge, as being "Native American." They singled her out, Warren later acknowledged, because she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory. Critics note that she had not done that in her student applications and during her time as a teacher at the University of Texas.

How this all got started: When Warren was first running for Senate in 2012, the conservative newspaper the Boston Herald reported that her employer, Harvard University, touted her Native American heritage in the ’90s to show off the diversity of its faculty. At one point, the school newspaper referred to Warren as “the first woman with a minority background to be tenured.”

The legitimacy of Warren’s claims to Native American heritage has certainly been challenged by many critics, and it is true that while Warren was at U. Penn. Law School she put herself on the “Minority Law Teacher” list as Native American) in the faculty directory of the Association of American Law Schools, and that Harvard Law School at one time promoted Warren as a Native American faculty member.

I am declaring victory.
As I said on the 15th, when folks were still gloating and calling this a triumph, Warren mad a grave error in releasing that DNA. The mainstream media has turned on her. Links to NYT, CNN, HuffPo, Politico:

Those who argued with me over whether it was a mistake... I am declaring victory.
Alt appreciation posts, Rory?
You're Rob's perfect "Mini-Me."
You can never say that what goes on at the Lit doesn't matter to you.
You can never say thatb you hardly post anymore.
You say that you don't trust the mainstream media therefore you cannot use them to back up your "victory".
You may choose to agree with it or not but the evidence DOES suggest it beyond mere speculation or conspiracy theory.
That's the whole point: I don't agree with it. For starters, there's the small matter that literally no one who was around when she was hired (including Charles Fried, longtime Harvard Law faculty member and Reagan's Solicitor General) agrees with it either.
Warren got her law degree from Houston, which is hardly a path to academic glory, and worked her way up to teaching at several of the top schools in America. That doesn't happen just because someone identified as a Native American.
If any of you guys have ever devoted .00001% of this level of outrage to the genuine undeserved preferences that go on all the time, such as Jared Kushner's crook dad buying his idiot kid a place in the Ivy League, you've kept it very quiet.
