So you defend this with whataboutism?  I could have sworn the Left was done with whataboutism.  At least they seemed to have a problem when the Trump supporters used it.

The reason this is worth discussing is that not only are the Dems supposed to be the party of the minority, where this woman lied for decades about her heritage to advance in life, taking actual jobs from minorities, but it also shows the ridiculous double standards Dems have for themselves versus the rest of the world.  I mean, just in the past few months we had the Kavanaugh "guilty before proven innocent" from an accusation of 36 years ago, with absolutely no proof, while at the same time the 2nd in command of the DNC was being accused of assault from just 2 years ago, with the woman claiming to actually have proof.  Of course, they defend their guy, instead of adopting the standard they want for everyone else, just kick them out.  Now, we have the Left calling racism left and right, talking about how bad cultural appropriation is, but are now defending a woman who actually did culturally appropriate.  And not because she thought a Eastern dress looked cool, so she wore it, but to actually get positions as a "person of color."

That FBI investigation was a joke and he wasn't proven innocent but congratulations we now have two pervs on the supreme court.

This isn't the thread for that, so I will stick to one reply. 

You guys are all about moving goalposts.  You couldn't nail Kavanaugh with his judicial record, so out comes the last minute allegation claims, just like with Clarence Thomas.  You demand there must be a hearing to get to the bottom of this.  Of course, if the info was given to the committee by Feinstein in the first place, it could have been investigated in private.  But a private investigation doesn't help rile up your base, so it must be public.  We have the hearing and get nothing.  No corroboration.  No evidence.  And I know you guys hate this, but in this country it is still innocent until proven guilty.  Even for your political enemies. 

But, you demand an FBI investigation.  Of course, since there are no criminal charges, it would only be a background check, just like he has gotten before.  The Dems in charge know this, but they can rile you guys up even more by claiming the investigation is rigged and didn't go deep enough.  Of course, at the same time Ford's story is getting picked apart, so the Dems fall back on other things that the background check picks up, but that all falls apart, just like the other bogus claims.  So, in a last ditch effort, the Dems and their blind followers fall back on his demeanor during the hearing.  Of course, that is a ridiculous standard when one is fighting for their life and that of their families, so he goes in.

It's time to get over it.  And stop accusing him of being something when YOU HAVE NO PROOF.  Especially since I'm sure you are giving Keith Ellison a pass.

Please provide evidence that she got benefits from having native american ancestry. If she is 1/64th native american, it means it goes back 6 generations (technically 5 since we should count the original parents as the first generation), which isn´t so much. If it is 1/1024, it is 10 generations (or technically 9). She has also, as far as I know, never claimed any citizenship to any tribal community and the claims by the Cherokee Nation, please provide their evidence based claims. She also never touted her ancestry until her opponent made a case of it, so why are you so focused on her providing some evidence, not the people using racial slurs and dismissing her purely based on her appearence?

Why is it so upsetting for you that she has some evidence pointing to her possibly having native american ancestry?

Here.  And she has the same evidence of Native American ancestry as the average American does.  In other words, she's not special.  Nor is she a Cherokee, like she liked to claim.  And it is pathetic that she went through life claiming she was a minority.  Was even called Harvard's first woman of color.

She is obviously preparing a 2020 run and want all the cards on the table

I think Trump probably isn't even going to get to use this against her.  Biden will beat her handily.
