I really really really like her message and policies but the native American stuff gives me pause...
So you'd rather vote based on someone's ancestry than their policies?
No, I’d prefer to vote for someone who doesn’t respond to every little criticism of them and then proceed to bungle that response. She should have just came clean with everything, apologized to the appropriate Native groups, and moved on. None of that DNA test bullcrap.
One way Trump can win re-election is by blowing his opponent’s dirty laundry out of proportion to create a false equivalency between his awful conduct and his opponent’s scandals (see: “but her emails”). The way Warren’s reacted to him trying to do this in the past gives me major pause. While claiming to be Native American on a bar exam is kinda a d¡ck move, it’s not the end of the world and she apologized for it. She should be forgiven because she’s pushing for policies that would benefit everyone including native Americans. I’m just afraid Trump will capitalize on this scandal effectively.
