Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) thought she was going to shut President Trump up once and for all by proving she is American Indian by taking a DNA test.

The results instantly backfired.

Warren was told she might have an Indian ancestor dating back six to 10 generations.

At best, that would make her 1/64th Indian.

Now, a correction has been issued suggesting Warren may be “between 1/64th and 1/1024th Mexican, Colombian, or Peruvian.”

From Daily Wire:

The Boston Globe had to issue a second embarrassing correction to their story claiming that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is Native American, admitting that the newspaper made “a math error.”

[…]

The embarrassing report from Annie Linskey even noted that the analysis of Warren’s genetic ancestry was based not on Native American DNA, but on Mexican, Peruvian, and Colombian DNA.

Even more embarrassing, a comprehensive study by geneticists estimated that the average European-American has 0.18% Native American DNA, which may be higher than Warren.

Reactions:

The Cherokee Nation has weighed in – and they’re not pleased with Warren.

Yes, parents are first = you get 1/2 of your DNA from each.
Grandparents second = 1/4.
Three generations up = 1/8.
Four = 1/16.
Five = 1/32.
Six = 1/64.

If the probable ancestor is 6 to 10 generations back, as the expert estimated, Warren would be 1/64 to 1/1024. This is simple math. Please correct @BostonGlobe @AnnieLinskey.

Warren continues to push her roots:

About that $1 million to which Warren is referring, in which she claims President Trump pledged to donate the cash?

He was speaking hypothetically, if the two were to ever debate one-on-one.

Here’s the deal, per The Hill:

But let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas, I’ll do this.

I promise you I’ll do this, you know those little kits they sell on television for $2? Learn your heritage. I’m going to get one of those little kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage — because her mother said she has high cheekbones, that’s her only evidence.

We will take that little kit, we have to do it gently because we’re in the “Me Too” generation, we have to be very gentle. We will very gently take that kit and we will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm, even though it only weighs probably 2 oz.

And we will say, ‘I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian. And we’ll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no but we will hold it for the debates.”
