CBS Dismisses Elizabeth Warren’s ‘DNA Flap’ as ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning journalists on Monday attempted to downplay Elizabeth Warren’s repeated attempts to pass herself off as a Native American, calling it a “flap” and insisting that many think it’s “much ado about nothing.” Warren appeared at a Native American forum on Monday in Iowa. This is the same woman who tried to be seen as a Cherokee and who contributed to the cookbook Pow Wow Chow. CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe gently reminded, “You’ll remember she faced backlash last year for releasing a DNA test revealing that she has a very small trace of Native American ancestry.”
