Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-
Mass., was once again reminded that she exaggerated her Native
American ancestry and was heckled during a campaign stop in
Georgia.

While introducing herself to a crowd of about 1,000 supporters
in a Lawrenceville high school, a man shouted “Why did you lie?"
Warren replied back “Be easy, be easy,” while the crowd chanted
her name and clapped.

The man was holding up a campaign sign that read “1/2020” as he
was quickly escorted out of the building. Warren released DNA
results examining her possible Native American ancestry last
year in response to criticism from Republicans and President
Donald Trump.

WARREN SAYS TRUMP 'MAY NOT EVEN BE A FREE PERSON' IN 2020

The test revealed she could be anywhere between 1/64th and
1/1,204th Native American. In early February, she apologized to
the Cherokee Nation for taking the test, which angered some
tribal leaders who felt that being apart of the nation was
rooted in centuries of culture and laws, not through DNA tests.

The incident came just days after Warren suggested President
Trump "may not even be a free person" in 2020.

Warren made the remark at the Veterans Memorial Building in
Cedar Rapids in front of a crowd of several hundred. The
Massachusetts senator argued that Democrats should resist the
urge to respond to "a racist tweet, a hateful tweet, something
really dark and ugly" when choosing whether or not to spar with
Trump.

AMERICAN CLAIMS

“Are we going to let him use those to divide us?” Warren said,
according to a report from the New York Times.

“By the time we get to 2020, Donald Trump may not even be
president,” she continued. “In fact, he may not even be a free
person.”

When asked to clarify her statements, Warren pointed to the
multiple open investigations into the president, which includes
the Russia probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and two
additional investigations led by federal prosecutors in New York
and Democrats who won back the majority in the House of
Representatives this past November.

Warren's comments came after President Trump took a jab at her
on Twitter shortly after she announced her presidential campaign.

"Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as
Pocahontas, joined the race for President," he tweeted. "Will
she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or
has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well
anymore?"
