Talk about a red herring and case of whataboutism. On Monday’s Hardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews tag-teamed with Democratic strategist Steve McMahon and The Washington Post’s Ashley Parker to downplay the fiasco concerning Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren’s razor-thin Native American heritage by invoking President Trump’s tax returns.
But things seemed like they were starting off on the right foot as Matthews noted how statistically small Warren’s Native American ties were (“if 1,000 of her ancestors were sitting in this room right now, all thousand of them, one might be Native American”) and how Warren claimed that she was a Native American while working as a law professor.
