Girl needs to be told that Imahoe is not a tribe.

Every single human on earth have African DNA. So we are all African.

How does this even matter anymore when men are walking around pretending to be woman every day and told that’s okay and more then that, that they are right..?

Elizabeth Warren’s cousin.

jtLOL Crazy liberals

Oh look another non-native liar 👀 When will Winnipeg's far left councillor SherriLRollins face consequences for her lies about being Huron-Wendat? How long will she be permitted to stay on the mayor's Indigenous Advisory Circle? A total disgrace!

And?

Another Elizabeth Warren?

jtLOL She was inspired. Good for her.

jtLOL I wonder if she’s still being paid by UWMadison.

jtLOL SenWarren must have been the supplier

$5 Indian

You spelled Elizabeth Warren wrong.

I thought people could identify as whatever they want

It didn’t harm Elizabeth Warren

You don't say...

Halloween in 5 years will be people dressing in their normal clothing in an attempt to not offend anyone.

Any DNA test results?

Imagine being so fragile “cultural appropriation” makes you cry.

Been there done that

She can move over to OnlyFans with her costume and earn some serious $$$$

.SenWarren - any comment ?

If she identifies as such, who are we to argue, right?

Liars.. all of them

Why would anyone want to imitate an oppressed group?

If it’s how she identifies, who are we to say she’s wrong?

I don't get it. If a man can become a woman and vice versa. Why can't people decide what ethnic, cultural, or racial group they belong to?

Elizabeth Warren would be proud. 😑

Probably one of the people most offended by Indian Chief Halloween costumes.

This sounds familiar 🤣

Weird, why does this keep happening? Hmm

My father married a pure Cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of me The indians said that I was white by law The White Man always called me 'Indian Squaw' -Cher

What is an “art leader”?

She Senate material

oy..here we go again......

Redface

SenWarren probably loves her work

Dyed her hair, fake-colored contacts, skin darkening makeup. How is this not resulting in a fraud charge?

Mrs. Santos?

SenWarren what do you think of this?

Maybe it's her pronoun. 😁

How come it is always the liberals😂

Madison is a fucking joke of a city

I always request “Indigenous Women” from the escort agency and now realize I’ve been scammed!

Senator Warren Redux

So what. She identifies as Native American. By liberal standards, she should be able to demand her share of native land

sounds familiar

😂😂😂
