Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) took a DNA test to prove that her claims of Indian ancestry were accurate.
The results show Warren is at best 1/64th Native American. In reality, she is of European descent.
In fact, she may even be 1/1024th, considering her “Indian ancestor” is potentially six to 10 generations back.
Now, 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.— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) October 15, 2018
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:
By the way, @realDonaldTrump: Remember saying on 7/5 that you’d give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? I remember – and here's the verdict.

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.”

Here’s video of Warren claiming she’s Indian:
On Warren 2020, via Newsmax:
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she’ll take a “hard look at running for president” after the November elections.
The Boston Globe reports the Massachusetts Democrat spoke about her future during a town hall in western Massachusetts Saturday.
Warren, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, is running for re-election in November against GOP state Rep. Geoff Diehl, who was co-chairman of Trump’s 2016 Massachusetts campaign.
More:
An attendee asked her if she planned to run for president.
Warren replied that it’s time “for women to go to Washington to fix our broken government, and that includes a woman at the top.”
