Any doubt that Elizabeth Warren plans to run for President ended Monday when the Massachusetts Senator released a DNA analysis indicating that she probably does have some trace of distant Native American ancestry.
The former Harvard professor went so far as to unveil a website and video featuring an analysis by Stanford professor Carlos Bustamante, who said that while Ms. Warren is mainly European she likely has some Native American ancestry “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.”
This makes her between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American, which barely spares her the humiliation of not having any after she had listed herself as Native American on federal forms filed by Harvard and Penn law schools where she had worked. On the other hand, she also looks silly for making so much of so little. As Americans are learning as the costs of genetic testing fall, nearly all of us have multiple ethnic and racial backgrounds. Ms. Warren tried to make an identity politics virtue of a genetic banality.
Credit on this point goes to Donald Trump, who mocked Ms. Warren’s genetic boast and no doubt prompted her to get the truth out before the 2020 campaign begins. Ms. Warren now says Mr. Trump should make good on his boast to write a $1 million check to charity if Ms. Warren proved she had Native American blood.
Write the check, Donald. You’ll look gracious, and you’ll have an amusing talking point and photograph that will last the entire 2020 campaign.

Some of us wonder about the rest of her DNA
How much was black? Does dhe have a black DNA component?
Perhaps she was barking up the wrong tree all along
Can’t rightly say it’s folly when identity politics secured a prestigious sinecure for her at Harvard that she would otherwise not have gotten. That platform has allowed her to amass millions from connections that she would otherwise not have had, given her entre into circles from which she would otherwise have been debarred, and furnished her with a political megaphone that she otherwise would not have had. Identity politics been “berry, berry goood” to her. When others of kindred ethics see that of course they want in on the scam too.
Wouldn’t a single full-blooded ggg grandparent be one of 256 ggg grandparents? That would be about .4%, much less than the perfesser’s fake claim that she might be as much as 1/64th (1.6%).
What is it with New England? Massachusetts sends the phony Indian Warren to the US Senate. Connecticut sends the stolen valor, phony Vietnam “veteran” Blumenthal to the Senate. The voters in those states knew they were phonies when they elected them. America seems to be rotting where it began.
Warren just showed the absurdity of racial and sexual identity politics that are the hallmark of Democrats. Remember when some Blacks didn’t think Obama was Black enough because he was directly African and not part of “authentic” Black slave roots. The recent female sporting events won by biological males who identify as female and the ludicrous and baffling gender identities that change almost daily have similarly become a laughing stock. One would have to be a mindless liberal or total fool to accept the bizarre race and sexual identity world that is the Democrat party. The Democrats are in meltdown.
1 - ( 1 / 1024) is 0.9990234375 or 99.90234375% not Cherokee.
.097
Actually, two to the fifth power equals 32.
Good morning, class. GOOD MORNING CLASS! CLASS! SHUUUTT UUPPP!!!
Thank you.

Problem is, that the crazies in her state will re-elect her to the Senate, now that’s the sad and sick part.
He owes her nothing. Anyone of us has a mixture of ethnic groups in their background.. She will look petty and small if she asks for a dime.
Although if the amount is recalculated to take into account the percentage of her Native American Heritage, and Trump donates it to a charity... Perhaps a Native American charity? He will look gracious. But not one more penny Mr. President
Right. Trump was not framing the issue as whether she had any Indian ancestry at all, but rather whether she was of "Native American" heritage as she indicated on applications she had submitted in her college years.
Amazing how Massachusetts has so many universities and colleges yet the residents are so ignorant.
LOL! And I am distantly related to Queen Elizabeth and demand a gorgeous mansion and beautiful clothing. ;)
Thanks; The Wall Street Journal can sing for Trump to pay up on a bet he WON. Why do they even bother to go there?? No other problems in the world?
The Cherokee Nation rejects her. $976 would be better spent elsewhere.
Stolen pallor.
The media is misrepresenting the $1000000 bet. He said it it’s a hypothetical. He said that when he was in the debate with Warren if it came down to that then that was what he would do make the million dollar bet. But you notice how the media slices out that part
