Scott Brown Denies Making Remark About Elizabeth Warren's Ethnicity (seriously...not the Onion) [View all]

Got that people? The Romney/Republican ideal: say whatever horrible thing you want then lie about it. Scott Brown is a stain that should be removed.

Scott Brown Denies Making Remark About Elizabeth Warren's Ethnicity

During the first Massachusetts Senate debate between Sen. Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, the incumbent Brown said to the audience that, "Professor Warren claimed that she was a Native American, a person of color, and as you can see, she's not."

Earlier this summer, the Brown campaign repeatedly attacked Warren, a Harvard professor, for being listed as Native American in a university directory. But whatever Warren's ancestry, Boston reporters and others expressed surprise that Brown claimed to discern a person's lineage just by looking at her.

Yet when asked about his Native American-detection abilities at a press conference Tuesday, Brown denied ever having made the statement about Warren. Watch the video above and decide for yourself.
