american ancestry in your pedigree. >> that prompted backlash with cherokee's leaders. she spoke with chief bill john baker last week. >> i am sorry that i extended confusion about trial citizenship and trial sovereignty. and for harm caused. >> reporter: since announcing her exploratory campaign on new year's eve, warren has answered dozens of questions from voters. two about this controversy. >> why did you allow donald to engage you on the native american question and get a chuckle every time he says pocahontas? >> reporter: voters in the early states so far showing mixed reactions. >> people make mistakes takes and it was probably unwise of her to take that direction. >> i don't think it matters, but whatever she has, it's more about her policy not her cultural ethnic background. >>. rou, erin, elizabeth warren was asked twice in this gavel are there other documents that could potentially come out? she did not answer the questions. the timing is not good at all. she is supposed to launch her campaign on saturday, instead of the message and the policy point she wants

american heritage repeatedly. you had a citizen of the cherokee nation telling cnn over the weekend that she still needs to make a clearer public apology here. and i just wonder in the polling, in what you have seen and heard, is this still a major issue for her? and is it one that she can overcome? >> i would say a few things. number one, remember. elizabeth warren announced she was forming an exploratory committee in late december. so you had a whole month of this coverage. we could see where the polls are then versus now. we saw warren did not see much of a spike in her percentage of the vote nationwide that democrats said they were willing to vote for her which is very different from kamala harris who saw a jump from the midsingle digits to low double digits. i think you can make a case the negative news coverage surrounding this native american controversy definitely did hurt her. whether it hurts her in the future, we'll have to wait and see. >> two big wild cards. senator bernie sanders, if he runs, and then in the center there and what it means for maybe klobuchar is former vice president joe biden and ho

american ancestry in an official document. in her own handwriting. last week, senator warren apologized to the cherokeeion for priestly taking a dna test in an attempt to prove that she had native american ancestry. the senator telling "the washington post," "i can't go back, but i am sorry for further confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and the harm that resulted." that at least one historian and member of the cherokee nation believes that the senator needs to go further. he said, "i want her to go on national tv. i wanted to do a video like she did to announce her dna results. it just seemed very lacking." so, pete, elizabeth warren has said repeatedly that she never used her native american status -- which is 11,024th, may be -- to get ahead. is this an example of her lying about that? >> pete: it might be. the issue of her misrepresentation was that she used for advantage. it was advantageous to her career path at harvard on the circuit i want to know, was advantageous in the state of texas for her to declare that as opposed to caucasian, say? i never give credit to elizabeth war

american i indian. >> she offered a personal apolo entry to the chief of the cherokee tribe. nt's campaign manager responded to her white house run saying: elizabeth warren has already been exposed as a fraud by the native americans she impersonated and disrespected to advance her professional career and the people of massachusetts she deceived to get elected. that statement goes on to say that the american people will reject her dishonest campaign and socialist ideas. meanwhile, elizabeth warren has gone on to the campaign trail, she's headed up to new hampshire today for her first organizing event of this new campaign, and then she'll be headed on to iowa. so she is off on the 2020 campaign trail trying to put that issue behind her. arthel? arthel: all right, molly, try to go inside and get some heat in there. okay. [laughter] thank you very much, molly. for more, we're going to bring in our panel, capri cafaro is a former ohio senate democratic minority leader and an executive in residence at american university's school of public affairs, chris wilson with senator cruz's c

cherokee nation and that was a bad idea. they have been critical about how she claimed native american citizenship in the past for university. is no front—runner as things stand. harris has had a very good start. she was very articulate when she spoke to people who were potential voters. cory booker is out on the campaign trail in iowa. 0thers voters. cory booker is out on the campaign trail in iowa. others are expected to announce their campaign tomorrow. senators who potentially have a chance of winning that democrat nomination. joe biden is another one to mention. he has not announced whether he will make a run. he could be a leading candidate if he decides to run. at the moment there is no front—runner and that is why we are seeing all these candidates trying to gain attention. let's get some of the day's other news. activist groups outside china are reporting the death of a respected uighur musician in a chinese detention camp. he is believed to have been serving an 8—year sentence. a un panel said last year that more than a million ethnic uighurs, including a number of artists and musicians were being held in detention
