Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is ready to show up Sen. Elizabeth Warren, saying Tuesday he plans to take a DNA test to find out whether he has more Native American heritage than she does.
“I’m going to take a DNA test,” Graham told “Fox and Friends” on Tuesday. “I’ve been told my grandmother was part Cherokee Indian. It may all just be talk.”
Graham said he would reveal the results on the show in a couple weeks.
I’m thinking Lindsey is learning a thing or two from The Donald.
Liberal heads are exploding everywhere..
Publication date s/b earlier and it’s not a ‘trunk’. Sorry;(
I have read that in antebellum Virginia having a trace of Indian blood was a mark of distinction, people bragged about their Indian heritage. There was a Mohawk kid in my grammar school (USMC Vietnam) whose father, true to stereotype, was a high-steel worker. We envied him. We may have played cowboys and Indians, but the Indians were the badasses.
Careful Senator. You may find that you’re 1/64th related to Chucky Schumer, Nancy Pees Loosely, or Maxine Waters (through the James Brown wig connection)
He made the comments October 16th, so I’m wondering if there is an update on the results. Will keep looking;)
Silly savage
That’s why it’s so nuts removing Indian names from sports teams. Those names were selected because Indians were seen as having desirable characteristics.
It’s much less of an issue for me what is being done about this, though, since the NFL is dead to me.
This is all truth and how Americans have always viewed Indians, with respect.
And why the PC movement to change sports teams names away from names that mention Indians is ludicrous.
Don’t take the test in Broward County. The results will take forever and they’ll probably be all wrong.
Sen. Graham experienced family tragedies at an early age and raised his younger sister. After losing his buddy McCain, perhaps he is realizing that life is short and maybe finding humor is a form of relief.
None of it should mean a damn thing! There should be no privileges doled out based on having ancestors in what is today a privileged, “protected” group, a completely unconstitutional concept.
However, your percentage of a desired ethnicity will increase every time you take “The Broward DNA Test.”
Actually, my ancestral grandfather, Rev. John Roads, wife and six children were massacred by Indians in August of 1764, in an area called Fort Roads, Tom’s Creek, near Luray in the Virginia territory. Other children were taken hostage or escaped. Brutal and savage event, so I’m not sure why everyone is trying to claim Indian heritage.
Yeah... Casting them aside would be racism..
The left is nothing more then a bunch of racist, Nazi pigs...!
I remember growing up in Appomattox, Virginia, and my first cousin from Richmond asking grandma, “We’re all part Indian, aren’t we?” Grandma went ballistic. I can’t ever recall her getting so worked up. Now that grandma is gone, I’m thinking of getting the test out of curiosity.
*****There should be no privileges doled out based on having ancestors....*****
Who is doing that???
Curiosity about ancestry has been common for decades. Family trees are educational and helpful in locating relatives.
Chill!

Wait a minute. How is that POSSIBLE? Are you 200 years old?
Lol, that is hysterical. There were so many “greats” I just called him an ancestral grandfather..
obama’s came back 1/64th American.
