President Obama’s former campaign manager Jim Messina complained Monday that Sen. Elizabeth’s Warren’s DNA results will distract from Democratic midterm campaigning.
Argue the substance all you want, but why 22 days before a crucial election where we MUST win house and senate to save America, why did @SenWarren have to do her announcement now? Why can’t Dems ever stay focused???

Ms. Warren publicly released DNA test results that concluded there was “strong evidence” she had a Native American ancestor tracing back a range of six to 10 generations. If accurate, this would make the Massachusetts senator anywhere from 3 percent to .09 percent Native American.
The test results come as a dramatic pushback against President Trump’s “Pocahontas” insults and arguments that her claims of a Cherokee heritage are false.
Though critics are now pointing to how distant Ms. Warren’s Native American ancestor is on her family tree to prove they were right all along.
