So a rational person has to look themselves in the mirror and decide did EW identify as NA to enhance here chances of employment or did she do it because of bedtime stories she was told. 

??? When I read your post, I assumed you had the smoking gun--something linking the NA heritage to employment.  But your link ain't it.

Your guy's argument is simply that most of Harvard's law faculty come from Harvard and other top 10 law firms.  Rutgers, where Warren identified as "C," is not even a top 50 school.  So she "must have" leveraged the NA identity.  Somehow.  How else could a rising star in tax law research get to the top?

And you charge her with taking away opportunities for true minorities--when she applied as a white woman, apparently. If she did, then there is a record. An application as NA. Other "true minority" applicants who were turned down when she was hired.  Still right there in the Dean's files.  If not, then this is only more must have somehow.

And your writer claims that by apologizing she has "continued the pattern of duplicity"?  Geezus--would a refusal to apologize have broken this "pattern of duplicity"?  You are a bias hunter, right?  No alarms going off here?

So a rational person has to look himself in the mirror and decide to wait for actual evidence she used her NA heritage to get a job, maybe include an interview with a "true minority" who applied at the same time and was turned down, or just go with the rightists who don't want her arguing tax policy and the wealth gap on the national stage.  Gosh. How to decide.

Lying matters to Democrats, so if that evidence surfaces before she gets on the debate stage, she is toast. If it doesn't, the top 1% has reason to worry. All the racist memes in the universe won't stop her from shifting the national debate on taxes and corporate malfeasance leftward by the end of 2019, before she goes down.  

Scarier still--this NEVER gets beyond "must have somehow," "real" NAs start rallying around her, the press tires of asking her about it, and more and more people think this all a tempest in a teapot while listening to her arguments. At that point, the apologetic white woman college professor image will damage her more.

While Trump, along with the head of the RNC, demands honesty and accountability from Warren, her brothers look themselves in the mirror and believe her "lies":  https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2012/09/15/elizabeth-warren-family-native-american-heritage

David Herring of Norman, Okla., one of Warren’s three brothers, said in an interview that even when he was a child his relatives were reluctant to talk about the family’s Native American heritage because “it was not popular in my family.’’ Only when he begged his grandparents, said Herring, did they finally explain to him: “Your grandfather is part Delaware, a little bitty bit, way back, and your grandmother is part Cherokee. It was not the most popular thing to do in Oklahoma. [Indians] were degraded, looked down on.’’

Warren’s brothers, Don, John, and David Herring, also issued a joint statement supporting their sister. “The people attacking Betsy and our family don’t know much about either. We grew up listening to our mother and grandmother and other relatives talk about our family’s Cherokee and Delaware heritage. They’ve passed away now, but they’d be angry if they were around today listening to all this.’’
