Really, Scott Brown? — I've been wondering about this for a few days. Scott Brown has made the ‘controversy’ over Elizabeth Warren's purported Native American heritage a centerpiece of the final lap of the campaign. Indeed, his staffers went so far today as to taunt Warren with “tomahawk chops” mocking her claims.
