Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Is Not Her Identity
The Atlantic ^ | October 17, 2018 | Krystal Tsosie

Posted on 10/17/2018 10:03:43 AM PDT by C19fan

After receiving a direct challenge from President Donald Trump to prove her Native American ancestry by submitting to a DNA test, Senator Elizabeth Warren released her results Monday morning. As an enrolled member of the Diné (Navajo) Nation, I obviously have some thoughts on this development. As a geneticist-bioethicist, I have even more. Whether or not Warren has genetic ties to indigenous peoples, she is not Native American, and her public gambit could dangerously obscure that distinction.

As a Leftie, you know you really screwed up when a site like the Atlantic calls you to account.

Warren is a very unimpressive person.

Will she receive an honorary PhD(uh) from the University of Dumbassistan?

she is not Native American

A knit to pick. She is a Native American. She is not, however, an American Indian.

That’s true.

She could be a full-blooded Maori tribesman and still be an a-hole.

Elizabeth Warren is not only a total narcissist, she is tone-deaf as well. She should have dropped this touch of cachet YEARS ago, and never brought it up again.

But that is only from the perspective of the Democrats. Elevating this story into the headlines right now, before the mid-term elections, only manages to remind people of the duplicitous nature of the Democrats, the “Me-me-me” chant that is supposed to make us love them and return them to office. NOT attractive.

Are they sure she cannot ‘Identify’ as any sex, race, culture, gender, nationality etc. she wishes, and can change it at any time ? That seems to be the freak nation norm ala Dolezal identifying as a black and Booker identifying as a human, and every freak changing gender at a whim to go harass people just trying to use a public bathroom, dressing room. /muchoSarc

I think it has dawned on the leftists that there is no upside to keeping this issue going. No way is this deluded harpie going to get the 2020 nomination.

Did anyone here actually read the article? The loony leftist author is essentially saying that since Warren identifies as Cherokee she is. Predictable outcome of this farce.

So, the failed Cherokee identity gambit puts the deviant agenda in trouble.

If you must prove genetic ancestry and can’t, the same logic transfers to gender. If the genes put the lie to what you want, you must accept what the genes say. If the genes are XY, you can’t claim XX
