Elizabeth Warren admits she told Harvard she was Native American and wins the endorsement of Massachusetts governor

  Elizabeth Warren has finally come clean on the reason why Harvard University was touting her as a minority hire when she admitted on Wednesday night that she did in fact tell Harvard about her supposed Native American ancestry. This of course is in direct contrast with her previous statement that she had no idea where Harvard got that information in the first place. That assertion was ludicrous on its face considering the fact she called herself a Native American in the law school directories and she finally realized she could continue the lie no longer, although she still is claiming to be a Native American without offering any proof of the claim.

  Elizabeth Warren changed her story–I guess Barack Obama would call this evolving–several times before finally admitting the truth and I don’t see how any voters could trust her enough moving forward to vote for her; she lied about not knowing how Harvard concluded she was a Native American, and she continues to lie about being a Native American, and in my opinion this makes her untrustworthy. But apparently there are some who still think this isn’t a real issue and Massachusetts Governor Deval–9/11 a failure of understanding–Patrick is one of those people because yesterday he broke his own precedent of not endorsing a candidate before the state Democratic Convention and endorsed Elizabeth Warren over her one remaining opponent, despite earlier saying he would wait until after the convention.

     When Elizabeth Warren announced her candidacy the Massachusetts Democrats basically cleared the field for Barack Obama’s chosen candidate, but one candidate–Marisa DeFranco–refused to drop out of the race. If DeFranco can garner 15% of the vote at the convention on Saturday she will earn a spot on the ballot and our Cherokee friend will face a primary opponent. Currently DeFranco is well over the 15% needed and will be on the ballot so this was clearly and effort to wean support away from DeFranco in an attempt to keep her off the ballot as this scandal continues to grow.

  The fact that Deval Patrick felt compelled to endorse Warren before the convention is a sign of the dire straights she is currently in: Elizabeth Warren has raised over $15 million while DeFranco has a mere $40,000 with which to campaign so she should have posed no threat whatsoever to Elizabeth Warren. Clearly she and the Democrat party are very worried and are attempting to shut DeFranco out of the process, and when this is coupled with the fact that Elizabeth Warren turned down DeFranco’s challenge to hold four debates we can understand just how desperate she has become.
