Washington Post reporter Amy Gardner got her hands on the actual registration card where Big Chief Elizabeth Warren identified her race as “American Indian” when applying for the State Bar in Texas:

It’s not a blackface/kkk photo, but seeing it for real sure is damning. Of course we all know she apologized to the Cherokee Nation for the DNA test, but seeing the proof is still gonna be a rough deal for her.
I bet she’ll be putting back a few beers tonight!
Also, remember this?
Flashback to 2012: “Warren maintained that she never personally wrote herself in as Native American on any documents at Harvard, though she lacked specifics in how she informed school officials of her ancestry.” https://t.co/dB8zAcmqH5

"Warren maintained that she never personally wrote herself in as Native American on any documents at Harvard, though she lacked specifics in how she informed school officials of her ancestry. “I’ve never seen any Harvard forms,’’ she said. “I don’t have forms on what they report to the federal government. I know that at some point after I was hired, I let them know.’’Asked how Harvard came to list her as a Native American while she was a visiting professor in the 1992-1993 academic year, essentially a trial run before she was offered a tenured position, Warren replied, “I don’t recall telling them. But I never tried to hide it. I don’t want to mislead in any way on this.’’
When the question was repeated, Warren said, “I don’t know.’’
She probably wrote this everywhere. But even if she was honest in the 2012 interview, it’s obvious now where they Harvard got the information and she was probably smart enough then to know that’s how it would filter down.
Twitter is already starting to have fun with this:
