Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren faced scrutiny over her claims of Cherokee ancestry, which were documented in a 1980s cookbook titled "Pow Wow Chow." Warren has been accused of using minority status to advance her academic career at Harvard. During interviews, she repeatedly used the phrase "middle-class families are getting hammered," which is jokingly interpreted as a coded reference to Native American stereotypes.
