The Today Show audience laughed at Elizabeth Warren as some on the panel mocked her fraudulent DNA test results. Megyn Kelly took the issue on with all guns blazing.
WARREN’S MORE LIKELY MEXICAN
Warren is at most 1/64th to 1/1024 percent Native-American, if she is at all. The tester compared her DNA to that of Mexicans, Peruvians, and Columbians who shared an ancestor 15,000 to 25,000 years ago. No Native-American DNA was tested. She’s more likely Mexican, Peruvian or Columbian.
โIt turns out the best-case scenario for [Warren] is that sheโs got a great-great-great-great grandparent who might be Native American,โ NBCโs Megyn Kelly said. โBut it turns out she might just be one-out-of-1,024-part Native American which would mean her ancestor would predate the formation of the country.โ
Kelly pointed out that the reason this is controversial is because Warren represented herself as Native American while at Harvard Law School and at the University of Pennsylvania.
โShe contributed to a Native American cookbook called โPow Wow Chow,โ calling herself Cherokee,โ Kelly added, at which the audience laughed. [She also plagiarized the favorite recipe of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor]
โOne-out-of-1,024, I donโt even know how to say that,โ Kelly said. โThat does not allow you to say youโre a Cherokee.โ
Morgan Radford, a reporter for NBC News, defended Warren. She suggested that because many โblack and brown peopleโ had to rely on oral tradition for their heritage because of slavery, that it is then unfair that we demand โpapersโ from Warren to prove whether sheโs Native American. She also tried to argue that Warren wasnโt โusingโ this to benefit herself. โAcknowledging it isnโt using it.โ
Kelly reminded her that Warren sold herself as the first Native American professor at Harvard Law School.
SHE THINKS SHE’S NATIVE, THEREFORE SHE IS
The idea was then thrown out to the panel that Warren saw herself as Native-American, therefore she is.
Kelly said we were just told that a young high school girl was guilty of ‘cultural appropriation’ when she wore a kimono prom dress. That is exactly what Warren is doing when she “at best is probably similar to most Americans in this country, none of whom check the box.”
When Jacob Soboroff asked Kelly if she thought Trump owed her a million dollars, Kelly said she didn’t think he did.
โI donโt think he does, because you know why? If you look at what he said, he said Iโll make the donation if you prove that youโre an Indian. Thatโs to quote him,โ Kelly said. โDid Elizabeth Warren just prove that sheโs an Indian? Did she?
