It seems U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren will never live down her assertion of Native American ancestry.
Warren, whom President Donald Trump has indelibly dubbed “Pocahontas,” based her claim on family lore and high cheek bones. But that ghost will be “haunting” the Massachusetts Democrat as she gears up for reelection this year and mulls the possibility of a 2020 White House run, according to The Boston Globe.
“I know who I am,” Warren told the newspaper in a recent interview.
Trouble is, many Americans also know who Warren is, as seen in the term often associated with the lawmaker: “Fake Indian.”[…]
Some Native Americans want an apology from Warren for her claim, but for now, she is holding firm and shows no inclination toward saying she’s sorry.
“My three brothers and I learned about our family heritage back in Oklahoma the way everyone does,” Warren told The Globe. “From our aunts, our uncles, and our grandparents.
“I never asked for any benefit from it and I never got any benefit from it,” she added.
