Author of letter from 200 Native Americans urging Warren to retract ancestry claims backs Sanders

judging by her tweets.

Article at The Hill about the letter:

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/484731-over-200-native-americans-sign-letter-urging-warren-to-retract-ancestry

The tweet of Rebecca Nagle's that's quoted in that article:






I skimmed down to older tweets, which included a number of retweets of Sanders surrogate AOC, including this tweet:




There was also a retweet and comment on a tweet from Sanders surrogate Rashida Tlaib.

And a retweet of Sanders surrogate Victoria Dooley:





No sign of any support for any other candidate.

He still tries to bleat about it occasionally, but I don't think it's doing much to change anyone's opinions. I think most people picked a side the first time around.

voted for Trump. County results were 60% for Trump. It's a misconception that the Native Americans vote in a block. In Oklahoma at least they vote like the people in their community. Although Tahlequah is the Capital of the Cherokee Nation, it is 54% white.
It's just a small city like so many in Oklahoma. Most of the time you can't even tell who is of Native heritage.

because she supports the only remaining candidate who consistently includes Native Americans in his talking points?

Shall I keep in mind that my own opinion on Native issues does not matter, because I am a Sanders supporter? Guess I shouldn't vote in my tribal elections either.

about as well as she was able to. It was not that egregious .. although perhaps certainly unaware .. an offense to begin with. And what we learn here is that some individuals will never be satisfied, no matter what amends are taken. Quelle-surprise.

For those that wish to continue to wring their hands over this "issue" .... Proceed.
