Warren Attempts to Rescue Her Presidential Run, Apologizes for DNA Stunt
2019-02-02
[Townhall] Democrat presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren, who hasn't officially declared her candidacy for the White House, issued an apology to the Cherokee Nation this week for her DNA test stunt.

"We are encouraged by this dialogue and understanding that being a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen is rooted in centuries of culture and laws not through DNA tests," Cherokee Nation Executive Director of Communications Julie Hubbard told Tulsa World. "We are encouraged by her action and hope that the slurs and mockery of tribal citizens and Indian history and heritage will now come to an end."

Hubbard did not reveal the contents of the letter Warren sent.

In October 2018, Warren published the results of a DNA test which showed she might be 1/1024th Native American. She used this as "proof" she is Cherokee. She's actually a white woman, which we've known all along.

A reminder of the catastrophe:

#9  The only apology I want to see from her and her kind - and we've a lot of her kind in Israel, is a Japanese style (and I don't mean Yakuza type) apology.

#8  She's apologizing simply because she got caught and her stunt didn't work. Typical, its what they all do, apologize when caught.

#7  She should apologize to the people didn't get into Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania because of the way she lied and used Affirmative Action.

#6  Maybe she's apologizing for appropriating a position that should have been filled by a real native American?

#5   She is apologizing to cover all the bases. The "Cherokees" are outraged because, Cherokees or something. There was/is nothing wrong with her doing the DNA test, despite whatever the "Cherokees" say. Her biggest mistake was claiming native ancestry way back when without any evidence. Her next mistake was publicizing her DNA test and trying to make more out of nothing. I do know a former tribal chair (no relation to Cherokees) who still defends Warren (at least in private), but he's a Democrat.

#2  I'm confused. Did she apologize to the Cherokees for even attempting to prove she is part Cherokee? Or was she apologizing to the Cherokees for claiming she was part Cherokee? Or trying to be clever and combining the two apologies?
