President Donald Trump responded to the Cherokee Nation’s rebuke of Elizabeth Warren by offering them his heartfelt thanks.
The Cherokee Nation threw Elizabeth Warren under the bus after she tried to use a skeptical DNA test to claim that she has Native American heritage. The Cherokee Nation’s Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. eviscerated Warren in a statement:
“A DNA test is useless to determine tribal citizenship. Current DNA tests do not even distinguish whether a person’s ancestors were indigenous to North or South America. Sovereign tribal nations set their own legal requirements for citizenship, and while DNA tests can be used to determine lineage, such as paternity to an individual, it is not evidence for tribal affiliation. Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.”
President Trump responded via Twitter to not only take shots at Warren but to also thank the Cherokee Nation.
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!

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!

President Trump wasn’t the only one to put Warren in her place.
If anyone has mocked Native Americans, it’s Warren. She stole their identity & leveraged their suffering to climb the greasy pole of our fake meritocracy. Actual Indians are disgusted. The Cherokee Nation released a statement today calling Warren’s claims “inappropriate & wrong”.

She’s made a mockery of the Cherokee Nation, and of legitimate DNA testing with her claims. Very sad. pic.twitter.com/ke4XWkLPXn

Warren who had been on the attack yesterday trying to get Donald Trump to donate $1 million to the charity of her choice is no longer talking about her Native American “heritage.”
Instead Fauxcahontas is trying to call President Trump a liar. Meanwhile, the facts clearly show that Fauxcahontas is the only one lying.
Millions of people watched you, @realDonaldTrump, as you fumbled and lied on your $1 million pledge. It then took a day for your handlers to tee up this recycled racist name-calling. You’ve lost a step, and in 21 days, you’re going to lose Congress.

She’s also tried to use the old talking point of trying to get President Trump to release her tax returns.

It looks like Senator Warren is not only a fraud, but she likes to beat dead horses too.
