The era of Maury-Povich politics is officially upon us, after President Donald Trump suggested at a rally in Montana last week that Senator Elizabeth Warren be subjected to a DNA test.
“I shouldn’t tell you ’cause I like not to give away secrets… Let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas,” the president said, reviving his favorite racist nickname for the senator. “You know those little kits they sell on television for $2…I’m gonna get one of those little kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims that she’s of Indian heritage, because her mother says she has high cheekbones…we will take that little kit…but we have to do it gently, because we are in the Me Too generation… I will give you $1 million to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian…I have a feeling she will say no.”
Trump isn’t the first to recommend that Warren take such a test. “All the senator needs to do is spit into a tube, wait a few weeks and get her answer,” the Berkshire Eagle’s editorial board wrote in March. But now the president is daring a potential 2020 challenger take a DNA test. Once again, Trump is setting a dangerous precedent.
Shortly after the 2008 presidential election, the New England Journal of Medicine published a perspective titled “The Genetic Privacy of Presidential Candidates,” which warned politicians running for office about a threat it called “genetic McCarthyism.” Because genetic information is so easily misinterpreted and misrepresented, the authors argued, presidential campaigns should resist calls to release candidates’ genomic information and pledge not to attempt to obtain or release the genomic information of their opponents.

That said, she's lying about the Cherokee ancestry. But Pocahontas was a Powhatan Indian, and Warren isn't claiming Powhatan ancestry...so Trump isn't being quite fair.
But mendacious lowlifes like Liz Warren don't deserve fairness.
Lizzie Lies and fraudulently gets a $300,000 Teaching Job saying she is part Injun and it’s all Trump’s fault because she is finally called on it.
LOL
That's Lizzie's Public Name.
Screeching Gray Beaver is her Familial name.
Now see, Fauxahantas is a demoncrats, so she is allowed to lie about race or any other thing. Let a Republicant make the claims faux has made and she would be taken into custody and a genetic sample taken for analysis.
McCarthy was right. America suffered for the denial.
Sheesh. The biatch claims she is an Indian and profits mightily. Why not make her prove it?
McCarthyism was about getting at the truth.
Getting DNA analysis of Elizabeth Warren’s American Indian heritage, is also about getting at the truth.
The Daily Beast has no idea about how their analogy is so spot on regarding the search for the truth on Elizabeth Warren.
I doubt Obama is black. Now that would be interesting DNA.
Prove it...
"That's McCarthyism."
Lol, yes... ‘Journalism’. If they did some real reporting they would know for us Native Americans, we go by the recorded rolls. She would need to find an ancestor listed on the rolls, and I’ve heard Cherokee researchers determined she has no relatives on the rolls.
So DNA results or not, she already looks a fraud. Her story about her grandpa having ‘high cheek bones’ making him ‘Native American’.... isn’t that the generalizing type of thing libs call racist/stereotyping?
Trump is not an idiot who would throw away a million dollars to this harridan so she could donate to Planned Parent Hood or some anti border group. He already knows the results. She has left her DNA al over congress; a cup in the cafeteria, some left over food, a strand of hair on her seat. Not hard for someone to pick it up and run the test, which I’m sure has been done. You can bet she’s had the test done herself as well.
The Mueller witch hunt is the continuation of the congenital urge for Stalin-style show trials by the Demagogic Party. Thanks EdnaMode.
The left keeps the word going with the help of our own people. Joe was right, but since when does truth matter?
The danger is she might have some Indian blood. Don’t we all?
My wife is Cherokee and takes offense to yet another Dutch white racist claiming to be Cherokee to rob the Cherokee’s of a position at Harvard.
