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 NBCs Meet the Press.

The Massachusetts Democrat has been under increased pressure to provide evidence of her Native American roots, with President Trump repeatedly mocking her as Pocahontas as recently as Saturday.

An editorial this month in Massachusettss Berkshire Eagle urged Warren to buy a DNA test for $99 to resolve the issue once and for all.

All the senator needs to do is spit into a tube, wait a few weeks and get her answer, the paper said.

Asked whether shed take an ancestry test, Warren said she wants to hold onto the folklore of her parents love story.


It's almost like she might be afraid of something. Hmm, what could that be?

That isn't something they can demand, so not relevant to this discussion.

Why should she be the only one? If she has to, then all senators and congressmen should do it.

There's no real reason for this.

All that matters is those who vote her into office.

I am a Massachusetts resident, and I am voting for her.

Why? Because unlike Diehl, Shiva and the other right-wing nutjobs, she's been actively there for the people of this state. I've even marched side-by-side with her last year in Pride and she was fantastic. Actions > words. Her actions are pretty damn great. All the right wingers have on her is this "pocahontas" thing, which isn't enough to sway me away. I'm voting her back in.

How do you feel about the President and his tax returns? You'll probably avoid the question tbh. Warren's NA ancestry doesn't have s*** to do with anything tbh

She does, for one. She used it to help get into Harvard and then says she was oblivious that Harvard had her listed as a "minority." She also had herself listed as a minority in legal directories for years.

You see other people comment on it because it's been a running gag for so long. Why she claims to be a minority is anyone's guess, but this didn't come out of nowhere; she's the one that went around telling people that she was Native American. You can't really be surprised when people call her out for lying, especially when she doubles down.

Yeah, it's been going on because she faced criticism for abusing systems intended to help minorities in order to advance her own career. It was brought up in her original congressional race. It persists because she's incredibly shady about discussing this matter.

What folklore story? If she needs to take a DNA test them her parents weren't full natives either or of any significant amount. So why would native American have anything to do with their love story? I think I vaguely remember her claiming that it was a forbidden interracial romance but if their daughter is pure white looking then they both were pretty damn white too. So I am not sure I believe her parent's story

she most certainly is not

the topic came about because her political opponent tried to make it a campaign issue that she used it to get into harvard 20+ years ago

much like obama and the birthers the issue is mostly whether it's a good idea to respond to the kinds of people who make these demands, as they're unlikely to believe positive proof anyway and showing that you think they deserve a response encourages them to make up new BS and demand you respond to that, too

The topic of whether she abused a system intended to help minorities for her personal gain is certainly relevant. And her responses have never been clear on why she chose to have herself listed a minority in legal directories.

is it? to what degree?

would you say that abuse of such a system, 20 years ago, would invalidate whether a politician should hold political office ever after?

certainly they have: because she entered via a minority program.

He's the same thing. He doesn't parade around the public every chance he gets though stating how he's a minority and refuses to have his dna checked to back up what he's been openly saying for decades.

Like, if you want it blunt, at the end of the day Trump is a better person than Warren. Not by much, but enough to where it matters.

Not really seeing how those are comparable.

White trash is a derogatory term generalizing poor white people
Pocahontas is a nickname specifically mocking a white woman who (likely) lied about her heritage for personal gain
