Trump Slams Warren's DNA Test Result: 'Pocahontas Is A Complete And Total Fraud'
- 6 years ago
President Trump on Tuesday stepped up his attack on Elizabeth Warren.
President Trump on Tuesday continued his long-enduring charge against Senator Elizabeth Warren and her Native American ancestry. He tweeted: "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!" "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!" Trump continued. Moments later, he added: "Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!" The DNA test taken by the Senator indicated "strong evidence" of a Native American ancestor from between six and ten generations ago. Notably, the Cherokee Nation has, indeed, criticized Warren, stating that her claim of Native American ancestry is "undermining tribal interests." The senator issued a response, noting: "DNA and family history has nothing to do with tribal affiliation or citizenship, which is determined only — only — by Tribal Nations…I respect the distinction, & don't list myself as Native in the Senate."
