CNN’s Henderson Defends Sen. Warren After Radio Show Likens Her to Rachel Dolezal: ‘Really Low Blow’

‘A lot of people claim native ancestry’

EXCERPT:

HENDERSON: "I thought the Rachel Dolezal comparison was a really low blow. I mean, if you remember, this is a woman who painted her skin, darkened her skin and got a perm and passed for black, she was completely white. And Elizabeth Warren, you know, I sort of put it in the context of Elizabeth Warren, she's from Oklahoma, it's a southern state. You grow up in southern states, a lot of people claim Native American history — ancestry, Bill Clinton did, Johnny Depp did as well, Billy Ray Cyrus. That’s what the family lore is. I think this does remind us of an issue that had been dogging Elizabeth Warren. The President obviously has given her that nickname, but this is the answer she’s landed on. This is what she learned growing up. She grew up in Oklahoma."
