What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elizabeth Warren ? Senator Elizabeth Warren (Yuri Gripas/Reuters)
Donald Trumpâs taunts may turn out to be the least of  Elizabeth Warrenâs  problems if  her  refusal to apologize for  her  false claims of native American heritage angers the Left.
Since the issue was first raised during  her  2012 Senate election campaign   Senator Elizabeth Warren  has acted as if questions about  her  past claims of Native American ancestry were simply racist.  Her  assumption was that the more President Donald Trump called  her  âPocahontas â the better it was for  her   since his insults are a badge of honor on the left. But as  she  prepares for what looks like a run at the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination  it turns out the man in the White House is not the only one who thinks thereâs something fishy about  Warren âs attempt to brush off criticism of  her  fibs.
The fact that  Warren  has been involving  herself  in Native American issues and spoke to the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) earlier this month is a tipoff that  she  is thinking about more than what will be a cakewalk to reelection in Massachusetts this fall. The Native American controversy is a potential liability  and not just because Republicans will never let  her  forget about it. In what is likely to be a brutally competitive 2020 Democratic race with a large field of candidates  for the first time   she  can expect some fellow Democrats to chime in about  her  past claims.
That ought to provide plenty of motivation for  Warren  to dispose of the issue  by apologizing for what  she  can call a misunderstanding based on what turned out to be a family myth. Simply saying youâre sorry and leaving it at that goes a long way toward silencing critics in any crisis. But it appears that  Warren  isnât choosing that path. Instead of putting the controversy to rest   Warren  has chosen to embrace it.
If it was only Trump calling  her  âFauxcahontas â  Warren  would probably have let the issue rest and relied on the willingness of the media and other liberals to label the president and anyone else lobbing the epithet at  her  as racists. But once  Warren  heard The Daily Showâs Trevor Noah mock  her  false claims of Cherokee ancestry   she  likely realized that Republicans werenât the only ones ready to finally hold  her  accountable for  her  decades-long pose as a minority. A similarly critical piece about the issue by a Cherokee activist  published on the left-wing ThinkProgress website  also made it clear that the cover  she âs received from fellow liberals on this point is vanishing. More important   she âll likely be facing off against actual minority candidates  such as Kamala Harris and Cory Booker  in 2020  at which point the authenticity of  her  background will again become an issue.
 Her  solution was to give a series of interviews and speeches in which  she  admits that  her  past assertions cannot be backed up by the record  but continues to insist that  she  did no wrong  asserting that the notion of  her  Cherokee identity is a long-cherished part of  her  family lore that was handed down to  her . When  she  told the Boston Globe  âI know who I am â it came across as defiant.
The falseness of Warrenâs claims about  her  heritage seems clear by now. Though  Warren  keeps saying that  she  was told  her  motherâs family was part Cherokee and Delaware  there is no proof that this is true. Both genealogists and historians have examined the birth  marriage  and death records of  her  family and found no trace of either tribe. The tribal rolls also show no one in  her  family as having been a registered Cherokee or Delaware. Thatâs a point on which Native American activists have been assertive with respect to other whites seeking to gain either a fake minority status or access to some of the privileges or income available to tribal members in an era when casinos have become a lifeline for their communities.
While  Warren âs puzzling choice to try and have it both ways can be attributed to poor judgment  it also demonstrates the fatal appeal of identity politics on the left.
Faced with these inconvenient facts   Warren  appears to think a strategy in which  she  can be anointed as a sort of honorary Native American might serve to undermine any criticism. In  her  speech to the NCAI   Warren  admitted that  âYou wonât find my family members on any rolls  and Iâm not enrolled in a tribe. And I want to make something clear: I respect that distinction  I understand that tribal membership is determined by tribes  and only by tribes.â
Yet rather than leave it at that   Warren  didnât apologize for past claims of identity and then asserted that  she  had never used those claims to get ahead in  her  career  even though that is disputed.  She  also went on to say that whenever  she  is attacked for  her  past fibs in the future   she  would âuse it to lift up the story of your families and communities.â And indeed   she  has lately signed up to co-sponsor some bills of interest to Native Americans that were promulgated by other senators.
