Sen. Scott Brown is not letting up on Elizabeth Warren’s Native American heritage controversy, saying his opponent in the Massachusetts Senate race has failed a test “about truthfulness and credibility and honesty” in an interview on “Fox & Friends” Thursday morning.
Brown raised the issue in response to attacks by Warren that Brown has been working behind the scenes to weaken financial reform — efforts revealed in emails between his office and Treasury and reported by the Boston Globe last month.
Brown deflected Warren’s attacks. “When you are running for high elective office, especially high elective office, you have to pass a test, and it is about truthfulness and credibility and honesty and quite frankly she’s failed that test as evidence by her claiming to be a Native American and checking the box and making misrepresentations to not only Harvard but Penn.” Brown said Warren has proved herself dishonest. “It is no different here. She can rewrite her own history but she can’t rewrite mine. It’s very clear that I was the deciding vote and proud to be so… As I said, she’s failed that test.”
Warren addressed her heritage Thursday morning on MSNBC. The fact that Brown continues to bring it up, she said, demonstrates that he doesn’t want to talk about the issues.
