Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who famously and without evidence claimed Native American ancestry and thus minority status in her pre-Senate days—and whom Donald Trump still calls “Pocahontas”—now wants badly to put the whole controversy to rest. Who wouldn’t? Our advice would be to ignore the past and pretend it never happened, but Warren is embracing her faux-identity with the enthusiasm of a convert. From CNN.com:
Warren has also signed onto 13 bills directly affecting Native American tribes in the last year and in April introduced a bill that would provide $800 million annually to tribal governments . . . to fight the opioid epidemic.
And her digital team finally solved a two-year-old, Trump-inspired problem: Pocahontas.com no longer goes directly to her campaign homepage.

If the Massachusetts senator decides to run for the presidency in 2020, she’ll have at least one constituency locked up.
