Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha mocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) Native American heritage claim after Minnesota Democratic Senate nominee Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced she is running as the “first Native American woman” senator if elected to the United States Senate. 

“I mean, Peggy Flanagan, she better break out that old peace pipe and get over to Sen. Warren’s tipi like pronto, and make sure she corrects the record, or Liz Warren may inflict the ultimate punishment and campaign with her down the stretch while saying ‘that’s my kind of girl,’” Concha said on Fox News’s Hannity Thursday.
