No Pity for Warren
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Elizabeth Warren is
hurt and angry over the media coverage of her false claim of Cherokee ancestry. That would be funny
if it weren't so pitiful. All she had to do was investigate, tell the truth,
and the issue would have gone away. She could have used her new book to
acknowledge the truth and apologize for her blatant disrespect of minorities,
but instead, she's continued to perpetuate the lie and attempted to portray
herself as a victim.
“What really threw me, though,
were the constant attacks from the other side,” she writes about the 2012
Senate campaign. “I would almost persuade myself that I was starting to get the
hang of full-throttle campaigning and then — bam! Out of left field, the state
Republican Party, or the Brown campaign, or some blogger, would launch a rocket
at me.”
Doing the research, finding the
facts and sharing the truth about someone is not an attack. If people were
launching rockets, it is because Warren
gave them a big target. Research was done to determine if she had Cherokee
ancestry. She didn't have any. That is not an opinion. It is a sound conclusion
based on a preponderance of evidence found in historical documents. No one had
any control over the lies told except Elizabeth Warren. She had control over it
when she opened her mouth and told the story. She also had control when she
repeatedly defended her story, despite the overwhelming evidence to the
contrary. If Elizabeth Warren was a victim, she was only a victim of her own
arrogance and dishonesty. If she felt hurt and angry over what happened, she
has no one to blame but herself. She could have, should have, just told the
truth. She chose not to do that. I don't feel sorry for her.
Those are my thoughts for today.
Thanks for reading.
