Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has apologized for ever claiming Native American ethnicity, as she competes with a slew of Democrats in the presidential candidate field.
The 69-year-old Democrat responded after the emergence of a State Bar of Texas registration card showing she identified as 'American Indian' on April 18, 1986.
She left the 'National Origin' and 'Physical Handicap if any' parts of the form blank however, possibly supporting the notion of critics like President Donald Trump who have claimed she used the idea of being part of a minority group to advance her career.
I can't go back,' Warren told The Washington Post Tuesday. 'But I am sorry for furthering confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and harm that resulted.'
While other typed up evidence has been presented showing Warren did identify as Native American in various jobs as a law professor, she hadn't confirmed whether she personally used the labels or whether information was filled out on her behalf.
But the unearthing of the yellow card that lists the address of the University of Texas law school in Austin, where she was working at the time, pinpoints that she did.
It's not clear how the labeling benefited Warren if it did.
A small typed note on the card reads: 'The following information is for statistical purposes only and will not be disclosed to any person or organization without the express written consent of the attorney.'
Donald Trump Jr. used the revelation to suggest it was purposely revealed on the same day as the State of the Union in order for it to go under the radar.
'Suspicious timing for this to come out,' he tweeted. 'It’s almost like Elizabeth Warren is trying to hide what I’ve said all along about taking advantage of her fake Native American heritage at the expense of real Native Americans and minorities
