Of course she won't.
We all know what that test will show. Pow Wow Chow knows what that test will show. It's much easier for the slightly more masculine version of Bernie Sanders to buy off American Indian activists in classic identity politics style than to put some actual skin in her racial game.
Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday ruled out a 2020 presidential run and taking a DNA test to prove Native American ancestry -- an issue that has nagged her Senate campaigns and would almost certainly create problems in a White House bid.
“I’m not running for president,” Warren, a champion of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, told “Fox News Sunday.”
Two lies. One interview.
Warren has famously eschewed combative or even probing media interviews. (Much like Bernie Sanders.) The only reasons she would go on Fox News is the same reason she did her American Indian pitch, as prep for a presidential run. But Warren is also unpopular enough in Massachusets that she doesn't want to give her opponents any more ammo by announcing that she wants to move on.
When asked Sunday whether she’d agree to calls for genetic testing to resolve the heritage controversy, Warren launched into a family history, as purportedly told by her parents and grandparents, before saying, “It’s a part of who I am, and no one’s ever going to take that away.”
Certainly not a DNA test that might actually establish who she is.
“Let me tell you a little bit about my family,” Warren said Sunday. “My mom and dad were born and raised out in Oklahoma, and my daddy was in his teens when he fell in love with my mother.
“She was a beautiful girl who played the piano. And he was head over heels in love with her and wanted to marry her. And his family was bitterly opposed to that because she was part Native American.
This isn't an answer. It's a politician's stump speech.
" I know who I am because of what my mother and my father told me, what my grandmother and my grandfather told me, what all my aunts and uncles told me and my brothers.”
The perfect My Truth response.
You can't prove I'm obviously lying, because I really believe my lies.
What better political qualification could there be?
