Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was once again reminded that she exaggerated her Native American ancestry and was heckled during a campaign stop in Georgia.
While
introducing herself to a crowd of about 1,000 supporters in a
Lawrenceville high school, a man shouted “Why did you lie?" Warren
replied back “Be easy, be easy,” while the crowd chanted her name and
clapped.
The man was holding up a campaign sign that read “1/2020”
as he was quickly escorted out of the building. Warren released DNA
results examining her possible Native American ancestry last year in
response to criticism from Republicans and President Donald Trump.
The test revealed she could be anywhere between 1/64th and 1/1,204th Native American. In early February, she apologized to the Cherokee Nation
for taking the test, which angered some tribal leaders who felt that
being apart of the nation was rooted in centuries of culture and
laws, not through DNA tests.
