Elizabeth Warren: I’m Native American “because my mother told me so”

She’s digging in, bolstered by headlines that much of the electorate doesn’t care, via MassLive:

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that she knows she has Native American ancestry because her mother told her so.Warren’s 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.”

Via Fox25 Boston, Elizabeth Warren stonewalling:

Don’t think this is going away. As we approach November, and as more evidence comes out, her blaming Brown and playing the victim isn’t going to work. It doesn’t need convince a lot of the electorate, just enough.
