![]() ![]() Senator Warren has given some indications that she might consider a run for the Presidency in 2020. What point was she trying to make when she claimed Native American heritage? Are her opponents just trying to catch her in a lie, that she falsely claimed Native American ancestry to try to garner support from that constituency? Or is there more significance to it than that? ![]() Why does any of this matter? As far as I can recall, she doesn't refer to this much when discussing legislative policy. Trump is now disputing that he ever made that offer (even though the media has been playing the tape of it all day), and other Republicans are saying that it's a really small fraction of her lineage (did she say otherwise?). Today she released results of a DNA analysis that showed a strong likelihood that an ancestor 6-10 generations ago was Native American, and gave the name of a charity Trump should give the millon dollars to. It seems reminiscent of the way he championed the "birther" movement that claimed President Barack Obama was not actually born in the US, and demanded to see his birth certificate.Īt a rally earlier this year he challenged her to prove it, saying he would donate $1 millon to her favorite charity. For some reason, Donald Trump has accused her of lying about this, and he's also made fun of her by calling her "Pocahontas". In the past (perhaps during her Senate campaign), Senator Elizabeth Warren has mentioned that she has some Native American blood in her geneology. ![]()
