During her first run for the Senate back in 2012, Warren was dogged by the fact that she had listed herself as a minority during the 1980s and 1990s. During an interview with NECN’s Jim Braude, she contended the issue was serious enough it almost stopped her parents from getting married.
“My mom and dad were very much in love with each other and they wanted to get married and my father’s parents said absolutely not,” she told Braude. “You can’t marry her because she’s part Cherokee and she’s part Delaware. And um, after fighting it as long as they could, my parents went off, they eloped.
It was an issue in our family the whole time I grew up about these two families. It was an issue still raised at my mother’s funeral,” she continued.
“So what I know about my parents is I know that in that little town they grew up in that my father’s parents knew enough about my mother and her family to say I have no doubts.”
That kind of small-minded oppression? All over an insanely small amount of allegedly Cherokee blood? Even a Cherokee genealogist doesn’t buy it.
Twila Barnes researched Warren’s lineage and called into question the Massachusetts senator’s account of the wedding, saying that her parents — Donald Herring and Pauline Reed — wouldn’t have needed to elope.
“The problem with Warren’s story is that none of the evidence supports it,” Barnes wrote on her blog back in 2016. “Her genealogy shows no indication of Cherokee ancestry. Her parents’ wedding doesn’t resemble an elopement. And additional evidence doesn’t show any indication of her Herring grandparents being Indian haters.”
