Sen. Elizabeth Warren sought to solidify her connection with African-American voters Friday as she prepares to launch a potential presidential campaign amid criticism of her approach to race and identity.
The Massachusetts Democrat visited Morgan State University in Baltimore, marking her third trip this year to a historically black college or university. It follows her widely panned October release of a DNA test meant to bolster her claim to Native American heritage. Her speech Friday offered an opportunity to regain her footing.
“I’m not a person of color,” Warren said. “And I haven’t lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice, or more overt harm, that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin.

Lieawatha’s trail of undeserved breaks through false ethnic claims extends all the way to the Senate. Unless she resigns her Senate seat, she remains a lying hypocrite.
Her $15,000,000 net worth proves the old saying, “Vote on the left, live on the right” and is also rank hypocrisy.
Hardly matters now. Fauxcahontas won’t leave the Senate unless she dies in office, just like her predecessor Teddy the Swimmer.

to pick up some vinyl LP and in the book section
there was a children’s Warren book “Nevertheless, She Persisted “ ...
