They’re calling her “One Drop.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren made herself the target of even more mockery after gloating over the release of a DNA test that didn’t exactly prove anything, much less her claims of Native American ancestry.
The premature celebration by the Massachusetts Democrat and potential 2020 presidential contender of the ‘proof’ in the test results was summed up perfectly by conservative commentator and CRTV host, Allie Beth Stuckey.
This is like spiking the ball after scoring a touchdown in the other team’s end zone ? https://t.co/DdIOLb3Crn

Warren shared the results of her DNA test conducted by a Stanford researcher with the Boston Globe and proceeded to effectively rub President Donald Trump’ s face in it following his relentless mockery of “Pocahontas” and her alleged Native American heritage.
“A famous geneticist analyzed my DNA and concluded that it contains Native American ancestry,” Warren touted in a tweet Monday accompanied by a five-minute video.
My family (including Fox News-watchers) sat together and talked about what they think of @realDonaldTrump’s attacks on our heritage. And yes, a famous geneticist analyzed my DNA and concluded that it contains Native American ancestry. pic.twitter.com/r3SNzP22f8

Additional tweets from Warren drove the point home, citing that “a deep, independent investigation shows my background played no role in any job I got.”
I get it: @realDonaldTrump is afraid of facts. But I’m not. And the facts are clear. A deep, independent investigation shows my background played no role in any job I got. https://t.co/LTQ6d1sMwM

The DNA test indicated that Warren has a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations which the Boston Globe claimed would make the Democrat senator between 1/32 and 1/512 Native American.
I never expected my family’s story to be used as a racist political joke, but I don’t take any fight lying down. I want you to have the power to fight lies with the truth, so here’s a new site for you to review every document for yourself. https://t.co/900SsAMNjb

But as it turned out, the Globe issued a correction updating the results to show Warren’s Native American ancestry is actually 1/1024.
BOSTON GLOBE: “Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 10th generation relative. It should be 1/1,024.”

Big deal. Elizabeth Warren percentage of Indian between 1/32 to 1/1,024th. I.e., the same percentage chance she has of being elected president.

“We are confident it is not an error,” Carlos D. Bustamante, the Stanford University professor who conducted the analysis, noted in the Boston Globe report, though he did not actually use samples of Native American DNA.
The report revealed: “To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American.”
According to the Globe:
Detecting DNA for Native Americans is particularly tricky because there is an absence of Native American DNA available for comparison. This is in part because Native American leaders have asked tribal members not to participate in genetic databases.
“The tribes have felt they have been exploited,” explained Lawrence Brody, a senior investigator with the Medical Genomics and Metabolic Genetics Branch at the National Institutes of Health. “The amount of genetic data that is available from Native Americans is sparse.”
Asked about the test results on Monday, President Trump replied, “Who cares?”
Warren’s attempt to defuse questions about her ancestry that have dogged her for years seems to have backfired amid the test results – even before the miscalculation that puts her between .09 and 3 percent Native American.
Imagine being @SenWarren and thinking claiming to be 1/1024th Native American, maybe, would clear up these Pocahontas lies. Incredible. She should have burned those DNA test results and stuck with the lies.

BREAKING: Cleveland Indians announce Elizabeth Warren not even eligible to be a bobblehead.

Btw, the Elizabeth Warren report doesn’t seem to actually confirm she was either 1/32nd or 1/1024th Native American. It says she’s a tiny part Colombian, Mexican, or Peruvian. pic.twitter.com/oZo1tm8SB6

So in order to have an ounce of probability to create truth we are now led to believe that the Indians who crossed from the Bearing Sea region made it down to Columbian and Peru and Mexico generations ago so Pochantas(EW) could be a reality. You can’t make this stuff up folks.

The funniest part is watching all the Democrat publicists, masquerading as journalists, circling the wagons to damage control and protect her absurd claim.

But Warren’s victory lap has only put the Pocahontas controversy back on the forefront of debate, causing face-palms by some in her own party, like former Obama campaign manager, Jim Messina.
Argue the substance all you want, but why 22 days before a crucial election where we MUST win house and senate to save America, why did @SenWarren have to do her announcement now? Why can’t Dems ever stay focused???
— Jim Messina (@Messina2012) October 15, 2018
I suspect that, given the criteria being used by Elizabeth Warren, that @realDonaldTrump has more American Indian ancestry than she does
— Dinesh D’Souza (@DineshDSouza) October 15, 2018
According to the New York Times, the average white person in America has nearly double the amount of American Indian DNA (0.18%) as Elizabeth Warren (0.098%), who claims to be Cherokee. Can’t argue with science. https://t.co/pfk3xFdln3 pic.twitter.com/LhBd983OXT

Elizabeth Warren has to go back 10 generations to find a non-white person in her family lineage. Warren is extremely, extraordinarily, almost completely white. Way whiter than the average whitey. That’s the real headline here.
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) October 15, 2018
That @SenWarren had the confidence to release a document saying that she MIGHT be 1/1024 Native American knowing that the media would treat it as a victory tells you everything you need to know about everything.
