Presumed 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who President Trump has repeatedly mocked with the “Pocahontas” nickname, described herself as “American Indian” when registering as a lawyer in Texas. Perhaps hoping that it would get lost in the State of the Union coverage, the Washington Post published this revelation last night. Originally from Oklahoma, the Massachusetts Democrat and strident Trump foe for a long time insisted that she was part Cherokee based on family folklore but also denied that she used said heritage to qualify for prestigious academic jobs through affirmative action. In October, Sen. Warren released the results of the test that showed she was as minimal as 1/1,024th Native American, however, which is apparently less than the average white person. According to a recent report, Warren has apologized to the Cherokee Nation for publicizing the DNA results.
