Elizabeth Warren Refuses DNA Test to Prove That She Has Native American – Wonder Why?

Well, she told Harvard that she had Native American heritage…  and was represented as a minority faculty member to the student body.  She even published a cook book called “Pow Wow Chow: A Collection of Recipes from Families of the Five Civilized Tribes: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek & Seminole,” which included some of her favorite recipes of her own creation.

Turns out, she at least two of the recipes were plagiarized.  Plus, her husband — who’s never claimed to be Native American — submitted a recipe which had him listed as Cherokee.  (His was “Oriental Beef Stir Fry” — wait, what?  Oriental beef?  Why not Pad Thai?  Hot tamales?  Biscuits and grits?)  Regardless, this recipe appeared identically a year before in a different publication.

People began to wonder if she was really Native American.  Not just because of the cookbook.  I mean look at her.  I didn’t go to Harvard, but this lady looks about as Native American as Mister Rogers.

People began calling her Fauxcahontas.  Then President Trump started calling her Pocahontas.  Recently, she was offered the chance to prove she actually has the Native American blood on which she has been profiting.  The New York Post has the details:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren batted down calls for her to take a DNA test to prove her Native American heritage in an interview that aired Sunday.

“I know who I am. And never used it for anything. Never got any benefit from it anywhere,” Warren said of her ancestry on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

This is what identity politics gets you.  By Harvard prioritizing skin color over the content of one’s character, they got neither.
