Elizabeth Warren has a decision to make. Either she can admit that she’s not actually Native American, and used anecdotal evidence to support her occupation of a “diversity hire” slot at Harvard Law School, ultimately destroying any claim she might have to being a progressive superstar, or she can double down on her claims and risk being exposed as a fraud.
