Elizabeth Warren boldly proclaimed that she’s part Cherokee Indian because her “papa had high cheekbones like all Indians do.” Yes, she really said this, and as usual the pink slime media ignored what would be considered a “racist” statement if a conservative made them. It turns out according to Legal Insurrection, that Elizabeth Warren’s great-great-great grandfather was a member of a militia unit which participated in the round-up of the Cherokees in the prelude to the Trail of Tears. Ironic isn’t it?
The evidence resulted from a tip provided by a Legal Insurrection reader to a genealogical compilation of militia members who allegedly participated in the removal of the Cherokees from Georgia. The list included the name Jonathan Crawford, who was the husband of O.C. Sarah Smith, the person the Warren campaign has identified as Warren’s great-great-great grandmother and allegedly Cherokee.
