Right Wing Smear Machine Targets Warren

Paul Waldman wrote: ''This is a
process of trial and error: Throw out a hundred fake “scandals” and see
which one captures people’s attention, then hammer it again and again in
the hope it will become all people think of when they think of the
Democrat. If there’s something actually scandalous there, that’s great,
but if there isn’t, that’s okay, too. … Between now and next November,
they’ll float a hundred more stories like this one.''

We saw
it in 1999-2000 with the smears of Gore; we saw it in 2016 with the
smears of Hillary; and we're seeing it now with the smears of Warren.

Right Is Lying about Warren DNA

The Washington Post's fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, gave Three Pinocchios to the claims that Warren's DNA test revealed she has less indigenous American ancestry that the "average American."



Kessler notes that the RNC has muddied the water by inappropriately comparing Warren's test to one done using a 23andMe data base. The RNC pushed the false narrative that Warren's percentage of Native American ancestry was LESS than that of the average American, when in fact, the study found just the opposite.



Kessler reports that "she had 10 times more than the individuals" from the comparison data base Warren's geneticist used in his study. Kessler concluded that Warren's "claim to some Native American heritage is much stronger than most European Americans."
