President Trump slammed Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Tuesday after a DNA test revealed that she has less than half the Native American DNA as the average white person.
Warren has claimed to be Native American for decades – and was identified by Harvard Law as a “woman of color” – which promoted her as a diversity hire with a “minority background,” prompting Trump to refer to her as “Pocahontas.”
After Warren’s DNA test revealed she may be 1/1024 Native American, President Trump fired off several Tuesday tweets:
“Pocahontas (the bad version), sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren, is getting slammed. She took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, “DNA test is useless.” Even they don’t want her. Phony!”
Trump then said: “Now that her claims of being of Indian heritage have turned out to be a scam and a lie, Elizabeth Warren should apologize for perpetrating this fraud against the American Public. Harvard called her “a person of color” (amazing con), and would not have taken her otherwise!”
Cherokee Nation issued a statement on Monday, claiming that Warren’s announcement “makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, who ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is prove. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.”
President Trump jumped on that too, tweeting: “Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!”
