Not only have they questioned Obama's birth, now Warren needs to conclusively prove her native American roots. Even to the point of her mother and fathers eloping must be proven.
Republicans are patriotic, all Democrats are suspected of harboring ANTIamerican roots. And must prove their worthiness. This promotes a McCarthyism, in that if you dont wear a lapel pin, and spout a particular brand of American Exceptionalism, called my country right or wrong, you will be ripped to shreds. Apologizing, or placing America fairly in the world, is the new treason. Not claiming that GOD intends us to dominate the world, is now disqualification for leadership.
That this misses all Republicans, proves it's intent to cage all Democratic prerogatives. American Exceptionalism, is the new fascism.
