'She does seem to have a tremendous talent for self-righteousness and hypocrisy,' Steve Schmidt argued.
"Why is it that Elizabeth Warren checked the box as a Native American on her Harvard Law School application?" Schmidt asked."I know why she checked the box. She checked the box because she was trying to game the system. I know why she said that her kid went to public school, as opposed to private school, because she's trying to game the public," he argued.
"Over and over again she has misrepresented herself, in this sheen of self-righteousness and virtue and hypocrisy," he said, asking if the Democrats"want to nominate, possibly the second candidate in a row that's going to lose an honesty debate to the most prolific liar [Trump]." As Schmidt noted, Warren did list herself as having Native American ancestry when she applied to work at Harvard Law School, however the institution has said this did not have bearing on its decision to hire or promote her. But Warren has drawn significant criticism for repeatedly claiming Native ancestry.
Warren in late November said that her children had attended public schools. The statement was not inaccurate, but one of her two children also attended private school from 5th grade onward. Critics argued that she was misleading voters by simply highlighting the public education of her children, while leaving out the fact that one child had attended private school as well.
