"Daily Show" host Trevor Noah made fun of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) on Tuesday's show for her claims of having Native American ancestry.
Noah examined why President Donald Trump has taken to calling the Democratic senator "Pocahontas."
"When he says Pocahontas, you might be thinking, wait, Trevor, I'm confused. Is Elizabeth Warren Native American? And you see, that's the question. Because for a long time, she said she was," Noah said.
Noah played a variety of news stories talking about the senator's claims to having some Native American ancestry. Warren claimed for a number of years to be part Cherokee based on "family lore."
Noah also mentioned and joked about how the senator contributed to a cookbook called Pow Wow Chow.
"Wow. Okay. If you're contributing recipes to a book called Pow Wow Chow, you better be comfortable in your Native American identity," Noah said.
He explained that, in 2012, an organization examined Warren's ancestry and found no proof of her having Native American ancestors.
"The problem is, in 2012, the New England Historical Genealogical Society looked into it, and they found no proof of Warren having Native American lineage, which is problematic, because she wrote for Pow Wow Chow," Noah said. "I mean that would be like finding out I'm completely white, I have no African blood and yet I wrote the book Snacks for Blacks."

If the popular culture catches on with the idea that Warren is a fake Indian, then her political career will progress no further. She might be able to win re-election, but she’ll go no further because she’ll be a laughing stock.
Oh, the WINNING!
I think we are there
She will always win in Massatwoshitts. At least until a real American Indian comes along.
Trevor Noah is an insufferable Leftist on many issues, but every now and then he gets it right, and nails it with some good wit.
Here are a couple...
raves from fellow faculty members
By John Courtadeon May 15, 2012
Format: PaperbackI've received nothing but rave reviews from my colleagues after whipping up treats from this cookbook in the faculty lounge kitchen. Admirers of Pow Wow Chow may also enjoy Bow Wow Chow, a Indonesian-influenced cookbook from a former professor now in politics.
Diversity Dish
By Joseph E. Toomeyon May 17, 2012
Format: PaperbackI thoroughly enjoy the recipes here. My favorite one is called "Diversity Dish." This was contributed by the world's only confirmed blond-haired, blue-eyed Cherokee who used her tomahawk to dig this up from her Oklahoma archives. You start out with 10 quarts of sanctimony, add in a gallon of hypocrisy, throw in a few fables (I recommend the "Family Lore" brand available in Cambridge), add a pinch of whining (1/32 ounce will work), toss in a paleface poseur and a large measure of insufferability. No integrity required. And there you have it: political career implosion. Great for faculty lounge gatherings and unearned academic advancement.
Just to be technically correct, the name for the leftist wonder woman is Fauxcahontas.
Trump is making it ok to publicly ridicule liberals.
WINNING
Well, She’s no Hillary but Hillary survived and vigorously contended for years, but she proves the point, sociopaths can be popular.
Trever Noah backing up President Trump.
Winning Bigly!!!
The Mediacracy is crumbling.
We prayed. God answers prayer.
May God protect and guide President Trump.
I really liked Trevor’s stuff when he first was recognized over here. And somewhere on youtube is more like a documentary where he talks about his childhood, getting comedy going in Africa, etc. Interesting stuff. “So - comedy really isn’t a thing in Africa. You tell a joke about the president - and its 20 years in prison or they kill you.”
Since he got popular here and he bashes Trump - forget it. I don’t mind jokes about the president, back in the day with Reagan (Johnny Carson, etc.) they were funny. But Trevor didn’t stick to just the jokes.
... finding out I’m completely white, I have no African blood and yet I wrote the book Snacks for Blacks...
Actually, in a sane culture there would be nothing wrong with a white person writing about black food. But our culture started going insane in the 60s and is now so far gone that the very concept of sanity is viewed as white supremacy.
Mr. Noah may soon find himself unemployed.
I don’t watch him but that’s hilarious. Good for him.
It does bug me a little that Trump does not get this joke. Calling her Fauxcahontas is a decent web-type joke, calling her Pocahontas is a little bit crude.
“Well, Shes no Hillary but Hillary survived and vigorously contended for years, but she proves the point, sociopaths can be popular.”
I have been astonished, especially when Bill Clinton and Barak Obama won second terms. By that point it was obvious they were not as advertised, but a majority of people voted for them regardless. Then, Hillary, the most manifestly unqualified candidate in American history, but for some incompetent campaigning, might easily have won the presidency. One would think that Elizabeth Warren, somebody who is obviously not even 1% Indian, would have been laughed off the ballot. Instead, she won.
What did the people who voted for these sub-prime candidates see in them? It has to be more than just free stuff.
Just to be technically correct, the name for the leftist wonder woman is Fauxcahontas.

She also goes by the Lie-a-watha.
“’Wow. Okay. If you’re contributing recipes to a book called Pow Wow Chow, you better be comfortable in your Native American identity,” Noah said.”
No, If you receive a scholarship based on being Native American, you better be able to back it up or it amounts to financial fraud.
