Senator Elizabeth Warren told CNN: "I am not running for president in 2020." In perhaps related news, Warren has declined to take a DNA test to establish once and for all how much -- if any -- Native American blood she has in her.
Acosta also asked if she gets upset when President Donald Trump refers to her as "Pocahontas."
"It's about my family's story. Because my family's story is deeply a part of me and a part of my brothers," Warren said. "It's what we learned from our parents. It's what we learned from our grandparents. It's what we learned from our aunts and uncles.
"I went to speak to Native American tribal leaders and I made a promise to them that every time President Trump wants to try to throw out some kind of racial slur, he wants to attack me, I'm going to use it as a chance to lift up their stories," she added.
The left loves science -- as long as it serves their political purposes. Otherwise, not so much.
Warren doesn't want to find out how much Native American ancestry she has because no matter what the percentage is, it won't be enough for most people. Besides, for the left, the issue isn't DNA. In an age when you can claim you're any sex you want, you can also call yourself black even if you're white and Native American even if it's based on family legends.
Her explanation for not taking the DNA test is dishonest.
“I know who I am. And never used it for anything. Never got any benefit from it anywhere,” Warren said of her ancestry on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The Massachusetts Democrat has been under increased pressure to provide evidence of her Native American roots, with President Trump repeatedly mocking her as “Pocahontas” as recently as Saturday.
An editorial this month in Massachusetts’s Berkshire Eagle urged Warren to buy a DNA test for $99 to resolve the issue once and for all.
“All the senator needs to do is spit into a tube, wait a few weeks and get her answer,” the paper said.
Asked whether she’d take an ancestry test, Warren said she wants to hold onto the folklore of her parents’ love story.
“My mother and daddy were born and raised in Oklahoma,” Warren said. “My daddy first saw my mother when they were both teenagers. He fell in love with this tall, quiet girl who played the piano. Head over heels. But his family was bitterly opposed to their relationship because she was part Native American. They eventually eloped.”
How nice. But the claim she makes about never using it for anything and not getting any benefits is belied by the fact that at both Pennsylvania University and Harvard, she told administrators she had Native American ancestors.
Give her a Lie Detector Test and find out if she is telling the truth on both matters.
Squaw finally makum sense.
“Warren said she wants to hold onto the folklore of her parents’ love story...”
Meaning she knows it’s bunk and she’d have to stop repeating it if she took a test that would disprove it.
Dont know about OK or even AZ since I dont pay much attention to that here. But in MI, you have to show proof of belonging to a tribe-they called it an Indian card, to get a license in that state. Then, you get a plate which describes your particular band of that tribe if you want.
“True or False? American Indians don’t pay taxes,” asks the American Indian College Fund. “American Indians pay federal taxes on their income and capital gains, just as any other American does.” The college fund site adds: “American Indians do not pay taxes on moneys earned from their land allotments, since those lease fees are from the government and were negotiated as part of a treaty. While earning money on the reservation, American Indians also do not pay state, corporate, or state license fees for income or enterprises on the reservations due to the sovereign status of the reservation. While earning money off the reservation, however, American Indians are subject to state income, corporate, and licensing taxes.”
She’d have tremendous backing if she ran. Whatever skeletons are in her closet must be pretty severe. Her hesitation can’t all be caused by the native american lie.
“Warren doesn’t want to find out how much Native American ancestry she has because no matter what the percentage is, it won’t be enough for most people.”
0% will definitely not be enough for anyone lol.
I’m thinking the Dem nominee will turn out to be Kamala Harris. No white candidate will be allowed to say anything negative about Kamala.
“Native America” (not “Native American”) was (and may still be) an advertising slogan used by the State of Oklahoma. That’s the origin of the “Native America” line at the bottom of the license plate you show. Every plate issued of that design had it. It isn’t making any claims as to ancestry of the licensee.
Yeah, also deeply disappointed we’re not going to have Pocohontas to make fun of in 2020.
She’s the first Dem to get KAGed! “Keep America Great”
Two Indians sitting on rocks at the sea shore Mermaid swims up one Indian say to other HOW ?
Still she desisted. Too bad... it was going to be fun grinding her up. Luckily, the dems have 20 more lunatics to choose from
Who needs Republicans and Democrats when we can be treated to the country’s first 23 and Me third party presidential candidate.
Follow her around and collect her Cigarette Butts
She isn’t running. Isn’t. But she will be. This language parsing is necessary to get re-elected as a senator, after which she’ll feel free to screw her constituents and bail on the job.
Ug !
Squaw speak with forked tongue.
She has already taken the test. No one in that position wouldn’t have done that years ago.
While this is a new issue to a lot of people this has been going on in MA for years.
She is a tool. I wish she would just stop.
She’s a fake, and an Indian (American) genealogist knows it: http://www.pollysgranddaughter.com/p/elizabeth-warren-information.html
Money quote:
“Elizabeth Warren is a candidate for the U.S. Senate from the state of Massachusetts. She claims she is of Cherokee descent. She has come under fire for possibly using that claim to give her career a boost at a time when Harvard Law was under pressure to hire more minority professors. We have done extensive research on her ancestry and on the stories she has told trying to back up her claim. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest she actually had a Cherokee or American Indian ancestor. Despite repeated requests for her to release her personnel records from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, she refuses to do so.”

She claims to have Indian blood through her mother so that side of her family is shown here. All were always found in all records as white. They were never found in any Cherokee records or listed as Indian. The Trail of Tears was in 1838-39.

Diversifying these arenas, in part by adding qualified women of color to their ranks, remains important for many reaons. For one, there are scant women of color as role models. In my three years at Stanford Law School, there were no professors who were women of color. Harvard Law School hired its first woman of color, Elizabeth Warren, in 1995.” “
