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.

Presumed 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who President Trump has repeatedly derided with the “Pocahontas” nickname, has reportedly apologized to the Cherokee Nation released DNA tests that supposedly backed up her long-standing claim that she has Native American ancestry. In October, Sen. Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat originally from Oklahoma, released the results of the test that showed she was as minimal as 1/1,024th Native American, which is apparently less than the average white person. “[The test data] was widely viewed as a serious stumble by Warren, with mockery from conservatives over how marginal her claim was and derision from progressives for delving into race science,” the Washington Free Beacon explained. All along, Warren had insisted that she was part Cherokee based on family folklore and also denied that she used said heritage to qualify for prestigious academic jobs through affirmative action.
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
