Bury My DNA Results at Wounded Knee

She Already Knows What The Outcome Will Be And So Do We

On Thursday night, President Trump flew to Montana to headline a rally for Matt Rosendale, the Republican Senate nominee running against Democrat Jon Tester this November.

CNN’s Politics Reporter and Editor-at-Large, Chris Cillizza, didn’t watch the rally.  Instead he sifted through the transcript and proclaimed his speech “contained a number genuinely dangerous lines, lines no President before Trump would even consider uttering among a small group of friends─much less in front of thousands of people.”  He settled on eleven statements he considers pose a “real risk to the body populace.”

I’ll save you the burden of reading his dreck on ten of those lines and focus on the one that was genuinely amusing because it was the first time Trump rolled it out and it was a real beaute.

“I shouldn’t tell you because I don’t like giving away secrets,” Trump said.  “But let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas.  I promise you I’ll do this:  I will take, you know those little kits they sell on television where you learn your heritage…in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims that she is of Indian heritage because her mother said she has high cheekbones, that is her only evidence, her mother said we have high cheekbones," Trump continued.

“We’ll take that little kit─but we have to do it gently.  Because we’re in the #MeToo generation, we have to do it gently.  And we will very gently take that kit, and slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t injure her arm, and we will say:  ‘I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.'”

Here’s what Cillizza had to say:

Truly remarkable. In his usual riff about the questions surrounding Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's claims of Native-American heritage, Trump shows his true colors on the #MeToo movement. He seems to suggest that the movement, which grew out of a series of news stories of powerful men sexually harassing women, is about political correctness run rampant. Trump seems to think -- or at least say -- that he has to be careful not to offend the #MeToo movement by throwing a DNA heritage kit at Warren. Which both deeply misunderstands what the #MeToo movement is about and denigrates the entire idea of women feeling safe to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct.

According to NBC News, yes that NBC News, there is no documented proof [emphasis mine] that Warren is descended from Native Americans.

Warren has not provided any. Genealogists who have investigated her history have found her relatives to be listed as white in historical documents like the Census and do not appear in the Indian documents typically used to verify claims of Native American ancestry, like the Dawes Rolls.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society initially said they had proof that she was 1/32nd Native American, only to later backtrack and say they did not have definitive proof. They declined to comment for this story.

Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes traced Warren's maternal family back four generations to the turn of the 19th century; the records listed all members as white. She could not find Warren’s family in any of the 45 Indian records and documents she reviewed for a detailed report.

Carpe Donktum’s tweet this morning requesting the reveal of the test results be televised and hosted by tabloid talk show host Maury Povich inspired me.

Be honest, tossing Warren a DNA test at a 2020 presidential debate would be ratings gold.

We already know the results and so does she, but Trump’s zinger yesterday is going to haunt her for the next two years.

You Magnificent Bastard

It would be hard to find someone who is not familiar with the 2012 report by The Boston Globe regarding Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s failure to furnish any tribal documentation or genealogical evidence of her Native American heritage.

The Globe reported that Warren identified herself as Native American to Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania, when she taught at both schools, in order to use her "minority status" as a way to further her career.

Entrepreneur, MIT graduate and Republican candidate V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai announced in February he would be running for the US Senate seat currently held by Pocahontas.

Last week, Ayyadurai—who proudly refers to himself as a "real Indian"—threw a jab at Warren by sending her an all-expenses-paid DNA test kit from 23&Me.  Clearly unamused, Pocahontas refused the challenger’s gift.

I'm deeply saddened @SenWarren refused my thoughtful (gift-wrapped) Birthday Gift: the 23&me DNA Test Kit. Most unfortunate! #FakeIndian pic.twitter.com/BI7F20wDW8

Since @SenWarren refused it, perhaps you could give it to @ChelseaClinton and @WebbHubbell.https://t.co/QUpJh36q1V

You Will Never Shame Me For Making Jokes About Elizabeth Warren

On the eve of his 100th day in office, President Trump addressed the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Atlanta.

"The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end," Trump said to raucous cheers. "You have a true friend and champion in the White House.  To the NRA, I can proudly say:  I will never, ever let you down."

The President was clearly comfortable speaking to the convention attendees and even predicted the organization would endorse him in the 2020 presidential election.   He chuckled at the thought of Democrats failing to persuade the group’s members with promises of “common sense gun control measures.”

"I have a feeling that in the next election, you're going to be swamped with candidates," Trump said. "It may be Pocahontas, remember that."

“Pocahontas” is the nickname Trump gave Sen. Elizabeth Warren while on the campaign trail.  Many on the right have given her other monikers like “Fauxcahontas” and “Lieawatha”.  Our betters on the left were apoplectic over the “slur”.  At least Trump didn’t lie about being Cherokee to steal a university position from a bona fide Native American.  

I'm going to absolutely love Media going all in on Warren's Cherokee lie after years of lecturing cultural appropriation.

Senator Warren can read her letter on the Senate floor if she agrees to read it in her native Cherokee language

#ElizabethWarren lied about being an Indian and stole someone else's spot in college

She needs to be taken down a peg or two #WDShow🎙

I'll say this for you, Lizzie: You are a pants-shitter of the first order. Most Indians don't use their own feces as warpaint, either. FYI. https://t.co/YOgRhqDZis
