The genetic tests are in and have determined the strong percentage of Senator Elizabeth Warren's  American Indian ancestry. Now none can dare question her heritage which has finally been firmly established.

Networks Circle the Wagons for Warren’s Laughable Heritage Claims

What was supposed to be a rebuke of President Trump’s ridicule ended up drawing more laughs from most and scorn from others. In an overly dramatized campaign video out Monday, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) released the results of a DNA test that suggested she did have a Native American ancestor. The catch?
