SimonMoyaSmith THINK This whole episode makes me sad. My ancestors were homesteaders. We were taught to be proud of their hard work making it on the land in varied & rough conditions of MT. We were taught there was peace & cohabitation between natives & settlers. It was all lies of colonization.

StandingRockST THINK SenWarren has been a great advocate for positive change and social justice overall. That said, she might have a bit to learn about opportunism and appropriation. It's one thing to acknowledge a part of your ancestry, it's another to make a spectacle of it.

StandingRockST THINK Bullshit

THINK She's a boob.

SimonMoyaSmith THINK SimonMoyaSmith blaming Elizabeth Warren *again* for the actions of Trump’s racist fan base. Bold-faced misogyny. How about you hold the racist white men that populate Trump rallies accountable for their own actions and stop blaming the woman?

THINK Wait, What? It’s her fault the President insults people like a petulant 8 year old ?

THINK I got a racist response to a non racial tweet three minutes after I retweeted this article.

THINK Let it go --- all any of you do is make it worse ! if a Tribe wants her in they will accept her and offer that to her --- and it is no body's business but theirs ! = drop it and let her work -- unless you are afraid of them !

THINK I don't think you can blame her for Republican being childishly cruel pricks.

THINK Hahahahaha 😆 😂 🤣

THINK STOP!!!!!

THINK You have nothing else to cover?

THINK Ffs let it go! Move on

THINK Maybe u should direct your anger at the people hurling insults.

THINK You're blaming Warren for ***trump's*** attacks.

THINK Most comments are missing the point of this article; NBC is team Kamala Harris now so they will be undermining the Warren campaign. That is the reason all these 32+ year old documents are coming to light now. Warren never meant Native People any harm at all and everyone knows it.

THINK Total BULLSHIT! Growing up I was told repeatedly Native American as well Blackfoot Indian. She told us very long and involved tales. I took classes in Native American, 3 years ago took DNA test 0%. Over 65% Irish. Why did these stories happen, that's what should be asked!

THINK She needs to resign! She needs to take ethical training and leave

THINK She appeals to low IQ voters and those who don't want to work, but the dems would be better off going with Biden.

THINK TermLimits

THINK The divine entity didn't endow everyone with common sense or foresight. IF we all were perfect, there wouldn't be any politicians.

THINK This is a stupid thing.... move on .

THINK Omg stop already. Take just a moment out of your upsetness and think about what she actually did versus what media is trying to push. She didn't kill anybody. Take a chill pill.

THINK For God's sake, the U.S.A. Government slaughtered Native Americans, starved them, herded them like cattle, forced them to convert to Christianity. There is the injustice. Mrs. Warren is not the heinous criminal here.

THINK a lot of us who have family that has been part of this country for over 400 years there has always been a family story of someone who was a native American that we were descended from. many not disproven. the tribes only recognize tribal history that is based on lineage not DNA.

THINK But her heritage

THINK This is like saying that Obama is the reason there's a resurgence in racism towards African Americans. Seriously, do you really think that people mocking Native Americans really needed Elizabeth Warren to justify it? If so, GFY.

THINK Elizabeth, you have lost all credibility in political life. YOU LIED, SIGNED A LIE, SWORE A LIE, PLEASE QUIT NOW and go have a beer.

THINK Trump is awesome in this video

THINK Using others heritage for gain is morally wrong. This isn’t an anti Trump issue it’s an anti warren one.

THINK

THINK Trump's my friend, and I'm the Indian that rules the world

THINK Warren won't be President because BANKSTERS won't allow it ! Wells Fargo would never be allowed to STEAL millions from Americans like they did WARREN would anger credit card corps who want 30% Pay day loan corps would fear her ruining their scams

THINK Love Elizabeth Warren but she’s not ready for prime time. Letting trump goad her is a rookie move.

THINK More fake news from nbc

THINK There is zero excuse for taunting Native Americans. Elizabeth Warren is NOT the cause.

THINK She knew exactly what she was doing and only used it to advance her career. But now she's going to use the Hillary clause and claim she didn't know

THINK She should be able to pretend she’s any group she wants for personal gain!

THINK “Native.” “Indigenous.” These are racist terms.

THINK Words are so, so cheap, especially whe they are delivered by the same people day after day after day NBC News 😡

THINK This is not who we need in the White House. Sen. Warren needs to drop out of the presidential race, and then resign from the Senate.

THINK WHO is the A HOLE who wrote this ? How did Warren FORCE the DONALD to CALL NATIVE AMERICANS NAMES ? That is BULLSHIT

THINK Trumpians need no reason to Insult Natives....Most hispanics are Natives,,,,Republicans Hate them.......USA Massacred Natives

THINK Oh BS - He started it ! She believed her family the way many people do - people make mistakes - she didn't call anyone names or insults - it was ALL HIM !

THINK Hmm

THINK *Trump attacks Native Americans, and Warren, Warren's fault.*

THINK ewarren
