Apparently some Elizabeth Warren sympathizers don’t exactly like their “heroine” being called out for lying about her Cherokee heritage, even when it’s done calmly and professionally as only Mary Katharine Ham can:
@mkhammer What you stated on CNN vis-a-vis Elizabeth Warren's heritage was not only LUDICROUS…it was as cheap as Trump's insult!

Really?! And what did Ham have to say about it?
Calmly reciting a Democratic senator's lies is neither ludicrous nor an insult. It was ludicrous & insulting she called herself Cherokee. https://t.co/hmoCgVzFjM

Bingo. There is nothing hateful or unkind about listing off lies told by a senator to further her own career. If you don’t like what Warren did don’t yell at the messenger, yell at Warren.
What if he called her "The Sqaw"? Would that offend you?

Oh boy.
What if she stole a recipe from NYT and put it in a "Native American cookbook" called "Pow Wow Chow" (!) & said that was proof?
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) February 11, 2017
*snickers* That would be ok because umm … girl power? No?
Yes, kinda offensive. Like calling her names. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Wha? Where did Ham call Warren a name?
I've yet to call her a name, so I'm right & she's wrong and I'll talk about it all day. She doesn't get a pass bc Trump's a boob.
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) February 11, 2017
Ok, that one is gonna leave a mark.
What if he patted his hand over his mouth while making a mock Native American war-cry? What would it take to offend you?
— Jim Peters ن (@petro0001) February 11, 2017
This guy really seems to want Ham to be as offended as he is. Sheesh.
What if she claimed to be Cherokee bc family has "high cheekbones, like all the Indians do." What would it take to offend you?

Dude, walk away.

She lied on multiple applications to take advantage of diversity programs meant for minorities. Do you think that's ok?
— Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) February 11, 2017
Yeah, the good Captain doesn’t get it. Well, a lot of people on the Left (and McMullin types it seems, which we’re not entirely sure where they sit politically) seem ok with the notion that Warren lied about her ancestry to take advantage of the system.
Meanwhile calling people names is way worse.
Sure.
