Scott Brown keeps hammering Elizabeth Warren’s Native American claim. And I mean hammering. Here’s the thing. Yeah, it’s embarrassing, but is that really all he’s got? He brings it up constantly, and I’m not sure why. Is there a large Native American vote he’s wooing? 😉 Seems to me this line of attack isn’t going to change many votes, and yet it’s almost all you hear about when Scott Brown speaks. Sure, take the shot, toss it in occasionally, but building your entire campaign around it? I just don’t get it.
Brown is obviously very offended by Warren’s Native American claim, but then his campaign goes and does this:
Staffers for Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) reportedly participated in war-whoop sounds and “tomahawk chop” gestures at supporters of Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, mocking Warren’s claimed Native American ancestry.
The incident occurred this past Saturday in Boston, at a rally for Brown featuring former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, and at which a group of Warren supporters also showed up with signs. The video was posted Tuesday by the state liberal blog Blue Mass Group.
Now that’s offensive!
When asked about the incident, Scott Brown responds:
“It is certainly something that I don’t condone,” Brown himself told the station. “The real offense is that (Warren) said she was white and then checked the box saying she is Native American, and then she changed her profile in the law directory once she made her tenure.”
Seriously, why is Scott Brown using this issue to completely define his campaign. He can’t even “not condone” without adding… BUT, you know what’s more offensive than my staff!
It’s all you hear about when you hear about Scott Brown. Look, I get taking advantage of an opponent’s error, but Scott Brown’s entire campaign seems to center on this one issue. Why?
