Warren subjected to hateful attacks from resentful, insecure, racist, and rather nominal Indians

I am hoping Senator Warren fails, and fails soon.

But not like this and certainly not for this.

These attacks are as absurd as anything coming from Trump, and are a stab in the back from the identity politics left.

Elizabeth Warren’s Insult To Native Americans Matters Even More Now That She’s Running

This entire article is just hateful guilt-trip, race politics bullshit, and shame on Huffpo for harboring it.

Warren did nothing to insult anyone, and nothing to undermine anyone or anything but Trump and his often-repeated lie that her claims of remote Indian ancestry were false.

All she did was publicly prove her claims.

You don't like it?

Fuck you.

Meanwhile, Trump has made a riposte to her proof that he, not she, is the liar that is likely to enjoy some success.

Especially if the rest of the left follows Huffpo's lead in chuckling, if perhaps not quite laughing out loud, along with Bozo.

As if to say with a mocking grin, "So that's what your DNA test proved?"

Trump Rags On Elizabeth Warren’s Native American Heritage In Wordless Tweet

President Donald Trump once again dunked on Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and her marginal Native American heritage on Thursday morning, this time with a mock presidential campaign logo.

The image, apparently taken from right-wing website The Daily Wire, reads “1/2020th” below Warren’s last name, a reference to her very slight Native American ancestry. 

See what I mean?

Warren released the results of a DNA test in October to back up her claim that she likely had a Native American ancestor after enduring repeated mockery by Trump and conservative pundits. 

It provided “strong evidence” that she had a native ancestor six to 10 generations ago.

That would make her something between 1/(2 to the 6th) part and 1/(2 to the 10th) part Indian.

Between 1/64th and 1/1024th Indian.

So, yes, the president's wordless jibe is only slightly hyperbolical.

But this sort of mockery is what the tribal types are really worried about.

Modern self-identified American Indians, including those actually living on reservations, are rarely even as much as half-Indian by blood.

What counts as Native American heritage is a question with different answers among the 573 legally recognized tribes in the United States.

Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. released a statement Monday in response to Warren's test and claims.

"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong," the statement said in part. 

"It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. 

Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage."

Most tribes use their membership rolls dating back decades, requiring a direct descendant or blood quantum. 

Warren claims Cherokee and Delaware heritage -- both of which use membership rolls to determine who qualifies for tribal citizenship, which Warren has never claimed. 

Cherokee Nation principal chief Bill John Baker is 1/32 Cherokee by blood.

So Chief Baker is actually what, a white guy claiming to be an Indian?

These are the people whining about the crimes of white people against the Indians every Columbus Day and every Thanksgiving Day?

Trump's jest, occasioned by Warren's defense of her claim, by implication is rather a laugh in the face of the soi-disant Indians and tribal leaders of modern America.

And that is the real problem these angry wannabe redskins have with the senator taking that test.

It makes their claims to be real Indians, themselves, rather a joke.

So, laugh along with Bozo at the senator if you will, Huffpo writers.

But his laughter and yours go right past her to today's "Native Americans" en masse.

Oh, the point is sometimes made in criticizing Warren that DNA tests cannot distinguish even between North American and South American Indians, and so cannot prove that her ancestor was specifically a Cherokee or Delaware.

But the DNA test does prove she had a single 100% Indian ancestor, and given that much her family's lore that the ancestor was Cherokee or Delaware is credible, absent undermining or contrary evidence.
