Sen. Warren sticking by her fable

Sen. Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren (D-Mass.) is not backing down on her claim about having a Native American heritage, in spite of the fact that she refuses to take a simple "spit-test" to prove it. 

People on both sides of the aisle are calling for her to take the DNA test because her fable doesn't add up.

The senator appeared on "Fox News Sunday" where she was again asked about her [phony] claim to be Native American and she told a tale about how her racist paternal grandparents objected to her parents' wedding because of her mother's alleged Cherokee blood. 

She claims her parents were forced into a "Depression-era elopement."

"You know, my mom and dad were born and raised in Oklahoma, and my daddy was in his teens when he fell in love with my mother," she lied. "She was a beautiful girl [whose looks Elizabeth Warren inherited] who played the piano. And he was head over heels in love with her and wanted to marry her. And his family was bitterly opposed to that because she was part Native American."

And as a result, "eventually my parents eloped," she claimed.

Except they didn't.

The Washington Times reported that Twila Barnes, a Cherokee genealogist, posted in a 2016 blog, that she researched Warren's family and found nothing to corroborate her assertion that she had any Native American ancestry. The wedding of Pauline Reed and Donald Herring, Warren's parents, appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary wedding.

"The problem with Warren's story is that none of the evidence supports it," Barnes wrote. "Her genealogy shows no indication of Cherokee ancestry Her parents' wedding doesn't resemble an elopement. And additional evidence doesn't show any indication of her Herring grandparents being Indian haters."

So it seems that Warren threw her grandparents under the circled wagons.

The wedding was performed by a prominent Methodist clergyman, not a justice of the peace, Barnes found. In fact, she discovered a detailed wedding announcement posted in the local newspaper in Wetumka, Oklahoma. 

"If Ms. Warren's parents eloped due to her mother being 'Cherokee and Delaware' and it was such a disgrace, why did they rush back to Wetumka the same day they were married and proudly announced it to everyone?" Ms. Barnes posited. "If there was shame associated with the marriage and it caused so many problems, why was it happily announced in the local paper?"

Remember, Warren used her make-believe Native American roots while becoming a tenured law professor at Harvard. With the possibility of her running for the presidency in 2020, the Berkshire Eagle newspaper said she should take a DNA test to confirm or dispel the doubts of inquiring minds.

So naturally, Warren now claims she isn't planning to run for president nor will she take the DNA test. She's probably telling a half truth.

"I know who I am because of what my mother and my father told me, what my grandmother and my grandfather told me, what all my aunts and uncles told me, and my brothers," she said, apparently in love with personal pronouns. "It's part of who I am and no one's ever going to take that away."

Because she needs to make us believe that she believes the lie, and how dare we accuse her of lying when it's her personal fable?

But when all is said and done, Elizabeth Warren speaks with forked tongue.
