Elizabeth Warren denies using Native American heritage to 'get ahead'
by Diana Stancy Correll | Nov 27, 2017, 9:16 PM

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., pushed back on White House press secretary Sarah Sander’s allegations that she identified as Native American to advance her career.

Warren, who has come under scrutiny for identifying as Native American in a directory of law professors before securing a job at Harvard Law School, told CNN host Anderson Cooper Monday night that she never used her heritage to “get ahead.”

“Never. I never used it to get ahead, I never used it to get into school, I never used it to get a job,” Warren said. “Look, this is just a way for Donald Trump to be able to try to get somebody talking about something other than what he's doing.”

Bernie Sanders on the subject:

"I think Sen. Warren was very offensive when she lied about something to advance her career. I don't understand why no one is asking about that," Sanders told reporters Monday.

(Let's recall that Warren was the likely Dem offering in 2020)

She's so deeply in this lie, there's no hope of getting out.

[Night Hides Not]

IIRC, her application to Harvard noted she was Native American.

She's so deeply in this lie, there's no hope of getting out.

How can she get out?  She can't deny she used the lie and she can't deny that it was a lie.

I love it when dems dig their own graves with a tomahawk.

Exactly,  Emjay!
