My analysis of @ewarren at the @4directionsvote forum: Essentially, I see a pattern of attempting to vaguely admit that she was wrong, but not say specifically why she was wrong or what she did. And then to pivot quickly to her strong suit, which is public policy. #NativeVote 1/
It's a good strategy for her, but it doesn't address the central issue of Cherokee sovereignty: how will you repair the harm you have caused? She has not even admitted what that harm was, the DNA test video is still up on her website, and she didn't answer any tough questions. 2/
The panel was laudatory and pitched softball questions that had no real bite.
Really, I was most disappointed in how any critique of Warren is seen as coming from the radical Trumpian right, rather than from concerned Indigenous people. 3/

Indian Country should not be censuring other tribes whose interests and identity are directly affected by Warren's cultural theft. The fact that she has yet to sit down with Cherokees is telling in this regard. 4.
