Leftists responded with rage and anger after Cherokee Nation came out on Monday to criticize Elizabeth Warren for "undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."
Warren earlier in the day released the results of a DNA test conducted at "a private lab in Georgia" which said she might possibly be anywhere from 1/64th to 1/1,024th Native American (which means she may have less Native American DNA than the average white American).
"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong," Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. said in a statement. "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."

Speaking of which...where is Cher in all of this?
I love the Cherokee Nation! I wonder if they have a Facebook page.
What they (Native Americans) obviously missed is that while it may be "cultural appropriation" for me to say today is Taco Tuesday or to say there's actually a handful of rap/hip-hop songs I like... It is perfectly fine, in fact encouraging of diversity, for scum like Lizzy there to try to use Native Americans and their culture for her own selfish political gain.
I side 100% with the Cherokee Nation on this. It is up to them to determine who part of their culture and who is not. Of course the leftists would be at odds with this. They want to be able to dictate by fiat who is part of what group - and they are all about labeling people. They want to let illegals into the US and arbitrarily give them rights. They want to claim membership in groups in order to gain some perceived insight. BS.
Personally, several family members have had the DNA tests. To paraphrase Alan Jackson (and appropriate a little southern culture) I know "where I come from" and while it might not be all cornbread and chicken as Mr. Jackson sings, I consider myself 100% American.
Good one!
I didn’t hear those “leftists” attacking blacks because Rachael Dolzel (sp?)was proven to be white?
If it wasn’t for double standards, the left would have no standards at all.
Some Irish have high cheek bones. Melania Trump has high cheek bones. Lizzie is dizzy.
Lol! I'm about 1/16th Cherokee. My father was from Tennessee, near the Smokey Mountains. You could tell by looking at his father that he had Indian in him.
Hey if they pick off everybody who thinks he’s part Cherokee I reckon they’re in trouble.
Just like obama.
Nailed it. The most accurate, concise summation of today's socialist/leftist/fascist.
I suspect that nearly EVERY AMERICAN (and lets face it, my ancestors have been here for well over 200 years, so I guess I could be considered a NATIVE American) has as much Indian blood in them as Ms Warren, especially if the family has been here a long time. And meanwhile, the guy at Stanford didnt use Indian DNA to compare. He used Central American DNA and some DNA from South of there. WHAT A PHONY REPORT!! Im reminded of Ms Fords polygraph claims..............
I once measured Bill Clintons mendacity using a slide rule. I am still in recovery.
Yes, Yes, But how is the slide rule?
They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
“Pocahonky”
Love it! And since all Lieawatha accomplished with this DNA test was prove that she is even whiter than the average `European’ American, that’s the perfect moniker
Piss off that is.
LOL!

"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 dont 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!

Since she claims indian privileges for such a low possibility, then blacks have “white privilege” because they, too, have some small white DNA in them.
