Elizabeth Warren Stands by DNA Test. But Around Her, Worries Abound.

Advisers close to Ms. Warren say she has privately expressed concern that she may have damaged her relationships to Native American groups and her own standing with progressive activists, particularly those who are racial minorities. Several outside advisers are even more worried: They say they believe a plan should be made to repair that damage, possibly including a strong statement of apol



...


All of this is nice, that they all understand she messed up big time on this.

They are focusing on the DNA test. How about this...

Can you liberals simply call her crazy or a flat out liar for perpetuating the idea that she is Native American? That's the real issue here. The poor judgment to follow through with this whole DNA test was icing on the cake.

Let it go. Warren has no more chance of being the Dem nominee in 2020 than you do.

I think she has destroyed her chances of rising further in politics.
There are simply too many Democrats running for President and she has provided them with enough ammunition to prevent her from getting the nomination.


Right now, I am thinking if Biden runs, he will get the nomination. Maybe even the Oval Office.

Who cares about any of this beside the far right? No one.

Good grief, we have real problems to worry about these days. Your obsession with this inanity is beyond ridiculous.

The market is tanking, people close to Trump are flipping, the Saudis are gruesomely murdering US residents while the President lines his pockets with their money, the national debt is hitting record highs, North Korea is building nukes, etc. ... and you're worried about how much Native American heritage a Senator that doesn't represent your State has because she was listed in a yearbook as a minority 2 decades ago. I can only shake my head.

With their dear leader Trump being closed in on by multiple investigations, Trump supporters have to distract themselves with other "big news" stories, like the DNA make-up of a democratic senator LOL.

Why would it matter? We've had whites pose as black to lead chapters of the NAACP. We have men posing as women and vice versa.

All of her big government policies stink but she gets called out on appearance? nice lol

The truth hurts. I understand.

You're right it's not a big deal, so what. The NY Times thought it was.

Apparently it's big enough for all of you to take note and make an effort to poo-poo it...

In fact - I didn't post the most relevant parts of the article. Here's one...

In interviews, several progressives wondered if Ms. Warren’s decision to take the DNA test was indicative of a larger problem for several prospective presidential candidates: that their inner circles of advisers don’t reflect the racial diversity of the Democratic electorate.


I'm surprised they even admitted that one. As much as they rail against Republicans not representing diversity, here they are admitting that they don't represent diversity themselves.

Yes, I'll be humble and admit you got me. Honest truth? I will be devastated if it turns out Elizabeth Warren isn't %0.025 Native American. I will be absolutely devastated.

Truth hurting goes both ways, though. So if you get a little grumpy when Mueller, SDNY, and New York State investigators close in on Mushroom Donny, we'll understand.

Stick around
