Senator Elizabeth Warren told CNN: "I am not running for president in 2020." In perhaps related news, Warren has declined to take a DNA test to establish once and for all how much -- if any -- Native American blood she has in her.
Acosta also asked if she gets upset when President Donald Trump refers to her as "Pocahontas."
"It's about my family's story. Because my family's story is deeply a part of me and a part of my brothers," Warren said. "It's what we learned from our parents. It's what we learned from our grandparents. It's what we learned from our aunts and uncles.
"I went to speak to Native American tribal leaders and I made a promise to them that every time President Trump wants to try to throw out some kind of racial slur, he wants to attack me, I'm going to use it as a chance to lift up their stories," she added.
The left loves science -- as long as it serves their political purposes. Otherwise, not so much.
Warren doesn't want to find out how much Native American ancestry she has because no matter what the percentage is, it won't be enough for most people. Besides, for the left, the issue isn't DNA. In an age when you can claim you're any sex you want, you can also call yourself black even if you're white and Native American even if it's based on family legends.
Her explanation for not taking the DNA test is dishonest.
“I know who I am. And never used it for anything. Never got any benefit from it anywhere,” Warren said of her ancestry on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The Massachusetts Democrat has been under increased pressure to provide evidence of her Native American roots, with President Trump repeatedly mocking her as “Pocahontas” as recently as Saturday.
An editorial this month in Massachusetts’s Berkshire Eagle urged Warren to buy a DNA test for $99 to resolve the issue once and for all.
“All the senator needs to do is spit into a tube, wait a few weeks and get her answer,” the paper said.
Asked whether she’d take an ancestry test, Warren said she wants to hold onto the folklore of her parents’ love story.
“My mother and daddy were born and raised in Oklahoma,” Warren said. “My daddy first saw my mother when they were both teenagers. He fell in love with this tall, quiet girl who played the piano. Head over heels. But his family was bitterly opposed to their relationship because she was part Native American. They eventually eloped.”
How nice. But the claim she makes about never using it for anything and not getting any benefits is belied by the fact that at both Pennsylvania University and Harvard, she told administrators she had Native American ancestors.
You know....if you could find just one 99-percent Indian from Mass...authenticated, and ran them as a GOP, I think with the right message and theme, they could easily beat Warren. Surely in the whole state...there ought to be one such gal or guy....maybe retired Marine?
Was it really raining?
Or was that just them, peeing on your leg?
She’s running for Veep...not prez. I tire of lying, subversive POS.
POW WOW!! She's admitting that her father's side of the family are RACISTS! WHOA NELLIE!!
Just go get her DNA out of the trash and submit it.
If she loses in Massatwoshitts it will probably be to someone on her left.
RE: I think she is going to lose her Senate seat this year.
Seeing that this is Massachusetts, which voted Ted Kennedy back in AFTER the Chappaquidick incident, I WOULD NOT BET ON IT.
Betting she HAS taken the test and she is not !
Oh, not betting on it but if you look at her election results she does not have Kennedy numbers. Not even close, and she is not a Kennedy.
We can also be certain that if her name was Trump...
1)The MSM would have hunted down all the descendants of that grandmother and all the descendants of that grandmother’s blood siblings.
2) The MSM would then bribe the $hit out of them for any prior DNA test of theirs or to take one immediately.
Hillary may run again. She was cheated out of the presidency by: Russia, white males, incompetent staff, fill in another 20 or 30 reasons. And yes it is her turn.
Seems to me that if she really thought she was part native American that the DNA test would be no big deal. Of course,we don’t need her running for office regardless.
She should run with Maxine as her VP.
Tell her she could be eligible for some casino money.
She will take the test.
Did she say she was not running, or that she just had reservations. :-)
Nominee Elizabeth Warren Scott Brown
Party Democratic Republican
Popular vote 1,696,346 1,458,048
Percentage 53.7% 46.2%
This is with Obama on the ballot and she has not gained in popularity.
That’s a lot closer than I would have thought.
Why didn’t Romney run for that seat?
I know why, that was rhetorical.
Didn’t she go to college under some Indian scholarship?
Isn’t scamming benefits a felony?
These leftists are a bunch liars.
