Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she knows she has Native American ancestry because her mother told her so.
Warrens comments came after nearly four minutes of tense back and forth between Warren and Fox 25 reporter Sharman Sacchetti and 7News reporter Andy Hiller. As both reporters questioned Warren about why she listed herself as a minority in law directories, Warren refused to answer, saying she had already answered questions about her background.
Finally, Warren said, I am proud of my family and I am proud of my heritage.
Hiller followed up: Does it include an Indian background?
Warren replied, Yes.
How do you know that? Hiller asked.
Warren responded, Because my mother told me so. This is how I live. My mother, my grandmother, my family. This is my family. Scott Brown has launched attacks on my family. I am not backing off from my family.

Your mom’s a lying sack.
Since mom told her about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, that would explain why she is a liberal.
My grandmother’s grandmother was full Mohawk. I’m glow in the dark white. Should I claim to be something I’m not for financial advantage?
Chieftess Spreading Bull, your mother speaks with forked tongue.
Surprised she didn't go full-victim mode ...and say they attacks were because she's a female minority.
Doubling down on a 15 when the dealer has a face card up is usually a BAD idea...
That settles that then, we can all rest easy now. /sarc
Lizzie, it is bad form to place the blame for your lies onto the shoulders of your mother. You knowingly misrepresented yourself, admit it.
How ‘bout “Princess Fulla Bull”?
Big deal....MY mom told me I was smart and good looking......so, um, there you are. Moms....whaddya gonna do.....
Excellent analogy.
Like mother, like daughter.
Your mother told you lots of things Eliza, but she didn’t tell you the biggest part: YOU’RE ADOPTED.
Talk about stuck on stupid. It would be so easy to say, “Well I was told by my mom that we had Cherokee ancestors, but I never did the geneology. Now it seems that may not have been the case.” End of story.
I kinda hope she pulls it off. You see, “Lenhart” is a variation of “Lionheart”. Therefore I am descended from Kings ;) Add that to my distant Indian heritage. I will therefore be able to not only exert claim over American land, but rule it!
At least according to liberal logic....
Question for Warren from white reporter, “Would you approve me for an African-American scholarship based on my mother telling me I am 1/32 black? Why not?”
That’s right! You “feel it to be true”; therefore, it is true! :-)
