For folks on the right, Elizabeth Warren's proffered "proof" of American Indian ethnicity is both laughable and puzzling. Her proof is nothing of the kind, and she's seemingly reopened herself to merciless mockery by conservatives. On Monday, Tucker Carlson came up with at least a half-dozen silly pseudo-titles for Warren, from the well known fauxcahontas to leader of the #MeSioux movement. But Warren is playing a different game, one to the Democrat base, and using the time-tested Clinton playbook to do it. Whether it still works remains to be seen.
The best Warren's hired expert could do was estimate that she had a single American Indian ancestor six to ten generations back. This is not very good, and she'd be foolish to crow about it. Logically, this means that Trump and her critics were right, and she's a fraud. Warren is about 1.5% American Indian, tops, as are most typical white people in this country. At worst (as she sees it), she's way whiter, well into Aryan Sisterhood territory.
Of course, logic plays no role on the left, and Warren knows it.
First off, she correctly counted on the mainstream media reporting quite favorably on the discovery of her distant ancestor. Contrary to Tucker Carlson's jibes, Lester Holt on NBC reported the development as vindication for Warren, and reporters accosting President Trump put questions to him in the same manner, falsely implying he lost a bet.
Warren has a broader strategy. Perhaps she's attempting to channel the Nez Perce chieftain Joseph, a clever and subtle strategist, who frustrated his enemies again and again until finally announcing that he would "fight no more forever." If so, Warren's doing a bad job. Warren lacks Joseph's honor or subtlety, and at this point, at least, a fight is exactly what she wants.

I thought she was from the Imacommie Tribe...
Has anyone gone to Harvard and ask them how they base their decisions on race. What was it about Warren that made them give her favored status? Was it her high cheekbones? Did she bring in Pow Wow Chow? Or was there something else going on?
Any reporters asking these questions? She effectively stole money from honest native Americans who might have been eligible to teach at Harvard instead of her. That’s a BFD in Slow Joe’s terminology.
not accurate... She had a single South American Indian ancestor six to ten generations back.
Best name now (since she’s whiter than white) is Pocahonky.
Lizzie Warren has a volcanic temper. She will blow like Vesuvius, and soon. Popcorn time.
Warren has claimed that her “her great-great-great-grandmother was Cherokee.” If that were true, she would be 1/32nd Native American.
The DNA test shows that not to be correct.
The problem with the democratic leadership is they are believing their own lies in the echo chamber. She honestly thought this would work.
What is interesting about the whole thing is that I’ve heard that I have some indian blood from somewhere back there. But It would never dawn on me to use that as she has used it.
It would be dishonest. Duh.
She’s a PROVEN FRAUD. I guess she ill be the Dem frontrunner now with these credentials.
Clintonian master plan? Nope, just bat-sh*t crazy.
Whiter than Ivory soap.
“not accurate... She had a single South American Indian ancestor six to ten generations back. “
Oh no... Warren is part Mexican illegal immigrant.

I seriously doubt that Princess Lie-to-Your-Face expected any thing like the load of crap that has hit her and by extension her Leftist handlers. I never knew that getting ridiculed even by the sycophant Goerrelsmedia was a winning strategy.
It has provided a barrel of laughs so I give her credit for that.
This shines a bright light into the corrupt and nefarious world of race and affirmative action and how to profit from it.
“....Goebbelsmedia....”
But what if her grandmother was adopted by the Cherokee...
Such an occurrence would be a big deal and known.
A couple could convert to Judaism and their children would have no Jewish DNA at all, but their Jewishness wouldn’t be in doubt because the circumstances would be known.
