Cherokee Nation Democratic Activist SLAMS Elizabeth Warren For 'Racial Identity Theft'

A Cherokee woman and Democratic activist denounced Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) for her "lies" about being Native American and accused the likely presidential candidate of cultural appropriation and "racial identity theft."

Writing in the Huffington Post, Nagle, a citizen of Cherokee Nation who identifies as a "two-spirit," says Warren should not become president because of her "false claims" of Native American ancestry.

"As a registered Democrat, I agree with a wide range of Warren's policies," Nagle writes. "But as a Cherokee woman, I cannot support her until she rescinds her false claims of Cherokee and Delaware heritage."

"Racial identity theft is normally not socially acceptable," Nagle said.

Nagle argues the country cannot expect a woman who "lies about her own history" to lead the nation. She said Warren's cultural appropriation "directly contradicts the progressive agenda she preaches."
