The week sure got off to a rocky start for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). On Monday morning, her decades-long claims to be Native American came crashing down as the results of her DNA test were revealed. Then, to add insult to injury, a police chief from Warren’s home state came out with some very humiliating information about the top Democrat. It’s no wonder she suffered an embarrassing public meltdown.
According to Breitbart, Sen. Elizabeth Warren launched a bizarre Twitter rant late Monday afternoon following the disastrous rollout of DNA results that further debunked her decades-long claim to American Indian ancestry. In her first tweet, and without any evidence, Warren made the outlandish claim that President Donald Trump “makes creepy physical threats about me.”
“We all know why @realDonaldTrump makes creepy physical threats about me, right? He’s scared,” Warren tweeted from her verified account. “He’s trying to do what he always does to women who scare him: call us names, attack us personally, shrink us down to feel better about himself. It may soothe his ego – but it won’t work.”
Warren linked to comments Trump made Monday ridiculing her DNA test. After a reporter suggested to the president that he owed her an apology, an incredulous Trump responded, “I owe her? She owes the country an apology. What’s her percentage [of Indian ancestry]? 1/1,000th?”

The actual numbers could be anywhere from 1/64 to 1/1024. Regardless, all the DNA test proved is that Warren has no more claim to Indian heritage than the average white American:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is touting a DNA test that shows she has, at most, 1/64 Native American ancestry, and possibly as little as 1/1024 — which means she may have no more Native American DNA than the average white American, and less than many other Americans.
Even 1/64 — corresponding to one great-great-great-great grand parent — would not qualify Warren for membership in any Native American tribe, nor justify her claims to Native American identity. [Source: Breitbart]
Trump once made an offer to pay $1 million to Warren’s favorite charity if he could administer a DNA test that proved she was of American Indian ancestry. The president need not worry, however, because the DNA test failed to prove that Warren is a Native American.
The analysis of Warren’s DNA was done by Carlos D. Bustamante, a Stanford University professor and expert in the field who won a 2010 MacArthur fellowship, also known as a genius grant, for his work on tracking population migration via DNA analysis.
Warren provided a sample of her DNA to a private lab in Georgia in August, according to one of the senator’s aides. The data from that test was sent to Bustamante and his team for analysis. Warren received the report last week.
To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American. [Source: Boston Globe]
Warren’s rambling Twitter thread continued with a link to the Boston Globe. Warren then turned her attention back to Trump, accusing him of racism in one tweet and of being a tax cheat in another. As the minutes ticked by, the tweets became more and more erratic.
“If @realDonaldTrump – a cowardly elitist who has never known or cared what life is like for anyone who’s ever lived outside of a skyscraper in Manhattan – wants to talk about authenticity, well then, let’s talk about who’s REALLY pretending to be someone they’re not,” Warren tweeted.

“Oh, and one more thing. @realDonaldTrump likes to pretend he’s a real tough guy. But like most bullies, he sure scares easy, doesn’t he?” she wrote. “He’s afraid to stand up to Vladimir Putin in defense of our country, afraid to talk to Robert Mueller because he knows he’ll crack under the pressure, and so afraid to go out in public, he hides out at his own golf clubs.”

“And you know what scares him the most? Us. The American people. He’s afraid we’ll see him for who he really is and expose the con he’s been running on our country from Day One,” Warren went on. “And @realDonaldTrump should be scared – because on November 6, we’re going to bust up that con once and for all.”

Good grief. Elizabeth Warren has been lying from the beginning about her heritage to gain political advantage. Now, she is turning into the tragic train wreck that we just can’t stop watching.
