After more than a month of scrutiny surrounding Elizabeth Warren's past claims to Native American lineage, the Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate on Thursday acknowledged for the first time that she had told several employers about her purported Cherokee heritage. Previously, Warren had said she had been unaware that Harvard Law School touted her as a Native American employee during her tenure there...

Warren has repeatedly defended the claims to her heritage and has disputed the notion that she improperly identified as Native American in order to further her professional career. But she has not provided any genealogical proof to back up her assertions, citing instead family lore.

She should have just said she was African American because she was from Egypt...

You'll be fine as long as you're a liberal democrat.

Oh and about Warren don't forget, she had "them high cheekbones". Her families racism proves her heritage.
