I mean I'm missing something here and I saw Scott Brown's opening remarks. Hell he might as well wished he were Latino, sprayed his face orange and asked for Obama's birth certificate after that opening remark.
Here's what I know.
Warren was born in Oklahoma so there is a good chance that somewhere in her family tree is Native American.
I've also had genetics, and I know that after a few generations you could see Native American features less prominent if any at all. I've met others who have said they have Native American history and look as pasty white as me. Doesn't mean they are faking something.
From what I've read about Elizabeth Warren's life she's a pretty smart person. She got scholarship into college, always had great grades and was very successful at the work she has done. So whether or not she used the Native American card to get into Harvard or any job seems kinda moot when you're talking about a person who has had a history of excellent grades and work history.
So really, what is the issue here? Why is that the key #1 comment that Brown had to lead with that makes Elizabeth Warren just totally 'unelectable' in his eyes?
