Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., argued that her family’s claim to Native American ancestry is an indelible part of who she is — something that can never be taken away.
Warren defended herself on NBC’s “Meet the Press with Chuck Todd” Sunday morning when asked what she thought about taking an easily accessible DNA test, such as those offered by 23andMe or Ancestry, to settle the ongoing controversy over her heritage.
Rather than address that question specifically, Warren told a story about how her mother and father, born and raised in Oklahoma, met as teenagers and fell head-over-heels in love. Her father’s family was bitterly opposed to their relationship, she said, because her mother was part Native American, but the couple eloped and persevered.
“That’s the story that my brothers and I all learned from our Mom and our Dad, from our grandparents and all of our aunts and uncles. It’s a part of me, and nobody is going to take that part of me away — not ever,” Warren said.

If shes right a dna test vanquishes her throng of critics.
Well, they have to keep the lies going for their Low-Information Voters.
Worked for Barack Hussein Manchurian Candidate Obama and seemed to be working for Crooked Hillary.
At least she doesn't pull an Obama and just fake it.
Yes it does. For about $99 she blows them outta the water.
Wonder why she won’t take the test? it’s almost as if...
Warren/Sanders 2020?
******************
Slinging Bull and Fauxcahontas.
Of course, she could be lying and has already taken a test.
She lets it build and then out comes the test. If so, my guess is she’s less than 25%. 12.5% at most and more likely 6.25% or 3.125%.
If at all.
Free wampum!!
That Chuck Todd was pressing her about the DNA test tells me some other Dem faction wants to take Warren out of contention for 2020 as a Presidential candidate. Probably Hillary “It’s Still My Turn - Dammit” Clinton.
Pocahontas fears the DNA test because she knows it will destroy her credibility. And possibly expose her to law suits for taking advantage of something she doesn’t have.
Crazy Squaw already takum test in private teepee.
She no Cherokee, she white-eye.
My guess is 0.00%
She ought to just say “It looks as if I was mistaken about my Indian heritage, sorry about that,” and let it blow over. But no, she’s going to hunker down and keep it alive as an issue for as many years as she wants to stay in politics. So in addition to not being an Indian, she’s obviously an ass.
I’d like to see every last white kid check the ‘Native American’ box on college and employment applications. And have a good story ready: “When I was a little kid, my great uncle told me that my great-grandfather was part Cherokee.”
Then sit back and collect minority set-asides and scholarships. How could they stop you from doing that?
Probably so. That’s my guess.
It could be a set-up.
She’s still a commie DemocRAT, either way.
I wonder if it’s a setup because surely (Shirley?) she can’t see how bad this makes her look. You just know she and ChuNck Todd had the questions all worked out beforehand.
Now, her story is that her mother was part Native American.
Previously, she claimed that, when she was around age 9, her grandmother told her she had high cheekbones. She took that to indicate she was of Native American descent.
This mommy and daddy story sounds too much like a new lie to cover for the previous lie. If her mother from Oklahoma were half NA, her mother would likely be in the tribal rolls. So far, she has not produced that kind of evidence.
Bitterly clinging to a lie. Probably already had the test done secretly.
I have some. But I don’t think I have enough.
Guess I should check. I hate the idea of giving front-companies access to such.
But then, I wear a tinfoil hat.
I did some family history 5 years ago and about 3 sides had sagas of Indian blood. I doubt any were true. I decided all families have Indian blood stories and ancestors married to cousins.
Maybe Liz’s mom had an affair with a John Redcorn and doesn’t want the truth coming out. < /KingOfTheHill >
