Before we get into the rapidly burgeoning nonsense, we should study up a little. Three years ago last June, a man named Chester Nez died. He was 93 years old. He was a World War II veteran from New Mexico. This is from his obituary that ran in The New York Times, because Chester Nez was a hero.

To the end of his life, Chester Nez recalled the first message he sent over the radio while serving at Guadalcanal: “Enemy machine gun nest on your right. Destroy.” Receiving the message, American forces eliminated the threat. Mr. Nez, a former United States Marine who died on Wednesday at 93, had sent the message not in English but rather in a code he had helped create. It originally went much like this: “Anaai (Enemy) naatsosi (Japanese) beeldooh alhaa dildoni (machine gun) nishnaajigo nahdikadgo (on your right flank). Diiltaah (Destroy).” The code was fashioned from Navajo, the language that Mr. Nez grew up speaking, was later barred from speaking and still later helped craft into a military code so impervious that it helped the United States secure victory in the Pacific in the summer of 1945.

It was at an event that honored the late Chester Nez, his surviving comrades, and their incredible sacrifice on behalf of an ingrate nation, that the president* thought it would be a good time to make a cheap, stupid joke at the expense of Senator Professor Warren...

On The View Tuesday morning, Meghan McCain complained that Senator Professor Warren lied about being Native American in order to get into Harvard Law School. SPW attended Rutgers Law School in New Jersey at the university’s Newark campus. That will not matter. By the middle of next year, one-third of the country will believe that SPW built a sweat-lodge in Harvard Yard and was conducting peyote ceremonies with undergrads. Welcome to the 2020 presidential campaign, kids. Won’t this be fun?

1. All of the RW responses are that Warren lied

Even SHS said as much in her daily press brief in support of Trump, and yet NO ONE in the media has called this out as RW bull crap! This smear is nearly as bad as the racist slur Trump uttered.

2. They are trying to turn it into a charge against her

Typical RW strategy.

3. Dont expect MSM to defend the truth. It is more

Important for them to drum up the drama and ratings.
A few lone wolf journalists will actually do their jobs but The Stupid are gaining importance and will be courted.
