Fauxcahontas' DNA test show she may have less Native Indian in her than average Euro-American

Sen. Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren (D-Mass.) heavily promoted a DNA test to determine whether she's a liar about having actual Native American heritage or is the real deal.

Well, the test came back and shows that she likely does have some Native-American ancestry . . . just somewhat less than the average European American. In other words, I probably have more Native American in me than she does, and if you're a European American, so do you.

Warren shared DNA results Monday to examine her long-challenged Native-American claim. According to the results, as first reported by The Boston Globe, "the vast majority" of Warren's family tree is European and there is "strong evidence" she has Native-American ancestry "in the range of 6 to 10 generations ago."

So this means she might be  anywhere between 1/64 and 1/1,024 Native American. The chance that she is not Native American might be 50-50, but Vegas isn't getting involved in this one.

Her claim of being Native American is based on a trace amount of that heritage. A trace amount, like a fart in outer space. This should have never given Warren the right to claim minority status, as she did years ago at Harvard, according to her accusers.

"Warren might even be less Native American than the average European American," RNC spokesman Mike Reed said in a statement Monday. He also cited a 2014 study that put her claims in perspective.

The study was the largest-ever genetic profile of the United States and was based on 160,000 people. It examined the average Native-American ancestry for Americans--including European, African and Latino Americans.

The New York Times also reported on the study and according to the study, "European-Americans had genomes that were on average 98.6 percent European, .19 percent African, and .18 percent Native American."

If Fauxcahontas is 10 generations removed from a Native-American ancestor, she would be no more Native American [.09 percent] than any of the groups studied in that research. If she's 1/64 Native American, it amounts to 1.5 percent, or greater than the average European American.

My guess is she's closer to the 1/1,024 number.

I suspect even President Trump has more Native American in him than she has. He likes to call her "Pocahontas" and while he denied it, he said that he'd give her $1 million to a charity of her choice if her DNA showed Native American ancestry.

He probably should have said that it had to be above the average European American.
