Trump Resumes Attack On Warren: 'Turned Out I Have More Indian Blood In Me Than She Has'
- 6 years ago
President Trump again went after Elizabeth Warren on Saturday.
President Trump on Saturday continued his long-enduring charge against Senator Elizabeth Warren and her Native American ancestry.
He brought up Warren during a speech at the annual convention of the Future Farmers of America in Indiana, hours after the deadly mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
"I'll be debating a Democrat," Trump said while talking about the 2020 presidential election. "Although I don't know, maybe Elizabeth Warren is gone. She may be gone."
"What a sad thing happened to her," he continued. "Turned out that I have more Indian blood in me than she has. What a sad event. And I have none."
In the recent past, Trump has also posted multiple tweets attacking Warren. Earlier this month, he tweeted: "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!" Trump continued. In another tweet, he wrote: "Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!" The DNA test taken by the Senator indicated "strong evidence" of a Native American ancestor from between six and ten generations ago. Notably, the Cherokee Nation has, indeed, criticized Warren, stating that her claim of Native American ancestry is "undermining tribal interests." The senator issued a response, noting: "DNA and family history has nothing to do with tribal affiliation or citizenship, which is determined only — only — by Tribal Nations…I respect the distinction, & don't list myself as Native in the Senate."
