Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has apologized to the Cherokee Nation for publicly releasing the results of her DNA test in an attempt to substantiate her claim to Native American ancestry ahead of a 2020 presidential run.
Warren called Bill John Baker, the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, on Thursday afternoon to apologize for advertising her DNA test in response to President Trump’s mockingly labeling her “Pocahontas” and questioning the validity of her claim.
“I understand that she apologized for causing confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and the harm that has resulted,” Cherokee Nation spokeswoman Julie Hubbard said. “The chief and secretary of state appreciate that she has reaffirmed that she is not a Cherokee Nation citizen or a citizen of any tribal nation.”
Warren’s apology, first reported by The Intercept, comes after a number of tribal leaders and liberal activists chastised her in October for appearing to use her claim to tribal identity to further her political career.
Cherokee Nation secretary of state Chuck Hoskin, in particular, condemned Warren’s actions in a column published in the Tulsa World, in which he argued that tribal identity transcends mere biology. 7
“This concept of family is key to understanding why citizenship matters,” Hoskin wrote. “That is why it offends us when some of our national leaders seek to ascribe inappropriately membership or citizenship to themselves. They would be welcome to our table as friends, but claiming to be family to gain a spot at the table is unwelcome.”
In the face of such criticisms, Warren initially defended her decision to release the DNA test, which was accompanied by a promotional video featuring her family members.
“I put it out there. It’s on the internet for anybody to see,” Warren said of the test, which indicated she had a Native American ancestor six to ten generations ago. “People can make of it what they will. I’m going to continue fighting on the issues that brought me to Washington.”
But...but....my relatives told me that it was true. Ever heard of research dimwit?
Lol. ...
A slut, spartacus and a fake Indian walk into a bar.....
They meet the Commie AOC thar. ....
Harris was there, mattress full of hot air.....
.....
Dang this is going to be lots of fun this year....
and it was screeched 5 times an hour on every station in the US for months.
So Trump is on the mark to call Warren Pocahontas.
has she apologized for acing out a REAL Injun for her cush job at Harvard by pretending to be a fake Injun?
Come-on-all Harris, Faux-Ka-Hauntus, and Spart-I-Ass: Too bad the damnicrats couldn’t have a three way ticket.
Now let her apologize to the rest of us for subjecting us to her shrill scolding.
Millions of Moose have been disappointed, due to their plan to follow suit and claim Native American blood too.
Beavers did not respond to calls seeking comment
First nation's residents couldn't stop laughing when contacted
The Democrat party has never been so proud.
One chief who asked not to have his name revealed stated, "One small step backward for pale-face woman. One giant sentient leap for Native Americans."
I highly doubt ANYBODY she gives an interview will ever ask her about her trists, anymore than they asked Obama for his school records or BC, or communist upbringing, nor anything about his Muslim faith, or his connections to terrorists Ayers and Van Dorn.
“So, she didn’t apologize for appropriating Native American culture in order to get advantages in school admission, etc. She apologized for making the results that showed she is completely white public.”
Exactly. Being a RAT means never having say you’re sorry for the actual offense you committed.
“Oh, and that 1/1024 native South American that the test supposedly revealed?”
The test showed she was anywhere between 1/256 and 1/1024 of whatever sample population was used in the private lab she contracted to do the test. I will bet she also tried the commercial tests like “Ancestry DNA” and “23 and Me”. Those tests probably came back as UNDETECTABLE, which is why she released the private test result.
