Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren may have apologized for taking a DNA test to prove she has Native American ancestry, but President Donald Trump could use his "Pocahontas" label for Warren to damage her as he did to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, according to at least one Republican consultant.
Warren can say she never used her ethnicity—her DNA test found she is between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American and backfired—to land a job. But Trump could use it against her to question her honesty.
"If you give Trump a tool to equalize the playing field, which is what this does, he will do exactly what he did to Hillary Clinton," Republican consultant Dan Hazelwood told Politico Magazine in a piece published online Tuesday.
Hazelwood, who owns Targeted Creative Communications, said Warren has "never given the answer to the core of the Trump charge, which is: She cheated. She cheated for personal gain. She hasn't answered that part of the attack."
The consultant said "we're all kidding ourselves" to think Trump would not be able to find people including Native Americans who would admit they still think Warren's DNA test was inappropriate "and she never actually properly accounted for her misdeeds." Hazelwood cautioned Democrats to "not pretend that you can't find those people, because a presidential campaign can."

I call her Elizabeth Walking Eagle.
Pocahontas and “Nasty Woman” could work.
But, he doesn’t have to use the pejorative labels.
He could just use her dishonest history, and her policies, and brand her as a socialist and even a communist, which is where her politics/policies/agenda lies. People are still not comfortable with socialism and/or communism
Just lay out the cost of her MANY programs/solutions, and VOILA!!!, she’s gone!
Don’t say Pocahontas, say FAUXcahontas :)
She looks like a middle school teacher. That will lose her the election
She is the most dangerous Democrat.
She is already backing away from, and apologizing for, the Indian stuff. By November 2020 it will be old news. She’s interested in the money question, which is the most important, and most neglected, issue except for war and immigration.
She’s white, and not a billionaire.
She’s 50-50 for the nomination and lacks Hillary’s negatives.
It will be hard work to beat her.
she did not “use a dna test to prove she has native American ancestry”
she (perniciously, imho) used her lies about having native American ancestry to get discriminatory favors in her life and academic studies...
to the disadvantage of Americans who did NOT choose to lie about themselves
and after years and years of these self-serving deceptions, she finally had to take a dna test.. which proved what a liar she is
the Newsweak propaganda story begins with a cleverish deception, mis-statement of the facts....trying to benefit or protect Fake Injun Squaw (while, of course, attacking PDJT again)
this style of turning “news reports” into “subliminal propaganda” is why nearly everyone stopped reading Newsweak...and why it is not even on sale at any of the magazine shelves.... not even the very largest one that offers something like 200 magazines on sale
Wondering the same thing. That statement in the article made no sense to me in light of the known facts.
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.
I prefer her being called Lieawatha.
She lied about being an Indian to advance her Career and her Financial and Personal gain.
LIEawatha suits her perfectly.
Yes. Her nick needs that precise upgrade.
Yes - the perfect time to switch it to Fauxcahontas. It’s the proper name for a FAKE INDIAN.
There’s several to choose from:
Lieawatha
Fauxcohontus
Chief Spreading Bull
>>Warren can say she never used her ethnicity—her DNA test found she is between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American and backfired—to land a job.
Stalinists lie. Always
Exactly!
She is the most dangerous Democrat.
Only for voters who have good memories of their high school english teachers
