Elizabeth Warren compared to Rachel Dolezal
|
[NYPOST] Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth The Belle of Gitchie Goomie Warren
 ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless..
has continued to back away from her claims of Native American ancestry, admitting "I shouldn’t have done it" during a radio interview on Friday morning.
Her appearance on "The Breakfast Club" turned awkward when co-host Charlamagne tha God grilled Warren and compared her to Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who infamously posed as black despite having no known African ancestry.
When asked why she listed her race as "American Indian" on old documents, the Massachusetts Democrat insisted, "This is what I learned from my family."
"Were there any benefits to that?" Charlamagne pressed in the video shared on Twitter.
Oops! That's the whole point
"No, the Boston Globe did a full investigation," Warren insisted. "Nothing about my family every affected any job I ever got."
"You’re kind of like the original Rachel Dolezal, a little bit. Rachel Dolezal was a white woman pretending to be black," Charlamagne said.
THAT'S gonna leave a mark
Rachel Dolezal infamously posed as black to become president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP but resigned when it was revealed in 2015 that she was born to white parents.
Warren first claimed to have Native American ancestry in 2012 and in October last year doubled down on her claims by releasing a video about her family history and the results of a DNA test that found "strong evidence" of a Native ancestor.
But the stunt backfired and the 69-year-old was forced to apologize to leaders of the Cherokee Nation who said the DNA test was "inappropriate and wrong."
In October it was revealed that Warren listed her race as "American Indian" on her Texas Bar registration card in 1986.
"I learned about my family the same way most people learn about their family, from my momma and my daddy and my aunts and my uncles, and it’s what I believed," Warren said Friday.
"But I’m not a person of color. I’m not a citizen of a tribe, and I shouldn’t have done it."
After Warren released the results of the DNA test, Trump unloaded a series of attacks on her, dubbing Warren "Pocahontas."
