Cherokee Nation Denounces Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test Claims

While everyone mocks Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test showing that she might be 1/1024th Native American, the Cherokee Nation has taken the results much more seriously, and not because they’re ready to welcome her into the tribe. In an official statement, the tribe said that “a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong.” The statement further accused Warren of making a mockery of DNA tests, and “undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.”

Pocahontas (the bad version), sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren, is getting slammed. She took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, “DNA test is useless.” Even they don’t want her. Phony!

It’s unclear why exactly Warren thought this DNA test would help her cause. Conservative critics accused her of faking her Indian heritage, when it was thought she was only 1/32nd and 1/64th Cherokee, at best. In turn, Warren responded by proving she’s possibly even less Native than we thought. Rachel Dolezal is probably more black than Warren is Native.
President Trump Responds
Trump fired off a number of mocking tweets this morning in response to the test.
Now that her claims of being of Indian heritage have turned out to be a scam and a lie, Elizabeth Warren should apologize for perpetrating this fraud against the American Public. Harvard called her “a person of color” (amazing con), and would not have taken her otherwise!

Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!

Yesterday, when initially asked about the results, Trump said “I hope she’s [Warren] running for president because I think she’d be very easy. I hope that she is running. I do not think she’ll be difficult at all. She’ll destroy the country. She’ll make the country into Venezuela. With that being said, I don’t want to say bad things about her because I hope she would be one of the people that would get through the process. It’s going to be a long process for the Democrats.”
Warren’s History of Lies
Warren’s history of lying about her Native heritage is extensive. The Daily Caller’s Benny Johnson has put together an exhaustive list showing Warren claiming victimhood based on nearly non-existent heritage:
2. After becoming a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Warren demanded the University change her faculty listed ethnicity from “white” to “Native American.”

4. Warren claimed that her mother and father had to elope due to her mom’s obvious Indian heritage and the white bigotry of her father’s family. Here is a photo of Warren’s mom: pic.twitter.com/B2zSHdNkXL

5. Warren submitted multiple recipes for the Indian cookbook “Pow Wow Chow” and signed her name, “Elizabeth Warren – Cherokee” pic.twitter.com/Fr3ECGsUa2

7. Warren has now claimed that she *may* have 1/1024th Indian DNA. This is equally problematic since DNA science proves that the average white American has .18% Indian DNA, far more that Warren’s .098% (lowest estimate according to study) https://t.co/tNwZcdIDeS

9. Warren’s DNA report did not measure actual Native American DNA. The report actually measured Colombian, Mexican and Peruvian DNA. Of which Warren *may* have a tiny, tiny fraction – possibly. pic.twitter.com/SK7LExbawl

Surprisingly, there are liberals coming to Warren’s defense. The Democratic Coalition Scott Dworkin is somehow under the impression that Warren did in fact prove she’s Native. I guess he knows more than the Cherokee Nation does?
Trump owes Senator Elizabeth Warren a public apology. She proved he pathologically lied about her ancestry. And only attacked her because he’s an ignorant sexist racist, who enjoys attacking women and minorities. Using fake facts and false narratives. Trump should resign, today.

Hopefully Warren (and others) keep it up when she inevitably runs in 2020. She’s convinced few others besides herself.
