Lindsey Graham 2.0 continues to march on, this time mocking Senator Elizabeth Warren’s feeble attempts to prove Native American ancestry by joking that he’d be willing to take a DNA test himself.
Warren produced test results this week which were quickly shot down as proof of her heritage by anthropologists and actual Native American tribes alike.
In an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Graham imitated Warren’s family stories about her lineage and vowed to take a DNA test to prove the stories to be true.
Graham challenges Warren
“I will take a DNA test,” Graham said. “I’ve been told my grandmother may be part Cherokee Indian. It may be just talk. You will find out in a couple weeks.”
He then noted the very, very low percentage of claimed ancestry in Warren’s test results. Analysis concluded that the Massachusetts Senator may be anywhere between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native, the latter amounting to 0.098%. By comparison, the average European American is 0.18% Native.
“I didn’t really think much about it,” Graham said. “But (Warren) is less than .1 of 1 percent. I think can beat her.”

“I’ll probably be Iranian”
“Come back in a couple of weeks and we’ll take a look, we’ll find out who you really are,” host Steve Doocy said after Graham’s initial DNA test comments.
Lindsey 2.0 then dropped another coy insult: “I’ll probably be Iranian. That’d be, like, terrible,” Graham responded.
The South Carolina Senator clarified that he is referring to Iran’s “bad leaders” and not the country as a whole.
“I’m not in the Ayatollah branch yet,” he said.
Orrin Hatch chimes in
Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah took a swipe at Warren’s test results as well, using a bit of self-deprecating humor about his age.
Hatch posted an image of himself presumably checking out his own DNA results which indicated he was … well … a fossil.

Graham on the warpath
Graham has been on the proverbial warpath ever since the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It was during those hearings that Graham had a true ‘Spartacus’ moment, almost singlehandedly saving President Trump’s nominee from an organized Democrat smear campaign.

He later snapped at a woman who demanded Kavanaugh take a polygraph by asking, “Why don’t we dunk him in water and see if he floats.”
He lashed out at Democrat Senator Bob Menendez by telling him what his party had done to Kavanaugh was “bulls***!”
Graham even dissed some unhinged protesters while smiling and adjusting his tie like a boss.
I WITNESSED BASED LINDSEY GRAHAM IRL
Graham was walking to his car. Protesters followed him screaming that they would remove him from office.
Graham spins around & says: “Well, please move to South Carolina.”
Then looks back at me & smiles.

Whatever they’ve been putting in Lindsey’s Wheaties lately, they need to keep it up. This is the kind of backbone that’s been missing from the Republican Party for the last few decades.
