Trump Bashes ‘Complete and Total Fraud’ Elizabeth Warren After Cherokee Nation Rejects DNA Results
It was inevitable. President Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to rip Senator Elizabeth Warren over her claims to Native American heritage.
In a move that generated speculation yesterday about a presidential run, Warren released the results of a DNA test she took in order to prove her claims of Native American ancestry. Shortly afterwards, Cherokee Nation rejected her test and accused her of “undermining tribal interests.” Now, Trump’s calling her a “phony” and bringing back his “Pocahontas” slur.
Pocahontas (the bad version), sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren, is getting slammed. She took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, “DNA test is useless.” Even they don’t want her. Phony!

Now that her claims of being of Indian heritage have turned out to be a scam and a lie, Elizabeth Warren should apologize for perpetrating this fraud against the American Public. Harvard called her “a person of color” (amazing con), and would not have taken her otherwise!

Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!

While the test confirmed Warren’s distant Native American heritage, the ancestry percentage in her test came out to about 1/1,024, which has reignited the controversy of her claims. These Trump tweets come after he said yesterday that he would only accept proof of Warren’s heritage “if I can test her personally.”
