Per my post on Phases of a Wannabe, you can see that it is common for fakes to "line jump" and claim through another line of ancestry when the first one they claim through is shown to be non-Indian. This is what Warren and her campaign has done. The Crawford line was shown to be white, so they then wanted to focus on the Reed line and claim they were the ones with the most Indian blood. Apparently they hadn't read our post showing that line had already been done and also had no Indian ancestry. They did have a lot of ministers, carpenters and soldiers though. Bert Joseph Reed was one of those who served in the military.
Bert Joseph Reed, the grand uncle of Ms. Warren and younger brother to her high cheek-boned grandpa, was the child of Joseph H. Reed and Charity Louise Gorman.

Do you notice a trend for Warren's family? Once again, Bert, brother to her pappaw with the high cheek bones, is always listed as white. Still, not a single piece of documentation anywhere on any of the family ever shows them listed as anything other than white. But Elizabeth Warren thinks she had a right to list herself as a minority in a law directory and be counted as a minorty/Native American for diversity purposes.
Those are my thoughts for today.
Thanks for reading.
