Awkward apology predicted as Warren agrees to forum with Native American leaders
August 18, 2019 | Tom Tillison
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) will face an awkward moment on Monday, having agreed to take part in a candidate forum in Sioux City, Iowa, that will focus on issues affecting Native Americans.
Given the blond-haired, blue-eyed Democratic presidential candidate’s rich history of claiming to be a Native American, which culminated with a DNA test showing she is upwards to 1/1,024th Cherokee, Warren will find herself in a room of actual Native Americans.
“It’s going to be awkward for her even if she puts on a smile,†Native American activist Simon Moya-Smith told the New York Post.
Moya-Smith, 36, of the Ogala-Lakota Nation, sees the occasion as an opportunity for Warren to own up to the truth and apologize.
