Isn’t it delicious that Fauxcahontas, aka Sen. Elizabeth Warren — the liberal Massachusetts Democrat toying with a 2020 presidential run — is refusing to take a DNA test to finally prove whether her self-serving claims of Cherokee heritage are true?
Actually, watching Warren squirm and Chuck Todd all but flagellate himself for having to ask about the DNA test on “Meet the Press” was more than delicious.
It was tasty, kind of like a French omelet with crab meat at a fancy restaurant frequented by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
"I know who I am, and never used it for anything. Never got any benefit from it anywhere,” Warren said, protesting too much.
Oh, no, of course not.
She just claimed Native American status while teaching law at Harvard, and Harvard flaunted it as proof of faculty diversity. It’s all about checking the right racial boxes.
And until she takes that DNA test — or releases the findings to show that she is indeed part Cherokee — it will dog her, like some rogue beast of liberal Democratic identity politics, trotting behind her wherever she goes.
The liberal Democratic Media Complex does not love this story. But Warren’s DNA drama gets to the heart of the thing.
Democrats are thoroughly dominated by the hard left now, and except for bizarre socialist economics drawn from “The Big Rock Candy Mountain,” they’re all about identity politics all the time.
The Democratic Party is hip-deep in the politics of race and gender, and uses these as tools to carve and parcel out power, resources and benefits, relying on skin pigments and chromosomes (or the lack thereof), grievance and victimhood.
Identity politics has been the left’s recipe for years, and watching Warren squirm was just

Frankly I am shocked she is doubling down on this crap.
If she knows who she is, there should be no problem proving it to those who question her claims. She ain’t Rachael dolezal, who is an insane white woman in a black mind.
She would have had this test years ago if she believed her advertising.
DNA can’t get to the tribe level.
Even if you can prove native american heritage, it may not show up in DNA results.
Just a feeling I have.
Hey....pokaheine …. Either ship or get off the pot.
I tend to believe that as well....she’s had the test and it doesn’t lead onto some Indian claim.
What might happen here...you might find someone who is fifty-percent American Indian from the state, who decides to run, and refer to themselves as the authentic Indian. Via social media, they’d clobber her and take most of the youth vote.
If Pocahontas’s grandmother had Cherokee DNA, then that can also be tested with the DNA of all the descendants of that grandmother and all the descendants of that grandmother’s siblings.
If this was Trump & not Warren, the MSM would have hunted down all the descendants and have bribed the $hit out of them for any prior DNA test of theirs or for then to take one immediately.
You are probably correct.
Makes sense to me.
Trust your instincts!
The senator is a liar. Prove me wrong.
Maybe she’s already privately taken the test and wasn’t happy with the results.
Save some hair follicles from the makeup chair the next time she drops by a studio to appear on camera.
lol..perfect description!
Senator Warren has used the scam of racial bonus points to advance her career. That is a shame.
You nailed it. Which makes it safe to continue to pound her with the criticism.
I resent the fact that anyone can claim special rank and privileges based on the country of origin of one’s ancestors. Certain countries endow you with money, college admission, jobs, adoration and adulation. Other countries turn you into a third-class citizen, blamed for all the evils in the world, and given gross disadvantages in college admission and jobs.
Each person is an individual, and responsible solely for his/her actions.
Of course there is. She already had it done on the QT and knows what the results would be.
She probably did and didn’t like the results
