If you go beyond the headlines of whether President Donald Trump has to pay up for an alleged bet, you’ll note that U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her Boston Globe stenographers embarrassed themselves with the “strong evidence” of her Native American heritage.
Warren has long claimed that she is part Cherokee based on family folklore and denied that she used said heritage to qualify for prestigious academic jobs through affirmative action.
Under her just released and seemingly sketchy DNA test “results,” It turns out that the would-be Democrat 2020 presidential candidate is, at best, 0.0009765625 Native America rather than 1/512 as the Globe originally claimed before it admitted its math error.
What that apparently means it that she has less Native American blood than the average white person.
BREAKING: Major correction from the @BostonGlobe. The DNA test revealed that Elizabeth Warren is not 1/512 Native American, she's 1/1,024. That's 0.0009765625. pic.twitter.com/5wjgMs5MLy

NARRATIVE BUSTER:
According to a comprehensive DNA study by the Genetic Literacy Project, an average White person in America has 0.18 percent Native American DNA.
This means Sen. Warren has statistically *less* Indian DNA than the avg. white American
Humiliating self-own here

The actual facts are that a non commercial tester, Carlos Bustamante, deduced that Warren was between 1/32 to 1/512 Colombian, Peruvian, or Mexican. The dearth of Native American DNA prompted the “examiner” to use these national markers based on migration theory. #SeñoritaWarren https://t.co/OnUhOV1DB2

1/1024 "Native American" indirectly derived from South American genetic markers is "proof" of Native heritage?
1/1024 of $1 million = $976.56.
President Trump should donate that amount in Monopoly money, which is as genuine as Warren's claim.#Fauxcahontas https://t.co/0Cf4a7NWBG

Let me get this straight. The left is permitting Elizabeth Warren, who has less native heritage than I do, to appropriate native culture so that they can call Trump racist for making fun of her for appropriating native culture to get into Harvard. It's getting hard to keep up.

So @elizabethforma used a ploy that deprived genuine minority applicants of the rare opportunities that were available then. She’s despicable. pic.twitter.com/QFeBP914gH

Do you think that this proof will convince Trump to remove the “Pocahontas” moniker from his campaign rally repertoire?
Even MSNBC isn’t buying it:
