The Boston Globe Turns On Elizabeth Warren
And I thought pigs could not fly...[Boston Globe] WASHINGTON ‐ There’s a ghost haunting Elizabeth Warren as she ramps up for a possible 2020 presidential bid and a reelection campaign in Massachusetts this year: her enduring and undocumented claims of Native American ancestry. Warren says now, as she has from the first days of her public life, that she based her assertions on family lore, on her reasonable trust in what she was told about her ancestry as a child. "I know who I am," she said in a recent interview with the Globe. But that self-awareness may not be enough, as her political ambitions blossom. She’s taken flak from the right for years as a "fake Indian," including taunts from President Trump, who derisively calls her "Pocahontas.’’ That clamor from the right will only grow with her increasing prominence.
