Leftists responded with rage and anger after Cherokee Nation came out on Monday to criticize Elizabeth Warren for “undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.”
Warren earlier in the day released the results of a DNA test conducted at “a private lab in Georgia” which said she might possibly be anywhere from 1/64th to 1/1,024th Native American (which means she may have less Native American DNA than the average white American).
“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. said in a statement. “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.”
