Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., argued that her family’s claim to Native American ancestry is an indelible part of who she is — something that can never be taken away.
Warren defended herself on NBC’s “Meet the Press with Chuck Todd” Sunday morning when asked what she thought about taking an easily accessible DNA test, such as those offered by 23andMe or Ancestry, to settle the ongoing controversy over her heritage.
Rather than address that question specifically, Warren told a story about how her mother and father, born and raised in Oklahoma, met as teenagers and fell head-over-heels in love. Her father’s family was bitterly opposed to their relationship, she said, because her mother was part Native American, but the couple eloped and persevered.
“That’s the story that my brothers and I all learned from our Mom and our Dad, from our grandparents and all of our aunts and uncles. It’s a part of me, and nobody is going to take that part of me away — not ever,” Warren said.

She believes she is an Indian, so she is an Indian.
If she believed she was a male, she would be a male.
Yet she accuses others of not believing in the science of global warming.
Yep, and I firmly believe if it wasn't for this one thing, she would run. She just can't shake the Native American lie and the hilarious memes / names out there.
I wish someone here who has some good credentials in genetics could explain something to me. A human being has 46 chromosomes. DNA exists on those chromosomes. Yet if you go back even as little as eight generations you have 256 ancestors from whom you could conceivable have gotten one of those chromosomes. Assuming one of those ancestors had DNA indicators for a certain "nationality," how could you be certain that you, who have only 46 chromosomes, might have received a copy of it? It seems to me there must be some serious extrapolating going on, or some other sort of mathematical deviltry, to say that a person is one percent of a certain type.
True dat.
I believe I’m a F-35 Stealth Fighter.
Nobody calls me an F-35 Stealth Fighter so it proves just how well the stealth technology works.
I also go by the nickname of “Cost Overrun”.
“At least she doesn’t pull an Obama and just fake it. “
If she’s running, you know they will create a fake DNA test result.
You are looking at this thing from an outdated point of view. These days, it's like being able to choose your gender identity. All you have to do is THINK you're a Native American, and presto! ... you are a Native American.
And if anyone demands evidence, just say you're invoking your right to refuse proof under the Warren Rule.
Just snag her drinking glass or silverware after she dines somewhere
You’ll not get one hair off that squaw’s head. Even the tribe rejected her scalp.
True
I was thinking that too. Piece of cake.
No spit.
That’s a great graphic!
“Warren told a story about how her mother and father, born and raised in Oklahoma, met as teenagers and fell head-over-heels in love. Her father’s family was bitterly opposed to their relationship, she said, because her mother was part Native American”
She’s totally insane.
Scientific facts aren’t going to take away the Warren family tradition of lying.
The hilarity of this is that someone, *anyone* can claim to have gotten a sample of Warren’s DNA, from like a discarded drinking cup, a facial tissue, all kinds of detritus just like that. And they they can claim that they have submitted her DNA to three different testing organizations.
Then they can play up a “breaking news announcement” about whether Warren has any Native American DNA in her “at all”, or else she is “a lying fraud, a living insult to every American Indian.”
And there’s not a damned thing she can do about it.
The best part is that it is “the gift that keeps on giving”, so they can then say, “though she has no Native American in her, guess what she *does* have!?!”
They can claim that she has “notorious slave owner” DNA in her, and not too many generations back her ancestors owned slaves. They can assert that she is a blood relative of some of the most repulsive people in US history.
Admission committees got wise to that after Warren decided to claim she was an Indian, and now requires proof -- a forebear named on one of the Indian tribal census roles. (DNA isn't enough.)
I have Native American DNA -- it's not uncommon. And I'm as blond as Elizabeth Warren, probably blonder. Passage to North America for the pioneers was not cheap and it was dangerous, and so the M/F ratio of the early pioneers was not exactly 1:1. There was an excess of European men.
As presented in "The Last of the Mohicans", Native Americans were disappearing by the time of the French and Indian War -- for multiple reasons, but including that they were assimilating with the European population.
(Barack Obama was not the first biracial politician who was elected to national office in the United States.)