But at the same time   she  hasnât apologized for listing  herself  as a Native American during the course of  her  career as a law professor  which may have given  her  a leg up in the fierce competition for coveted spots on the Harvard Law School faculty. Nor has  she  stopped sticking to  her  unsubstantiated story about  her  fatherâs family opposing  her  parentsâ marriage because of  her  motherâs tribal ties;  she  even retold it during  her  speech to the NCAI.
While  Warren âs puzzling choice to try and have it both ways can be attributed to poor judgment  it also demonstrates the fatal appeal of identity politics on the left. In a political culture that prizes any link to victimization   Warren  still canât resist holding onto  her  past claims  even though a simple apology would seem the smarter move.
 Warren âs supporters point to the fact that Scott Brown   her  2012 Senate opponent  didnât seem to profit from his campaignâs emphasis on the âfake Indianâ issue. But once  she âs competing for liberal votes in Democratic primaries  rather than counting  as  she  did then  on  her  party uniting behind  her  no matter what the opposition says  it will be a very different story.  She âll likely discover that the game  she âs playing is a lot more dangerous on the national stage than it was in Massachusetts.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Larry Fink ? Larry Fink  is probably the most powerful person most Americans have never heard of. And now  he  is deploying  his  vast power to cajole corporate America into pursuing a left wing agenda under the guise of asking them to âcontribute to society.â
 Laurence D. Fink  is the founder and chief executive of the enormous investment firm BlackRock  which manages in the neighborhood of $6 trillion of assets. That enormous hoard of financial assetsâwhich it invests on behalf of individuals with 401(k) plans institutions such as pension funds  state and local governments  Fortune 500 companies  sovereign wealth funds  and college endowmentsâmakes BlackRock the largest investor in the world. It gives BlackRockâand Fink himselfâenormous sway in corporate boardrooms and the stock market.
Now  Fink  is deploying  his  financial clout by demanding business leaders adhere to a left-wing agenda. In  his  annual letter released Tuesday   Fink  announced that BlackRock will require that companies make a âpositive contribution to societyâ and âserve a social purpose.â
Unfortunately   Fink  goes beyond calling for increased corporate responsibility.  His  letter makes it clear that  he  defines the act of making a contribution very narrowly.  He  wants companies to adopt left-wing policy goals in the name of corporate responsibility.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W. Bush ? Democrats Barack Obama  Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and Republicans George H.W. and  George W. Bush  gathered in College Station  Texas  home of Texas A&M University  to try to unite the country after the storms.
Texas A&M is home to the presidential library of  the elder Bush . At 93  he has a form of Parkinson’s disease and appeared in a wheelchair at the event. His wife  Barbara  and George W. Bush’s wife  Laura  were in the audience.
“This wonderful effort reminds  us  that  we  truly are one nation under God  all unified by  our  values and devotion to one another ” Trump said in the greeting  played during the concert.
Four of the five former presidents — Obama   George W. Bush   Carter and Clinton — made brief remarks that did not mention Trump.  The elder Bush  did not speak but smiled and waved to the crowd.  They  appealed for national unity to help those hurt by the hurricanes.
The last time the five were together was in 2013  when Obama was still in office  at the dedication of  George W. Bush’s  presidential library in Dallas.
There is precedent for former presidents joining forces for post-disaster fundraising.  George H.W. Bush  and Bill Clinton raised money together after the 2004 South Asia tsunami and Hurricane Katrina the next year. Clinton and  George W. Bush  combined to seek donations after Haiti’s 2011 earthquake.
Hurricane Harvey slammed into Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane on Aug. 25  unleashing historic flooding in Houston and killing more than 80 people. Shortly thereafter  all five ex-presidents appeared in a commercial for a fundraising effort known as “One America Appeal.” In it   George W. Bush  says  “People are hurting down here.”  His  father  George H.W. Bush  then replies  “We love you  Texas.”
