    Is the apology the right thing? Is this overdue? Is she a 'woman of color'?

    WAIT!!! :police:

    I thought the DNA test proved she was part Indian. That it was her redemption and proved it? If there was no fault what is the harm? She said she did not use her 1/1024 Indian blood to get any advantage so what exactly is it for which she is apologizing?

    Was she lying when she said all that?

    Yehh - the 'apology' route was the only way to go, however, I wouldn't exactly say that "ooops - we all make mistakes" counts for much in the sincerity realm, lol...

    I am sorry i have lived the life of lies, fraud and theft
    I am sorry I've cheated affirmative actions
    I am sorry i have made a career by stealing opportunities from real minorities

    I am keeping the loot though.
    oh and i wanna be President.
    oh and I will make the country pay reparations for my sins.

    the dna did prove that, she is part Indian, but Indians do not use dna as proof... an apology costs nothing

    do republicans support Trump lyign to jews for Profit?

    this is probably not a debate Trump wants to have during the election


    "Trump's family denied German heritage for years"

    https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/28/politics/trump-family-heritage/index.html

    "John Walter, a Trump family historian and one of Donald Trump's cousins, said this was an effort to not offend his Jewish customers."

    ""He said, 'You don't sell apartments after the war if you're German,' " Walter said in the Boston Globe article. "So he's Swedish, no problem.""

    Look a squirrel. Jeez, poor libs, so pathetic, so deflated, this is all they have left LOL

    That Pocahontas' entire life and career was one non-stop fraud? That all her "successes" have been stolen from real minorities, from people who deserved it more and who did not need to cheat? How is she any better than people who are being sued for college admission fraud?

    You can bet your universal healthcare we'll make if front and center of the campaign if she is nominated...unless you nominate horizontal Harris of course. ;)

    poor Republicans, Trump scammed the Jews and they embrace it, Trump called people chanting "blood and soil, Jews will not replace us"... "very fine people" and they still support him - sad

    Actually it proved if she did have any American Indian blood it was less than the average American but it didn't even prove that. So of she was correct WMD was not lying for what is she apologizing? What harm is she admitting?

    If she was Injun she would have been participating in her tribe's elections and going to tribal meetings and participating in tribal culture all these years.

    FAKE.

    FAKE harm.

    FAKE squaw.

    she proved she had an Indian ancestor 5-10 generations ago, so the family history is correct

    No she didn't prove anything. And what she did claim was less than the average American citizen.

    No she didn't, her results were vague and did not even compare to American Indians. She has less probablity than the average White European. You may not like that but she did not prove it and now she has had to apologize for it. If she proved it why is she apologizing?

    it did, but fell free to make up your own facts

    regardless her family told her this fact, so who cares, of course she believed it, and turns out it was true - hardly something to attack her over - that is just petty

    There was no finding of a direct line to American Indians, sorry to burst your bubble. It was a guess.

    "To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American. That’s because scientists believe that the groups Americans refer to as Native American came to this land via the Bering Straight about 12,000 years ago and settled in what’s now America but also migrated further south. His report explained that the use of reference populations whose genetic material has been fully sequenced was designed “for maximal accuracy.”"

    So why did she apologize?

    because she knows the American Indians do not use DNA results... it was the polite thing to do, an apology for upsetting them costs nothing - I get that your confused as Trump doesn't apologize for anything he does to upset people - did Trump apologize for lying to all the Jews so they would rent from him?

    She benefitted from her lie monetarily and professionally. Harvard Law touted her as their "first woman of color." Let's get real. You may be more native American than she is. Her cockiness was her downfall.

    So an empty apology for what, your attempt to divert notwithstanding?

    an apology for upsetting them, I get it, Trump supporters would not understand

    and I get that Trump supporters defend Trump lying to Jews in order to get them to rent from him

    It’s not an issue except to people who already hate her. I think it’s pretty clear that she really thought she had more Native American blood. I’ve never met a person from Oklahoma who didn’t claim to be part injun.

    If that’s the best Trump and his braintrust can come up with, (The Old Pocahontas crap) she’ll crush him in any debate. She can run on a real populist message unlike Trumps phony MAGA populist message that he ran on. He now has clear track record now of being just another usual GOP whore to corporate and banking interests.

    If she does get the nomination and puts together a strong team to run her campaign, she will be tough to beat. Trump is at a disadvantage without his old buddy Roger Ailes who was his de facto campaign manager last time. Also, his buddy David Pecker of The National Enquirer has his tit in a ringer and will not be able to help Trump as much with the imbeciles who read his trash rag. Don’t get me wrong, the Democrats have a long history of snatching defeat out of the mouth of victory and could easily shoot themselves in the foot again, but I think they are favorites next year.

    If it's not an issue then why did she go begging forgiveness with the American Indians?

    So if she was correct and was not lying for what is she apologizing? What harm is she admitting?

    Try to focus.
