Fact check: Trump wants Warren to prove her Native American heritage. Could she?
NBC News ^ | July 6, 2018 | Jane C. Timm

President Donald Trump escalated a familiar attack on Sen. Elizabeth Warren Thursday night, mocking the Massachusetts Democrat and leading potential 2020 rival for her claim of Native American heritage.

He revived his nickname for her — "the fake Pocahontas" — and told the crowd at his Montana campaign rally that should the two find themselves on a debate stage, he would challenge her to submit to genetic testing to prove that she has Native American ancestors.

"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," he said. "I have a feeling she will say no."

Warren immediately shot back: "While you obsess over my genes, your Admin is conducting DNA tests on little kids because you ripped them from their mamas," she wrote on Twitter, a reference to the migrant children who have been separated from their parents at the southern border because of a Trump administration policy....

It doesn’t matter if her name is “Geronimo”...she’s still a lefty liberal/socialist and doesn’t deserve the time of day at the polls.

Yeah, people are putting too much stock in the DNA test for ancestry. It isn’t as reliable as people think....or at least you can draw conclusions from the data that are quite mistaken.

Warren’s case falls apart with traditional genealogy, and if you want the exact details of how and why, check out this blog by a Cherokee genealogist:

Comedian Bill Burr hits this issue perfectly:

Why would you send your saliva into the Internet? Why would you do that? Why don't you just go to the Illuminati and help them build your robot replacement?

My Son-in-Law is enrolled as a Pottawatomie in Oklahoma. He does not look ever slightly Indian to me. Blond hair and blue eyes.

My Grandchildren are also on the roles. I do not know much about what privileges that gives them but I do know they can go to the Indian hospital. In their case they have insurance through his work and have never gone to it.

A set of identical triplet ladies sent in DNA requests....from 3 different locations, and with 3 different married last names.

The results came back:

3 entirely different results.

I am thinking these ‘DNA’ tests are the current “Pet Rock” scam.

It’s why they do cheek and saliva samples...because blood could be done this way....also mature red cells have no nucleus, only immature “nucleated ones” would have any dna but they aren’t normally seen in large numbers unless the body is stressed because of bleeding. Also mixes of 2 sets of complete dna sequences in one sample would flag as a suspicious anomaly.

I have not doubt there are lots of progressives at 23andme.com or Ancestry.com who would gladly give Warren a 1/32nd Native American report.

I’m wondering the same thing. My great grandmother was 1/2 native american. My grandfather looked like geronimo in his teens and twenties with jet black hair. Yet my niece just took the test and it showed no native american.

My wife’s cousin took the test and showed african american. Their entire family tree is european immigrants to Dakota’s and Minnesota. That was also around the time the company got busted for putting percenatages of black just to mess with people.

The bottom line is, how do you know it is accurate? What they send you and what thye put in the nsa/google database could be entirely different.

Good grief. My stepdaughter married an Indian right off the reservation. He's a great guy. Works as as heavy equipment operator. They have fine kids. Too bad Fauxcahontas couldn't have done the same.

This is one argument he needs to drop unless he’s already tested her DNA off her coffee cup. All it takes is one guy coming over to Jamestown with John Smith in 1607 to fool around with a native chick and he’ll have egg on his face.

They supposedly can determine percentage dominance. Been reading a wild book lately. When Scotland was Jewish. Lol. Apparently the greatest percentage was found in certain Scottish families from SE Scotland and NW Scotland. Lots of surprises await discovery.
