Geoff Diehl on Civil Rights

 

 


Elizabeth Warren wrongfully claimed a minority appointment

Representative Geoff Diehl, candidate for US Senate, reacted to Senator Elizabeth Warren's speech to the National Congress for American Indians: "Senator Warren has had decades to address her so-called claims of American Indian heritage. Why now?" questioned Diehl. "This is another media stunt by Warren to gain national exposure for her presidential run. It doesn't excuse her for wrongfully claiming a minority appointment. Her words today of caring don't seem to match her actions of the past."
