California Rep. and Democratic Senate candidate Loretta Sanchez said recently she’s “proudly” American Indian on her mother’s side, but declined to back up the claim when questioned repeatedly by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Sanchez got in trouble for tapping her mouth and whooping in reference to Native Americans, while speaking to a group of Indian Americans on the campaign trail Saturday.
