She’s never been a gambling fan, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren is pushing federal legislation to help deliver a casino to a tribe with a checkered past as she struggles to neutralize her “Pocahontas” problem.

Her bill, introduced in March with fellow Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Edward Markey, would allow the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe to build a $1 billion gaming resort about halfway between Boston and Cape Cod even though a federal court blocked the project in 2016.

If she helps them they will make her an honorary Indian of the heckowie tribe. You remember when they asked how the tribe got its name and he replied they were lost and the medicine man stepped up and sed “where the heck are we”

So these Mashpees moved from OK like Warren did?
Get a DNA test. It will tell us if she’s Apache or Mashpee or whatever. A cotton swab and some spit is all it’ll cost her because her Indian opponent will pay for the test.

There is one and only one way for Elizabeth Warren to cure her problem, and that is with a DNA test.

Uh oh. Warren is going spirit-walking to see if a tribe will adopt her as their long-lost daughter!
