The issue is not whether her ancestry is cherokee. The issue is that Warren gamed the system to get special rights based on unproven heritage that even if true amounts to 1/32 or less Cherokee blood.

This DNA study proves nothing. I know because I am 1/32 cherokee and have taken DNA tests. The cherokee blood is so watered down and the amount passed down from generation to generation varies ... so DNA tests are inconclusive.

All a DNA test can do in Warren’s situation is connect her with other distant cousins. So the question I would have is whether she has matched with other KNOWN cherokee descendants. If she hasn’t she has nothing.

Having said all that my guess is her family stories ARE correct and she has some modest amount of cherokee blood. Why do I say that? Because back then people were ashamed of cherokee blood and would not admit it if they could avoid it. Still — how does one claim special rights based on 1/32 or less minority blood. It’s absurd.

All that’s presuming the Stanford cat isn’t in on her scam

After Obama’s, Feinstein-Ford I’ll bet he’s in on it

I mean, the guy dismissed obtaining Cherokee comparisons, which is ridiculous.

That aspect of the “ testing” isn’t getting enough scrutiny
