Elizabeth Warren claimed 'American Indian' race on State Bar of Texas registration card

Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s family benefited from U.S. program for minorities based on disputed ancestry

A company owned by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s in-laws won more than $7 million in no-bid and other federal contracts at U.S. military installations and other government properties in California based on a dubious claim of Native American identity by McCarthy’s brother-in-law, a Times investigation has found.

The prime contracts, awarded through a federal program designed to help disadvantaged minorities, were mostly for construction projects at the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in McCarthy’s Bakersfield-based district, and the Naval Air Station Lemoore in nearby Kings County.

Vortex Construction, whose principal owner is William Wages, the brother of McCarthy’s wife, Judy, received a total of $7.6 million in no-bid and other prime federal contracts since 2000, The Times found.

The Bakersfield company is co-owned by McCarthy’s mother-in-law and employs his father-in-law and sister-in-law, Wages said. McCarthy’s wife was a partner in Vortex in the early 1990s.

Vortex faced no competitive bids for most of the contracts because the Small Business Administration accepted Wages’ claim in 1998 that he is a Cherokee Indian. Under the SBA program, his company became eligible for federal contracts set aside for economically and socially disadvantaged members of minority groups, a boon to its business.

Wages says he is one-eighth Cherokee. An examination of government and tribal records by The Times and a leading Cherokee genealogist casts doubt on that claim, however. He is a member of a group called the Northern Cherokee Nation, which has no federal or state recognition as a legitimate tribe. It is considered a fraud by leaders of tribes that have federal recognition.

Vortex was awarded more than $4 million in minority set-aside contracts for projects at China Lake. McCarthy has been a staunch advocate in Congress for funding and staffing for China Lake, the Navy’s largest property at more than 1.1 million acres, and spearheaded successful efforts to expand its borders.

McCarthy is no ordinary member of Congress, but one of the most powerful elected officials in California and on the national stage. The contracts obtained by Wages’ company have prompted questions about whether he improperly benefited from being McCarthy’s brother-in-law.






Wasn't a problem for the GOP back then so it should be no problem today.
Right?

 

Maybe Shultz is eating popcorn right now.

 

The fear is palpable.

 

So you agree it should be no problem today and before, right?
After all, you moral Christianity Republicans don't believe in double standards, right??

 

Watching you realize that Trump will be your POTUS for 6 more years.

 

The only "fear" that is palpable is the RW Trumpists having a meltdown knowing that Trump is toast in 2020.

Thus, their attacks on Dem contenders.

(Like this ongoing obsession with Warren, as evidenced in the OP).

Very entertaining.

The utterly predictable pro-Trump RW (with their ridiculous memes and their redundant copypasta) never fails to disappoint (when it comes to comic relief).

 

AJ, its going to be a fun 6 years. Hope you are up for it.

 

yah yah like we haven't heard that before
Clinton in a landslide
no chance Trump could ever get to 270

makes me want to go watch those old vids of the networks claiming no chance Trump can win then the clips of election night with all you libs having a mental break down and crying

 

Apparently Rob Lowe is catching hell over his humerus tweet regarding one Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren...



Plus check out how she grabs this kid...

In one short post you have both spectacularly missed, and at the same time proven, my point.

 

Do you have an actual answer? The Post was doing this before trump took office

 

nice portrait of Captain Spanky Bone Spurs

 

Says the extraordinary bias guy on the internet....you really told me.

 

Elizabeth Warren passes on her native wisdom...

 

Elizabeth Warren yanks a child like a rag doll for a photo-op, hints Trump is going to jail

Embattled Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren laughably suggested that President Donald Trump may not win re-election in 2020 because he’ll be in jail by then. Why? Because she doesn’t like his tweets.

Warren made the inane remarks while stumping in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this weekend after announcing her plans to run for president.

In the video you can see her yanking a child like a rag doll.

Perhaps not unlike when she yanked native American heritage for her political benefit.
