Warren didn't make mistake; she lied

Elizabeth Warren, at the Frank LeMere Native American Presidential Forum in Sioux City, Iowa, stated, "I know I have made mistakes" and "I am sorry for the harm I

have caused."

She is mistaken when she refers to her claiming to be Native American in order to be accepted as a student of Harvard University as a mistake. That was a lie, not a mistake. A mistake is when you write a check that bounces because there wasn't as much money in the account to cover the amount of the check. A mistake is misreading a recipe and putting in so much salt as to render the food too salty to eat.

As I stated before, making a false claim for personal gain is a lie, not a mistake.
