Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Sunday that she changed her mind recently and took a DNA test proving her heritage because Americans’ trust in government is “at an all-time low” and she wanted to help rebuild it by being transparent.

The incumbent Massachusetts senator spoke at her second debate against Republican state Rep. Geoff Diehl in the U.S. Senate race. […]

Ultimately, she said, she took a DNA test because she believes one way to rebuild trust in government is by posting her full family history online “so anybody can take a look. … I believe one way that we try to rebuild confidence is through transparency.”

Diehl shot back that the issue “is not about Sen. Warren’s ancestry, it’s about integrity in my mind, and I don’t care whether you think you benefited or not from that claim, it’s the fact that you tried to benefit from that claim that I think bothers a lot of people and it’s something you haven’t been able to put to rest since the 2012 campaign,” when she first mentioned having Native American heritage that led President Donald Trump to start mocking her by calling her “Pocahontas.”

He added, “I don’t care what percentage she claims to be Native American; I just care that I’m 100 percent for Massachusetts and will be working for the people of this state.” …

Diehl is absolutely correct in what he said. She's just another Hillary, unethical, ambitious, and narcissistic.

When is she going to start hosting the left wing comedy tour? Mad Max can go along as the court jester. Schumcky can wear a sack over his head and be the not so unknown moron.

What benefit did she get from lying? If I remember, it was that she got into Harvard. When she surrenders her degree, I will consider her to be sincere.

If she wanted to be transparent, she would have used an ordinary DNA company, that ordinary Americans use, and released the actual results, not a summary by a chum.

Restoring trust in government by showing she lied about her heritage to get special treatment or special consideration throughout her academic career and political career?

yea, okay.

You should change your name to “SaxxonSage”. That was a great idea.

“took a DNA test proving her heritage”

You mean her heritage that she is white and not Cherokee as she claimed to be in order to score affirmative action goodies?
