Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has removed sections of her campaign website that had disputed claims about her heritage, including the results of a DNA test that showed she had scant traces of Native American ancestry.
Until Sunday, Warren's website included a video of the Democrat receiving the results of the genetic test, which showed that she had between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American ancestry.
Harvard Law School, where Warren taught before entering politics, referred to Warren as the school's only Native American professor as recently as 1996.
Warren's campaign posted a report of the test results on Oct. 10, 2018, as well as the claim that the analysis provided "'strong evidence' that Elizabeth's DNA 'contains Native American ancestry.
Warren's decision quickly backfired because the test showed she had between 0.1 percent and 1.5 percent Native American ancestry.
According to CNN, Warren has met with Native American leaders, and has apologized in private for over-stating her ancestry claims.
As part of her campaign reset, Warren addressed the scandal during a speech Monday at a Native American forum in Sioux City.
