Identity politics? If she thinks she's a Cherokee, she's a Cherokee. That's that. Everyone knows chilled crab omelet is a traditional Cherokee dish. And she has a tribal look. Maybe she's descended from the Norsemen who may have reached the red river valley. If they did, I'm sure they left genes for Elizabeth.

She doesn’t have to, any more than Trump has to show his tax return. But there are political ramifications, as there were for trump.

The odds are a bazillion to one that she hasn’t already taken a DNA test under another name and failed. If she was confident about her heritage, she would have taken and announced those results a long time ago. To me, this is absolute confirmation that she’s a liar and a phony. There is no way she would be offered as a Democrat Presidential candidate for 2020 if she refuses the test. If she did agree to a test, I would surely want to follow that sample from its taking to its reporting.

The issue, to me, has never been whether Warren thinks she has some Indian ancestry in her background. A lot of Americans have “family lore” that one of their great, great, great grandparents was an Indian. Sometimes its true and sometimes its false. The issue is that Warren used it to get ahead. She was the Indian on the Harvard staff. Whether or not she is 1/32nd Indian, her self-identifying as an Indian is ridiculous. She is as white as a sheet. There is absolutely nothing in her personal history that suggests that she lived as an Indian or was part of an Indian culture.

Wouldn’t this be the time to bring some fake ‘chief’ from a fake Indian tribe and campaign for the squaw in the public? Like using some wrestling-like PR....then bring up ‘Two-feathers’ and ‘Angry-Wind’ to voice criticism against the fake chief and Warren.

She just claimed Native American status while teaching law at Harvard, and Harvard flaunted it as proof of faculty diversity.

A Boston Globe profile of the Democratic candidate’s teaching career noted that her “law degree from Rutgers University made her the only tenured Harvard Law School professor trained at an American public law school.

DNA won’t always show American Indian ancestry. It’s results are not accepted by most tribes as proof. Some times it’s right/Some times it’s wrong.

That will happen when we see Barry Hussein Soeotor’s Birth Cert.

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribes,

so proud to live, so proud to

Hey, liberals don’t need no stinkin’ proof! Besides, they are allowed to lie.

I assume she has already taken the test and has received negative results. Thus her refusal to “take” the test.

[Hurricane]

My guess is that someone already has done her DNA. Doesn’t have to be her. Perhaps a hair or some other trace she unknowingly left. She cant agree to take the test, it will destroy her politically.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

It doesn’t matter, she “wanted” to be an Indian ... so that’s what counts, not silly DNA. (Hmmm, I wanted to be a cowboy...)

[Dagnabitt]

She’s trans-tribal. Shut up and celebrate her!
