He concluded that “the vast majority” of Warren’s ancestry is European, but he added that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”


Bustamante calculated that Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears in her family tree “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.” That timing fits Warren’s family lore, passed down during her Oklahoma upbringing, that her great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, was at least partially Native American.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2018/10/15/warren-addresses-native-american-issue/YEUaGzsefB0gPBe2AbmSVO/amp.html

Conservatives work so hard to prove Trump isn’t a lying unhinged psychopath. It’s sad

https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Why-are-my-AncestryDNA-ethnicity-results-different-than-I-expected-1460090082990

You received exactly 50% of your genes from each of your parents, but the percentages of DNA you received from ancestors at the grandparent level and further back are not necessarily neatly divided in two with each generation. At seven generations back, less than 1% of your DNA is likely to come from any given ancestor.


You’re talking out of your bum. When did Warren claim to have a high % of Native American blood? Show me a quote.

She said her great-great-great grandma was part Native American.
Trump being the masculine man he is, ridiculed her. You’re confusing our ass-hat President’s narrative with truth

Harvard Law School in the 1990s touted Warren, then a professor in Cambridge, as being "Native American." They singled her out, Warren later acknowledged, because she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory.

Keep in mind that you too would be very wealthy if you never had to pay taxes

the problem is that we have a president that is indebted to too many foreign entities involved in terrorism that own property in his high rise buildings...Russia, UAE, Israel

Why do you hope this to be

Does it affect you somehow

I'll bet Trump has done a ton of things that affect you but you are caught up in some side meaningless bs

Quote:
US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said on Wednesday that she listed herself as a minority in directories of law professors in the hopes of networking with other “people like me” — meaning those with Native American roots.


Quote:
Warren said that she was relying on family lore. In 2012, she told the Globe, “It was part of what we talked about. . . . It was just part of who we were.” In an interview with the Globe published last month, Warren explained that she identified herself as Native American in the late 1980s and early 1990s as many of the matriarchs of her family were dying and she began to feel that her family stories and history were becoming lost.


Quote:
The video includes testimony from three of her brothers, a nephew, and a cousin who is a Cherokee Nation citizen. They note that her father's family was bitterly opposed to her parents' marriage because of her mother's claims of Native American heritage


Warren never lied about her heritage. Never implied she was more than 1/32 Native American.
Trump and his fetish for mocking women to make himself feel strong. Thats what conservatives are latching on to. It’s pretty pathetic. But not a new low. They have done worse and will do worse in the future.

I dont understand the DNA results being made public. Was there an ongoing "investigation"? Was it still a thing people were focused on?

I just dont understand the timing or reason for this. It just becomes another distraction.

Warren is running for President and a lot has been made about her lying about being Native American. You see, the fast track to success in this country is found by lying about your Native American heritage. That's why there are so many prominent success stories involving Native Americans. So to attempt to put it to rest she did a DNA test to prove that she wasn't lying about it. Now the problem wasn't that she was lying, it's that she's not Native American enough. There's some magical percentage out there she could hit to satisfy her critics but (you're not going to believe this) she evidently did not reach it.
