It’s been two years since I broke the story that Harvard University identified Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a minority — citing her alleged Native American roots — but we’re still in the dark.

We’ve had two years of Warren’s simplistic answers that aren’t really answers. Two years of Warren insisting she’s proud of her heritage while dismissing questions about it. And two years of her refusal to open up records that could prove whether she used that heritage claim in Ivy League applications.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus used yesterday’s anniversary to call on Warren — whose book tour has heightened presidential speculation — to at least release docs connected to Harvard.

“With Elizabeth Warren challenging Hillary Clinton for the liberal mantle of the Democrat Party, we’re calling on Warren to release her full employment records from Harvard University,” Priebus said in a statement. “Warren’s stonewalling of the media has left more questions than answers, and the only way to put this issue to rest once and for all is by finally releasing her personnel records. Americans deserve to know if Warren claimed that she was 1/32nd Cherokee Indian in order to gain minority status so she could get a teaching position at Harvard University.”

But Warren never claimed she was “1/32nd” Cherokee — she just claimed Cherokee and Delaware heritage, and listed herself as a minority in her profession’s premier directory. The New England Historical Genealogical Society claimed Warren was 1/32nd Cherokee, then said it had no proof of her heritage.

Priebus’ mistake highlights one of the most insidious issues surrounding Warren’s heritage controversy — one Warren has taken advantage of to dodge direct questions. Facts and issues have been misrepresented on both sides. In Warren’s retelling the tale, a small, sedate media scrum where I clearly asked Warren if she ever identified herself as a Native American became a “noisy” press conference where I threw her a “confusing” question.

The RNC’s press release isn’t surprising — Warren already called out big bad Republicans in her autobiography “A Fighting Chance,” saying she was “hurt” and “angry” about the “attacks.”

More importantly, the release shows national Republicans are taking Warren very seriously as a presidential contender. And it shows that Warren’s political and fundraising clout is a double-edged sword that ensures the issue will keep cutting deep until she answers questions with something that can’t be misinterpreted — cold hard facts.
