We’re All Native Americans Now: Elizabeth Warren demonstrates the folly of identity politics
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 15, 2018 | The Editors

Posted on 10/16/2018 5:00:10 AM PDT by billorites

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.

I find this extremely rich: DNA wizards have virtually zero indian DNA to use for matches, so what to do ?...they use Mexican & Peruvian DNA instead.

OK....whatever

Fauxcahontas has raised an important issue: When can you claim minority status, as she did for Harvard? Admissions committees from here on need to ask those who claim minority status to prove themselves, and she was very clever to pick a minority for which Indians themselves say there is no specific proof. She's a liar, but a clever one.

Elizabeth Warren must be stupid in addition to being a compulsive liar and a power-hungry leftist. How could she not know that this would make her look even more foolish.

“The voters in those states knew they were phonies when they elected them. “

The voters themselves are phonies.

Did Bill Clinton get this same DNA test done when he stated he “was the first Black president”???

About the same percentage in the DNA??? Well, they could have used Monica’s dress as a sample.....

From some report:

“Trump, with glee, told the rally crowd he looked forward to making Warren “prove” her Native American heritage on the debate stage if the two were to square off.

“I’m going to get one of those little [DNA testing] kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage...,” Trump said. “And we will say, ‘I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.’ “

Trump owes her nothing.

BUT he should give $1m to a tribal charity in the name of 1/1024 Warren, or something else that mocks her. It will troll the left while demonstrating the absurdity of her claim.

Captain Kangaroo sez: "A $976.56 check will cover 1/1024."

President Trump could troll the lunatic liberals by starting a GoFundMe page to pay off warren.

I don’t know about that—Cousin Bess Windsor offered me that mansion first. We’re 19th cousins, you know—our common ancestors (James Butler and Elizabeth Darcy) were born in 1331 and 1332, respectively—which means that only like a billion people are as closely related to the Queen as I am. And that mansion is mine. : )
