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— V.A. SHIVA (@va_shiva) July 2, 2017
Since @SenWarren refused it, perhaps you could give it to @ChelseaClinton and @WebbHubbell.https://t.co/QUpJh36q1V— Michael Liu (@spyguy8080) July 2, 2017
