The person from the Cherokee nations (IIRC) said it proves nothing as far as membership, which is true. But even if that small amount at potentially 1/1024th were Cherokee and they could trace it back with the records, then in certain groups within the Cherokee nations she would be eligible for membership. DNA just does nothing to gain that.

Honestly, this is just the most asinine thing for people to be discussing right now because the hot takes are so very bad.

Of all the things someone can do listing "native american" has part of ones heritage is an issue that can rile up white boys who think they didn't get that teaching job at Harvard because of it. 

That's why Trump stays on it.  Not because it is important but because he can make fun of a "minority" while at the same time rile the base up that a minority got something "extra" that white people didn't get.

That's all it is.  And if anyone publicly called Trump out his minions will spin it as "they think we're ALL racist". 

So her getting some form of proof is the only thing she can do.  Now he can't make the claim legitimately to the general public even though his followers will believe it no matter what.

You guys do realize who had the study done and who brought the results of the DNA study into this thread to give us "more asinine things to talk about" don't you? So trying to lump this one in with the usual "cause Trump" has about as much merit as the rest. 

What did Warren prove by releasing the results? That she was right when she listed her self as a minority? That Trump was wrong for pointing it out? That she truly is Native American? As I said this test most likely hurt her more than it helped; she should have just rolled with folks understanding that Trump just talks out his ass from time to time instead of this "proof" that she truly is Native American.
