RNC: Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren ‘out of touch’ and a ‘fraud’

The Republican National Committee on Monday labeled Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mass., a “fraud” after she announced she’s headed toward a 2020 presidential bid.

“Senator Warren couldn’t be more out of touch,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement. “With her lack of support from voters — including in her home state — on top of her phony claim to minority status, now that she is formally running Americans will see her for what she is: another extreme far-left obstructionist and a total fraud.”

Warren announced Monday morning that she took the first steps in jumping into the race for president in 2020. In the announcement video, Warren said that she launched an exploratory committee for a White House bid, which allows her to raise money without formally declaring.

Before entering the Senate, Warren in the 1980s claimed minority status in law school professorship applications, citing what she called her Native American ancestry.

In October, Warren released the results of a DNA test after repeated taunts by President Trump and others over the issue.

The results revealed that Warren could be as little as 1/1024th American Indian, meaning that she could potentially have less aboriginal heritage than the average European American.
