Do you remember Rachel Dolezal? She was the white woman who pretended to be black and even ended up in a leadership position at the NAACP until her secret was exposed.
Elizabeth Warren was just compared to her, by a radio host, in person, on the air. Oof.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Radio Host to Warren: You Sound Like the Original Rachel Dolezal
A radio host told Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) she sounded like “the original Rachel Dolezal” on Friday due to her past claims of Native American ancestry.
In an interview on The Breakfast Club, Warren explained she learned from family lore that she was part Native American growing up, but a skeptical Charlamagne Tha God asked when she found out she wasn’t Native American.
“Well, I’m not a person of color. I’m not a citizen of a tribe, and tribal citizenship is an important distinction and not something I am,” Warren replied.
She pointed to a Boston Globe investigation showing she didn’t benefit professionally from her dubious racial claims.
“You’re kind of like the original Rachel Dolezal, a little bit,” Charlamagne Tha God said. “Rachel Dolezal was a white woman pretending to be black.”

“Well, this is what I learned from my family,” Warren said, before the subject changed.
Watch the video:
Conservative writer Stephen Miller made some great comments about this on Twitter:
When The Breakfast Club grills Warren on her heritage claims harder than anyone else in network or NY/DC media. This is an incredible clip. https://t.co/FKGEJI1771

“You claimed you were Native American on your law license. Why’d you do that?” (Perfect straight forward question)
“It’s what I believe.”
And ***THAT’S*** not problematic to the SJW media Vox drinking left? Oh my god ROFL.

Trump will straight up murder her in a general election.

Warren & Media – "She really has the best policy ideas and most comprehensive plans to move the country forward with a bold progressive vision."
Trump – "Why'd you claim you were Pocahontas?"
Trump wins 38 states.
