«Breaking News» Elizabeth Warren makes a surprise appearance at Native American luncheon

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren made a surprise appearance at a luncheon honoring Native American women leaders Tuesday. 

During the National Indian Women's 'Supporting Each Other' lunch in Washington DC, Warren called for 'action' on issues important to their community including the rising problem of missing and murdered indigenous women. 

Warren's meeting Tuesday comes amid lingering tensions over her past claims to be of Native American heritage as she seeks the Democratic presidential nomination. 

President Donald Trump continues to hit Warren on the issue, mocking her with the name 'Pocahontas' and recently tweeting about 'the TRAIL' in what some viewed as a reference to Native American genocide.

Warren was introduced Tuesday by New Mexico Democratic Rep Deb Haaland, one of two Native Americans serving in Congress, who called the Massachusetts senator 'a great friend to Indian Country'.

Haaland and Warren said they're working together on new legislation addressing Native American issues.

According to the Huffington Post, Warren received a standing ovation from tribal leaders and the other attendees as she made her way to the stage. 

In her speech, Warren called on Congress to take action on issues facing Native Americans, including the 'alarming number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls,' as well as suicide rates among Native people, housing and health care.     

'The agenda is enormous and the fights will be tough,' Warren said. 'In tough fights, it is important to have leaders like Cheryl out in front. Cheryl is warm, and understanding and sharp. She's forceful and let's say it - she persists.'

Brenda Toineeta Pipestem, a former NIWRC board member and currently a tribal Supreme Court justice said it is 'important' the native community show their support for Warren, calling her an ally. 

'We have to rely on our allies to fight for us behind closed doors and on the floor of the Senate to protect our Native American women and children,' Pipestem said.

This comes a week after Warren repeatedly apologized for claiming on a 1986 form to be 'American Indian,' saying she is not a citizen of any tribe.

Warren faced reporters last Wednesday after a bombshell report brought to light her state bar application form where she had made the claim. 

With her presidential campaign on the line and a looming swing through key states, Warren expressed repeated regret – but didn't rule out the possibility that there are more forms from that time period out there. 

'This is who I grew up believing with my brothers,' said Warren, who was raised in Oklahoma. 

'This is our family story. It's all consistent from that point in time. But as I said, it's important to note I'm not a tribal citizen and I should have been more mindful of the distinction with tribal citizenship and tribal sovereignty.'

She referenced her previous apology call to a tribal chief about her earlier public release of a DNA test that showed a tiny fraction of native American blood. 'That's why I apologized to Chief Baker and why I made a very public apology about it,' she said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
