Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) defended her decision to release DNA test results in an interview with The Boston Globe Tuesday, explaining that both President Trump and the opponents vying for her Senate seat in the midterm elections "have made the same attack."
Warren has come under fire for her decision to share DNA test results that a researcher said “strongly support” her having a Native American ancestor.
The move has been seen as an effort to respond to critics, primarily Trump, who have repeatedly claimed that she fabricated her heritage.
“I have an election,” Warren said. “Donald Trump goes in front of crowds multiple times a week to attack me. Both of my opponents have made the same attack. I got this analysis back, and I made it public.”
Trump took the Twitter to criticize the senator, saying she "took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, 'DNA test is useless.' Even they don’t want her. Phony!"
The Cherokee Nation also released a statement Monday criticizing those touting DNA tests as proof of Native American heritage.
“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” said Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven.”
Warren said that she agrees with the tribe's criticism.
“There’s a distinction between citizenship and ancestry. I wish I had been more mindful of that distinction. The tribes and only the tribes determine citizenship,” said Warren told the Globe. “It’s their right as a matter of sovereignty, and they exercise that in the ways they choose to exercise it. I respect that distinction.”
In response to comments about the timing of her release being so close to the midterms, Warren explained that she made the results public as soon as they were available.
“I know what it is, and I’m not going to hide it,” said Warren. “How do you sit here if you know what it is, and people ask, and you don’t give an answer? I don’t know how to do that and I don’t want to do that.”
Hope the people send her packing......but they won’t
So, Trump made you take a test to prove that you are even whiter than previously thought.
Keep digging that hole, Liz.
Strongly support the contention that somewhere, someplace an injun passed by where she drove by sometime on her way to work as wuhmun of color at hahvahad. For diversity sake of course. But her buddies are all in on supporting her. Still. That’s one thing about the majority of deviocrats. They stick like glue.
Warren is a very unimpressive person.
So, does this mean that you will support Pres. Trump on building the Wall?
The Cherokee nation slammed the door on her ever making a claim to injunhood again.
And you FELL FOR IT, you Dumbass
Tells us so much about your lack of judgment
Not to mention your just overall fraudulent, racist, immature character
“I know what it is, and I’m not going to hide it,”

But are you going to apologize for using your non-existent Native American status to get jobs in academia?
Are you going to ask that those organizations correct the materials that identify you as a Native American and laughingly as a woman of color?
liz warren, proving once again democrat’s creed; the more corrupt, proven liars liberals are, the farther they get ahead.
How can a famous Harvard Law School professor sound so stooopid all the time? Oh, right, maybe because she is an Affirmative Action hire who really is stooopid??
STOP LYING & APOLOGIZE WHITE PRIVILEGE LADY...
“Better to keep um mouth shut than open pipe and remove all doubt.”
- Old Cherokee saying
How did that work out for you, Pocahonky?
Still no comment/reasoning from her on why she changed her ethnicity in her 30’s?
She’s in the bargaining stage.
It’s OK... In her little fantasy bubble world she can believe in what she isn’t if she wants. Reality doesn’t count in fantasy bubble worlds. Maybe she should be awarded a token medal for her participation and best efforts for fantasizing even though reality is she will probably loose because of her own fantasy bubble. lol
