Elizabeth Warren’s terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day is proceeding nicely.
After being busted last night for claiming to be a member of the “American Indian” race on her Texas State Bar registration card — despite asserting that she’d “never used [her fake ancestry] for anything. Never got any benefits from it anywhere.” — Warren has just admitted that now that she thinks about it, she might have claimed Native American ancestry a bunch of times:
Warren suggests other documents might come out on which she claimed to be Native American.
"This was consistent with what I did" at the time, she says.

You guys:
reporter: Are there any more documents .. forms like this out there that you have listed yourself as that could come out?
Warren: this is who I grew up believing with my brothers, this is our family story, it's all consistent …— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) February 6, 2019
other reporter: Could there be other documents with you self-identifying as American Indian?
Warren: so all I know is during this time period this is consistent with what I did because it was based on my understanding ..— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) February 6, 2019
Just perfect.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) says that her identifying “American Indian” was “consistent” with her actions at the time
"Have you considered dropping out of the race?" a reporter asks.

She’s just so very bad at this.
Didn't she say, not that long ago, that she never officially claimed native American heritage? https://t.co/5nnyWoYa0W

We knew she was inept, but man. We continue to be surprised by just how inept she’s proving herself to be.
The ad is already made.
SCENE: Elizabeth Warren adamantly denying that she ever used her claim to be Native American in a professional capacity.
CUT TO: Documents where she lists herself as Native American.

Update:
Here’s more from the scene of the train wreck:
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren apologizes for calling herself “American Indian”: “There really is an important distinction of tribal citizenship. I am not a member of the tribe and I have apologized for not being more sensitive to that distinction” https://t.co/fLDZs9Xfkw pic.twitter.com/6rS6vVq15S
