You’d think that after pretending to have Native American heritage, then having to apologize to tribal communities for it, Elizabeth Warren would stay away from talking about anything having to do with the subject.
But here she is on Columbus Day, which has been renamed Indigenous People’s Day by many woke cities, tweeting about respecting Native American culture.
“The story of America’s mistreatment of indigenous peoples is long and painful. And yet, Native communities have proven resilient. We owe them our respect—and we must honor our government’s commitments and promises to them,” she began.

“We must fulfill our trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations. We must protect Tribal sovereignty and self-determination. And we have to go even further to empower indigenous peoples to build stronger communities and a brighter future,” she continued.

People were not kind to her in their responses.
you do realize you directly contributed to that long and painful mistreatment by wearing red face for literally decades, right?

You could start showing Native Americans respect by not pretending to be one of them. https://t.co/1zHvWIZbQl

"We owe them our respect" coming from Elizabeth Warren is hilarious but you can get away with this crazy shit when the Journos are backing your campaign https://t.co/r032D4CI39

#Warren is fraud who stayed silent on #StandingRock after stealing native identity… a lying evil low-key liberal racist who voted for Hardcore open racist Reagan ( TWICE ). We see you for what & who you are … our ancestor Malcolm X warned us years ago about your type! https://t.co/qWDblOhINN
