Iowa -- Sen. Elizabeth "Dances With Beer-bong" Warren is on the 2020 campaign trail and hopes to be the first female non-Native American Native American president of the United States of America. She spoke to a group of naive supporters and her first question nearly threw her from her painted pinto pony.
CNN reports that the paleface senator "was confronted by a voter in Sioux City on Saturday morning over her controversial decision to use a DNA test to prove her claims to Native American ancestry," and that she was subsequently forced to admit that she is not a "person of color."
"I am not a person of color," Warren told her not-so fawning audience. "I am not a citizen of a tribe. Tribal citizenship is very different from ancestry. Tribes -- and only tribes -- determine tribal citizenship, and I respect that difference."
At that point, Warren pivoted on the balls of her feet and moved to her campaign's latest tactic for creating doubt over concerns regarding her wrongful appropriation of Native American culture and ancestry. Using trusty "what-about-ism" she reminded her audience that Donald Trump frequently makes "racially charged" comments.
"I can't stop Donald Trump from what he's going to do," Warren said. "I can't stop him from hurling racial insults. I don't have any power to do that," she told the audience. "I don't have a magic arrow in my quiver to stop that kind of talk."
Warren then promised to keep her campaign focused on the "issues" except those issues which point to her fibs.
The response echoes an effort her campaign exploratory committee made earlier this week, deflecting concerns about her claims to Native American ancestry by comparing those concerns to "birtherism," or the theory among first Clinton-supporting Democrats and then Republicans that former President Barack Obama was born in Kenya not Hawaii, and was operating under a fake or forged birth certificate. It turns out, he may have been born in Indonesia or Somalia--just kidding.
The exploratory committee's website even implied that questioning Warren's claims of being Native America was itself "racist" to Native Americans in general, in spite of the fact that Warren has used age-old racist stereotypes about Native Americans -- that they have "high cheekbones" -- as "proof" of her lineage, and took part in compiling a cookbook called "Pow Wow Chow," supposedly to honor her family's Cherokee ancestors.

It still sounds like she's avoiding a direct answer to her Native American claim by doing a Cherokee avoidance dance.
Warren also defended her decision to "prove" her Native American ancestry, adding that she just wanted to "put it all out there," even though the DNA test showed Warren was likely only 1/1024 Native American (and even that is an estimate and actually uses a North and South American testing procedure that proves nothing).
The questioner pressed on, asking Warren about how deeply the "helpful" and "transparent" DNA test cut into her campaign, noting that President Trump used Warren's announcement, last week, of forming her exploratory committee, to distract from issues dogging the White House, including immigration and an ongoing government shutdown.

Anyway, the smoke signals are pretty obvious--Warren wants to run in 2020 but she has as much chance at the Democratic nomination as Alexandria Occasionally Coherent has at becoming an economics professor at Harvard.
Well here we are in the beginning of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.
