Trump promised to donate $1 million to the charity of Warren’s choice if she released the results of a genetic test that proved Native American heritage.

She just shot herself in the foot.

...a sixth- or seventh-generation Kentuckian, grew up hearing she had Native American ancestry, a common narrative for families with unexplained dark complexions. So, in 2014, she mailed in her saliva sample to find out...the bigger surprise was that I have a significant amount of sub-Saharan markers

To make up for the dearth of DNA from Native American tribes in the United States, Bustamante matched Warren’s DNA with samples from indigenous peoples in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia.

Those samples can be used as a substitute for Native American tribes, geneticists said, because Native Americans first came through the Bering Strait about 12,000 years ago, and then migrated from what’s now the United States into Central and South America.

“Dr. Bustamante is one of the world’s experts in this, and his analyses are not junk science but legitimate and unambiguous,” said Jennifer A. Raff, an anthropological geneticist at the University of Kansas who specializes in Native American population history.

Raff and others cautioned, however, that just because Warren has Native American ancestry does not mean she can claim to be Native American.

“If you’re talking about creating authenticity and legitimacy around being indigenous, it really has to be about knowing and understanding your culture and your history,” said Keolu Fox, a genome scientist at University of California San Diego, who is Native Hawaiian.

“We will take that little kit -- but we have to do it gently. Because we’re in the #MeToo generation, we have to do it gently,” he said. “And we will very gently take that kit, and slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t injure her arm, and we will say: I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.”

"If she gets the nomination in the debate where I was going to have her tested," Trump said.

Is Nafod actually arguing that Warren proved ANY native American Heritage? Let alone a specific tribe? This is math...this is not a partisan issue.

In April 2012, The Boston Globe sparked a campaign controversy by reporting that from 1986 to 1995 Warren had listed herself as a racial minority in the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Directory of Law Teachers.

The Globe closely reviewed the records, verified them where possible, and conducted more than 100 interviews with her colleagues and every person who had a role in hiring decisions about Warren who could be reached. In sum, it is clear that Warren was viewed as a white woman by the hiring committees at every institution that employed her.

Warren’s political enemies have long pushed a narrative that her unsubstantiated claims of Native American heritage turbocharged her legal career. But it is clear that Warren was viewed as a white woman by the hiring committees at every institution that employed her.

Among the records were some never examined before by a newspaper, including one key form that a University of Pennsylvania professor kept tucked away for three decades.

That previously undisclosed report reveals that the hiring committee at Penn, where Warren worked from 1987 to 1995, viewed her as a white female applicant. Moreover, the committee went to some pains to explain on this form why she was selected over several minorities to fill a faculty position.

Not until she had been teaching at Penn for two years did she authorize the university to change her personnel designation from white to Native American, the records show.

The Globe also reviewed, for the first time, a Harvard University human resources form showing that Warren first listed her ethnicity as Native American nearly five months after she started her tenured position at Harvard and 2½ years after she was there as a visiting professor and first offered the job.

Trump is not the issue.....The issue is, the math is clear. She's no more native than any other.

Trump is the issue because Trump made it the issue with his big fat dumbass pie hole.

He challenged her to get tested, offered to pay $1,000,000 if she took a test and it came back positive, she did, it came back what you would expect for what her family said, he should pay.

It really is that simple unless you are a weasel trying to get out of an obligation, which Trump specializes in. So now he claims he didn’t say what he said on tape in front of a few thousand people, and of course the DNA technology which is revolutionizing everything is now junk science, all to avoid giving up what is pocket lint for a billionaire. If he is a billionaire.

Is it bullshit? The Globe thing is focused entirely on her hirings into the 90s. Seems well-researched.
(I haven't personally verified a single thing in it, and won't ever try.)

Not at all.

OK...How about this....Trump Pays Double..>Fucking Triple ..IDC..

She steps down from political office for being a lying sack of shit advancing her political carrier off of Trail of Tears Stolen Valor?

I'm happy to watch Trump burn for anything and everything. She's still a cunt that should be ridiculed out of public life. Whther she gor caught out by the GOP or by a Dem challenger. She's dogshit.
