| The Boston Globe Turns On Elizabeth Warren |
| 2018-01-20 |
| 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. |

| #4 Just working to 'defuse' the situation for her. They know this will be a big mark against her so they are trying to clean-air it early so when the election come around it'll be 'old news... move along...'. |

| #3 Of course the article completely ignored the possibility that Warren used her "minority" status to get hired by Harvard. |
