Get the popcorn!
The New York Times is out with a barnburner of a piece on Sen. Elizabeth Warren accounts from anonymous current and former advisers slamming the fake Native American for taking that DNA test:
How damaging was the E Warren/DNA test? Very.
“Several outside advisers are even more worried: They say they believe a plan should be made to repair that damage, possibly including a strong statement of apology.” https://t.co/W2knyXTYeG

One former adviser called her taking of the DNA test a “strategic failure” and called the whole episode “depressing and unforgettable”:
Elizabeth Warren is still trying to clean up the mess she created with that DNA test. So far, it's not working. From NYT: https://t.co/B3g2lQbNth pic.twitter.com/JEIbpw1AuE

Libs are already out in force with criticism of the Times, which they blame for giving weight to Hillary’s email scandal.
It’s giving Neera Tanden, for example, PTSD:
Breaking news: The NYT is giving NYT treatment to a Democratic woman who may run for President. I have pangs of ptsd already. https://t.co/6oD6AmXrMd

I can just see the relentless fixation start now.

Why can’t they just admit that what Hillary did was wrong?
“Sources also tell the NYT that the results of the DNA test were stored on a private server.”

Eric Boehlert thinks there’s “zero news hook” in the “hit piece”;
btw, there’s zero news hook for this hit piece. the DNA test took place two months ago. NYT simply decides to resurrect the issue and note high in the article it matters bc “conservatives” are using it against Warren https://t.co/tzvvFblj6H

And this is just LOL:
This is the type of story that makes progressives move to @washingtonpost — @nytimes is treating a woman running for president the same it did before https://t.co/wSGRQj6g5g

Although at least some libs are being honest about it:
It was a racist stunt that validated eugenics and pseudoscience. If she’s running for president she should’ve known better. Step aside Elizabeth Warren. My unpopular take. https://t.co/qRkrMv2n9I

Anyway, Warren should have addressed this years ago and it’s her own fault that we’re still talking about it today:
This was an incredibly stupid hill for her to die on. When Trump started pushing it, she should have said she wasn't NA, apologized, and moved on. Her insistence that he was wrong only fueled the attacks. That she took it this far not only hurts her tremendously, but helps him. https://t.co/QvRcVrw2i0
