Democratic presidential candidate
Elizabeth Warren met privately with Native
American tribal leaders Sunday and offered no new apology for the DNA test she took to counter President Donald Trump's taunts about her claim to American Indian heritage, according to a meeting participant.
Trump had long mocked the Massachusetts senator for her ancestral claims and repeatedly referred to her as "Pocahontas," a racial slur he still employs.
The Cherokee Nation complained that Warren was "undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage,” and in August, Warren offered a public apology at a forum on Native American issues, directly addressing an issue that had proved to be a political liability.
