First, she didn't lie about her race to get to Harvard. That has been thoroughly debunked, and it's not hard to find out how it's not true. From the Boston Globe: 

In the most exhaustive review undertaken of Elizabeth Warren’s professional history, the Globe found clear evidence, in documents and interviews, that her claim to Native American ethnicity was never considered by the Harvard Law faculty, which voted resoundingly to hire her, or by those who hired her to four prior positions at other law schools. At every step of her remarkable rise in the legal profession, the people responsible for hiring her saw her as a white woman.

The Globe examined hundreds of documents, many of them never before available, and reached out to all 52 of the law professors who are still living and were eligible to be in that Pound Hall room at Harvard Law School. Some are Warren’s allies. Others are not. Thirty-one agreed to talk to the Globe — including the law professor who was, at the time, in charge of recruiting minority faculty. Most said they were unaware of her claims to Native American heritage and all but one of the 31 said those claims were not discussed as part of her hire. One professor told the Globe he is unsure whether her heritage came up, but is certain that, if it did, it had no bearing on his vote on Warren’s appointment.

Second, if we're basing eligibility for running for president on a reputation for telling the truth, Trump would be disqualified immediately. 

 

You don't have to like Warren. That is fine.

Trump has lied somewhere in his life, therefore its perfectly okay for Democrat politicians to adopt the ethnicities of minorities for personal gain and even weaponize it. I mean come on, who hasn't done this a time or ten? Tomayto, Tomahto.

Whether or not her ethnicity was a deciding factor, the fact is she lied in order to gain an advantage.

regardless if it was to get into harvard or not, lying about your race (especially as a liberal who claims to be more "woke" and progressive than others, who constantly shame conservatives for being racist) is one of the most disingenuous and phony things to do. That is why these democrats are even having some of their further left colleagues go against them, because they claim to be ABOVE the grain, and are time and time again proven to be liars, and potentially racists themselves. And I am definitely not a conservative/trump supporter saying this.

No one is saying much about Bloomberg yet, but let's keep this in mind:

That's not what was being raised by the other poster. He/she said Warren lied to get an advantage to get to Harvard. That Globe article shows that just isn't true. The other poster even came back to move the goalposts about the issue!!! 

 

Nature Boy, I like you, but don't move the goalposts too.😘

Was there not something about her father and his job?

Just because some MDL academic person said so. The fact she appropriated another cultural race to her advantage is not in doubt. The President of the Ukraine said there was no quid pro quo .That makes it so, right ?

I like you also

Not only did Warren lie about her race to get herself into Harvard, but Harvard used that lie to benefit their own image as well.

 

Instead of Native American being a distinct ethnic background, having its own subcultures, worthy of respect for distinct reasons, it simply became a title to adopt when not achieving something worthwhile, a cudgel to use against people to facilitate getting one's way. This, is the garbage woke "culture" has pulled endlessly over the last decade.

So... just because the people who interviewed her for a job as a professor said her race/ethnicity wasn't an issue that was discussed that means we should discount what they say? I mean, who else could say this but the people who were in charge of hiring?

 

I'm glad you like me too. Having a bit of a ####### day so it means something to hear it.❤
