Anti-Trump crusader and possible 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren refused to answer serious questions surrounding her alleged Native American ancestry this week; bizarrely stating “I grew up in Oklahoma” when pressed on her botched DNA results.

“How do you respond to people who think that -regardless of the underlying facts- the way you handled the question of your Native American heritage was tone-deaf, offensive, and indicative of a lack of presidential tact?” asked one member of the audience at a town hall event in Mississippi.
“Well, you know, I grew up in Oklahoma. I learned about my family from my family… Based on that, that’s just kind of who I am, and I do the best with it,” said Warren.
EPIC FAIL: Sen. Warren Says She ‘Can’t Go Back’ on DNA Results, Admits She’s ‘Not a Person of Color’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren publicly admitted she’s “not a person of color” during a recent interview this week; saying she “can’t go back” on publicly releasing her DNA results.
“The question I have never understood is: Why? Why did you in 1986 fill out on your law license or something? Why did you check those boxes, because obviously that’s a very small part of your lineage? 1/32nd or something, so why did you do it?” asked former Obama advisor David Axelrod.
“I shouldn’t have done it. I’m not a person of color. I am not a citizen of a tribe, but what I try to do is to be a good friend to Native Americans and that’s why for example, I have a housing bill that fully funds housing on tribal reservations,” Warren said. “I can’t go back.”
LINDSEY’S LINEAGE: Sen. Graham to Take DNA Test, Predicts He Can ‘BEAT’ Warren
Sen. Lindsey Graham weighed-in Tuesday on Elizabeth Warren’s recent DNA results; saying he plans to take a similar test in the coming days to see if he too possesses Native American ancestry in his family tree.
Graham was speaking with Fox News when he mocked Warren’s claims; adding “I’ve been told my grandmother was part Cherokee Indian. It may all just be talk, but you’re going to find out in a couple of weeks.”

“I’m going to take a DNA test. I’ve been told my grandmother was part Cherokee Indian. It may all just be talk, but you’re going to find out in a couple of weeks. I’m going to take this test,” Graham said on Fox & Friends.
“I didn’t really think much about it. But if she’s less than one tenth of one percent, I think I can beat her,” he added.
