"Why Did You Lie?" - Elizabeth Warren Heckled By Native American Ancestry Protester At Campaign Stop

Senator Elizabeth Warren was interrupted at a Georgia campaign event by a protester who heckled the presidential candidate with the words, "Why did you lie?"

Footage from CBS46 appears to show the man shouting the phrase before being dragged off with a "Warren 1/2020" sign in tow. The "1/2020th" slogan is a jab at the Massachusetts senator's claims to Native American ancestry.

Warren said, "Be easy, be easy... It's okay, it's okay," in response to the disruption, before the crowd launched into a chant of, "Warren, Warren," as the man was removed from the event.

The "1/2020th" mock campaign logo references a DNA test Warren took to prove her Native American heritage. Back in October, she released results that showed she had between 1/64 and 1/1,024 Native American genes, according to The Boston Globe.

"The facts suggest that you absolutely have a Native American ancestor in your pedigree," Stanford University genetics professor Carlos Bustamente told Warren in a video released at the time. Her test results suggest the senator has a Native American ancestor six to 10 generations back.

The "1/2020th" logo was posted by Ben Shapiro, founder of conservative news site The Daily Wire, on December 31, shortly after Warren announced she was running for president.

President Donald Trump -who regularly mocks Warren with the nickname "Pocahontas"- tweeted out the logo January 3. He previously promised to donate $1 million to a charity of her choice if a DNA test supported her ancestry claims.

Some Native Americans criticized the progressive politician for having taken the test at all. "A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship," Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. said at the time. "Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation." Hoskin Jr. said using a DNA test in such a way was "inappropriate and wrong."

Warren apologized in a tweet which read: "DNA & family history has nothing to do with tribal affiliation or citizenship, which is determined only-only-by Tribal Nations. I respect the distinction, & don't list myself as Native in the Senate." She later apologized for calling herself Native American on an old State Bar of Texas registration card obtained by The Washington Post.

The first major Democratic candidate to throw her hat into the 2020 ring, Warren pledges on her website to end corruption in Washington, rebuild the middle class, strengthen democracy, reform criminal justice and promote foreign policy that serves all Americans.

The Liberal Argument Outline

1. Use spun facts:

These can be found on Huffington Post, Daily Kos, MSNBC, and many other liberal sources. What they do is take facts, polls or arguments and add a liberal spin in a weak attempt to make bad news for liberals look good. These are easily debunked and exposed as lies by going to the original source and posting the hard, cold facts with NO spin.

Note: At this point, you have won. It should never take more than one
post to win an argument with a liberal. It is recommended that you claim victory and disengage at this point. If you continue, for fun or
experimental purposes, no further logic will be forthcoming from the
liberals.

2. The Next Step For The Liberal Will Be To Attempt To Discredit Your
Source

If it is Fox or any perceived "right wing" source, they will refuse to
believe it. If it is a non-partisan source, they will claim it is right
wing, if it is a left of center source, they will find another lefty
source to "prove" you are wrong. They will not discuss the facts
themselves, as they know they have lost. If you must go down this road
(there is a high entertainment value), don't allow this diversion. Go
back to the facts.

3. The Limbaugh Defense:

This is one that comes out early and often. Although you know they never listen to Rush Limbaugh and have no idea what he says, they will drag him out and claim you are a Ditto head. This is another diversionary tactic. It has no relevance and is an attempt to change the subject. The more desperate they are, the more childish and ridiculous the reference to Limbaugh becomes: Flush, LimpBag, etc. Ignore this and re-post the facts. DO NOT BE DIVERTED.

4. The Personal Attack:

Another common thread. Also designed to divert the lost argument. NEVER give any hint of personal information. Even something as innocuous as "I am a chef".

They will attempt to engage you and call you a liar to divert attention
from the original lost argument. Ignore this and re-post the facts yet
to be refuted.

5. Name Calling:

Still another diversion. If you fail to give them any personal information, they will attempt to draw you out to gain more insight into your personal side. Then they will return to step 4. Ignore this.

6. The Liberal Bat Signal:

When they find out they are unable to engage
you, divert you or goad you into a completely irrelevant topic, they
will send out the Bat Signal. This is where a bunch of Liberals (or
often, the same one using several names, i.e., Rudy) post a number of
rapid fire posts congratulating the Liberal on handing you your head on
a platter. This tactic often works on even the most logical and
disciplined of us. The urge to rant must be resisted. Your rant will
supply them with all the personal insight they need to spew hatred and
personal attacks. The best tactic here is to use the same tactic back at
them.

Keep in mind, a Liberal will never admit you have a valid point (Dutch
did, once), much less that you won a debate. So, the only reasons to
continue a dialog with a liberal after the initial statement of facts
that established your victory are for entertainment and educational
purposes. If you refuse to take the bait and demand the topic remain on
the original premise, they will eventually just go away and try to find
someone else that will engage them on their terms.

Now, go away, Snowflake.
