Or Hillary Clinton insolently claiming she would be the first woman president, thus insulting Barack Obama, who clearly was the first woman president and we all know it.

"My name is Deb Haaland, I'm the Democratic nominee for New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. If elected, I would be the first Native American woman in Congress."

Haaland spoke right before Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), who has claimed Native American heritage in the past. Warren's claims of Cherokee and Delaware Indian heritage became a subject of controversy in 2012 when it was revealed she had no documented proof. The senator said she instead relied on family lore to substantiate her ancestry claims.

Warren's 2012 opponent Sen. Scott Brown (R., Mass.) criticized her for claiming heritage to gain an advantage in her academic career. President Donald Trump often calls Warren "Pocahontas" and has encouraged her to take a DNA test to prove her Native American heritage.

Warren has refused to answer whether she would take the test and instead insists that her family story proves her Native American identity.
