I'd say its even more than that.
Elizabeth Warren is a person who came from a modest upbringing and has risen though it all to become a prominent Law Professor and advocate for protection of consumers. She has devoted much of her later adult life to the service of the people. She has championed the protection of consumers from fraudulent and/or misleading financial products, served on a Congressional oversight panel overseeing the US$700B Troubled Assets Relief Program and served as assistant to President Obama and special adviser to the Treasury secretary during the launch of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
A whole bunch of lies, fabrications and untruths have been created by Trump supporters, in an attempt to assassinate Warren's character
Lie #1. Warren claimed to be a member of the Cherokee tribe.
Fact: She has never made such a claim, ever.
Lie #2. Warren used her claimed NA ancestry to get a position at Harvard Law School.
Fact: She already HAD that position at Harvard before she was asked about any possible minority status. Out of the remaining 31 people who were involved in hiring her, 30 have said that her minority status was never discussed, the remaining one said he didn't remember one way or the other.
Lie #3. Warren used her claimed NA ancestry to make personal gain and to advance her career.
Fact: There is zero evidence that this has ever happened. Warren advanced her own career through her own hard work, and through her care for others.
The bringing up of a description in a Families recipe book from over 30 years ago is an act of pure desperation, a dredging of the depths of the mire that passes for the average Trump Sycophant's mind, to find something, anything they can exaggerate, mischaracterize and misrepresent to attack her.
The fact that Trump Sycophants continually return to that Families recipe book is also an act of desperation, one that they carry out so that they can continue in their attempts to manufacture outrage.. it shows exactly what they have got... a big, fat nothingburger.
Its worth noting that before the mid-1990s, i.e. the time at which she "ticked the boxes", Warren was a registered Republican.
