Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 Lunge Gets Abruptly Interrupted by a Question of Her American Indian ‘Honesty’
Posted at 9:12 pm on July 19, 2019 by Alex Parker
[Screenshot from GOP War Room,
In March, I covered Elizabeth Warren blaming her family for making her think she was an American Indian.
What if they’d told her she was Chinese?
Did they not have mirrors in Oklahoma? Or Massachusetts? Or anywhere else she’s lived?
As reported by Fox, on Thursday at a town hall event in New Hampshire, the idea resurfaced. A woman inquired of the 2020 hopeful about “honesty” regarding her heritage:
“How do you overcome the bridge with voters like me who like you, who like your plans, who like what you have to say but I have concerns about your honesty?”
Elizabeth Radecic, who asked the question, explained that — as a mother to two black children — she’d grown to further appreciate Affirmative Action. Squaw Warren had, in Radecic’s view, disrespected such programs by claiming she was an Indian in order to snag a Harvard job.
Elizabeth W. tried to woke up in front of the crowd.
She also gave a nod to the DNC’s return to the days of segregation — there are only two races: white and non-white, now called “people of color.”
“ shouldn’t have done it. I am not a person of color. I am not a citizen of a tribe and I’ve apologized for any confusion over tribal sovereignty, tribal citizenship, and any harm caused by that.”
Oddly, the senator released DNA testing results not so long ago, which revealed she was as little a 1/1,024 American Indian (more here).
Somehow, that proved she was a descendant of a tribe.

2020 Democratic Candidate Leads White Children in an Apology to Black Adults for Slavery & Police Brutality. Ready to Vote?

[Screenshot from Marianne Williamson via YouTube,
2020 Democratic hopeful Marianne Williamson is SuperWoke: At an event last year, she called upon the white people in the crowd to apologize to the black people in the crowd for slavery, lynching, and police brutality.
The Houston Chronicle loved it. Their headline read “Marianne Williamson Asked White People to Apologize. She Got it Right.”
Here’s how they described it:
Marianne Williamson walked to the middle of the stage, paused for a second, then she asked all the black people to stand. She then instructed a white person to hold the hand of a black person standing … Williamson then told the white people to repeat after her. She began with, ‘I apologize…'”
So, just to clarify… The self-help guru wants, let’s say, a 4-year-old girl…to apologize to an 80-year-old for the wrong she’s done.
Some may say the 4-year-old is too young to have substantially wronged someone so much older. But slaves are even older.They’re so old, in fact, that they’re no longer alive.
Some may say the 4-year-old is too innocent to have significantly aggrieved anyone. But she’s no more guilty of causing things she hasn’t done than is anyone else.
Hence, my headline. If all whites are guilty toward all blacks, then white children have hurt elderly black people.
But best-selling author Marianne believes it’s necessary:
Her focus was on racism and politics, claiming that until the United States addresses slavery honestly, gets deep about its enduring impact on African-Americans and makes amends, we will continue a cycle of hate and racism in this country.
…
A black woman stood up and told Williamson, who is Jewish, she was struggling to deal with the hurt and hate in her heart for white people because of racism. Williamson said one of the problems is that many white people are in denial about racism, don’t want to talk about it and want black people to “get over it.”
Here’s the prayer:
On behalf of myself, and on behalf of my country, to you and all African Americans, from the beginning of our nation’s history, in honor of your ancestors and for the sake of your children, please hear this from my heart…
I apologize. Please forgive us.
With this prayer, I acknowledge the depth of evils that have been perpetrated against black people in America.
From slavery, to lynchings, to white supremacist laws, to the denial of voting rights, to all the ways both large and small, that abuses have occurred — all of them evil, all of them wrong.
For all the oppression and all the injustice, I apologize. Please forgive us.
For the denial of human and civil rights, for inequities in criminal justice, for instances of police brutality, for the denial of opportunity, for economic injustice, for all ways that racism has fostered these wrongs…
I apologize. Please forgive us.
Slavery was a horrific evil. Police brutality — which has found victims among all races (here and here) — is a scourge. Lynchings were disgusting.
Does politics address these? When it uses words to give an appearance of change where there is none?

Bernie Sanders' campaign workers demanded $15 minimum wage—so he cut their hours to get them there
A good example of the problem with the policy

Employees of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign unionized and have demanded that, since Sanders advocates for a $15 minimum wage, he should pay his staff accordingly. Fair argument.
The Sanders campaign has responded by doing something that many employers would be forced to do if the minimum wage increased to $15 nationally—he cut their hours so their salary will average out to at least $15 per hour.
Probably not what the staffers had in mind, considering their complaint was about "barely being able to survive financially" on their current pay. From the Des Moines Register:
Sanders said field organizers, who are the lowest-ranking members of a presidential campaign and are typically in their 20s, make $36,000 a year with 100% employer-paid health care, as well as paid vacation and sick leave.For a staffer working 40 hours a week, that comes out to about $17 an hour. But 40-hour workweeks on presidential campaigns are rare. Sanders said the campaign will limit the number of hours staffers work to 42 or 43 each week to ensure they're making the equivalent of $15 an hour.
So, instead of getting more money for the reported 60-plus hours per week they work, Sanders campaign staffers will just have more free time on their hands—but not more money.
Sanders declared the compromise a success.
"I'm very proud to be the first presidential candidate to recognize a union and negotiate a union contract," Sanders told the Register. "And that contract was ratified by the employees of the campaign, and it not only provides pay of at least $15 an hour, it also provides, I think, the best health care benefits that any employer can provide for our field organizers."
