President Trump’s campaign wasted no time going after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Saturday shortly before she was expected to formally announce her candidacy for the White House in 2020.
“Elizabeth Warren has already been exposed as a fraud by the Native Americans she impersonated and disrespected to advance her professional career, and the people of Massachusetts she deceived to get elected,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement.
“The American people will reject her dishonest campaign and socialist ideas like the Green New Deal, that will raise taxes, kill jobs and crush America's middle-class. Only under President Trump's leadership will America continue to grow safer, secure and more prosperous,” he added.
The statement came just before Warren was slated to give a speech in which she is widely expected to announce her bid for the presidency.
It marked the first time that the Trump campaign has issued such a statement blasting an announcement from a Democratic presidential hopeful, after several candidates jumped into the race earlier this year.
Warren, an outspoken critic of Trump and his administration, has maintained a fraught relationship with the president throughout his tenure.
Trump early on latched onto Warren's past claims of Native American ancestry, often questioning those claims and disparagingly referring to her as "Pocahontas."
Warren's claims of Native American heritage has continued to dog her as she has explored a presidential bid.
Warren sought to get ahead of criticism stemming from those claims by releasing the results of a DNA test in October. The results "strong evidence" she had Native American ancestry, likely from an ancestor from between six and 10 generations ago.
Still, the senator was rebuffed by many Native Americans for taking the test, prompting her to apologize. Native Americans scrutinized Warren's decision, expressing concerns about using science and DNA tests to gauge racial and ethnic identity.
“This is our family’s story, and it’s all consistent from that point in time. But as I said, it’s important to note I’m not a tribal citizen and I should have been more mindful of the distinction,” Warren told reporters on Wednesday.
Warren previously apologized to members of the Cherokee Nation for her claims.
It’s almost like every last one of them is living a lie?
“Elizabeth Warren has already been exposed as a fraud by the Native Americans she impersonated and disrespected to advance her professional career, and the people of Massachusetts she deceived to get elected.”
Translation: Indians are (rightly) outraged that Warren co-opted their heritage to gain employment advantages, but a majority of Massachusetts voters are cool with that.
“Democrat, Elizabeth Warren is a fraud, a joke, a low life, a cheat, a lie teller, a piece of human scum & vermin and a very poor excuse for a human being.”
IOW’s Warren is just like Hillary — except she lacks the evil veneer, and so nobody is ‘afraid of her’ withing the Democrat party. Warren will be taken out. The Texas Bar application was a political “head-shot” taken from the liberal enclave of Austin, Tx.
“PDJT’s campaign is right to fight fire with fire by issuing pre-buttals, as do the Regressive ‘RAT Socialists. Sustained incoming political shots to keep their heads down and on defense is a good strategy — make the miscreants respond on your terms and defend their turf.”
absolutely ... always get your retaliation in first ...
Taking advantage of blacks she will find when she stabs them in the back they will retaliate!
I’m surprised she didn’t mention the tar babies in Virginia!
[[It was completely about class warfare and let’s get rid of those evil rich people.]]
Except rich liberals.
Hillary will announce herself again hoping not to laugh like the hyena dog she is!
I knew she would run when a story from a couple days ago claimed she had put herself out of it and wouldn’t be running....
