On Monday Elizabeth Warren's DNA claims were supposed to make President Trump eat crow. Except they completely backfired and is now the laughingstock of this country.
The Senator and potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate was so fired up about her DNA test. She took to Twitter to fire repeated darts at President Trump and his attacks on her heritage. Her "strong evidence" was so weak that just about every American could make the same claim she did. She didn't let that slow her down though, as she took to Twitter.
Having some memory problems, @realDonaldTrump? Should we call for a doctor?
Here’s something you won’t “forget,” Mr. President: You’re the least popular president in modern history & your allies will go down hard in the midterm elections. 22 days. Tick-tock, tick-tock. pic.twitter.com/53FV0HXGXX

I took this test and released the results for anyone who cares to see because I’ve got nothing to hide. What are YOU hiding, @realDonaldTrump? Release your tax returns – or the Democratic-led House will do it for you soon enough. Tick-tock, Mr President.

NIWRC is a nonprofit working to protect Native women from violence. More than half of all Native women have experienced sexual violence, and the majority of violent crimes against Native Americans are perpetrated by non-Natives.
Send them your $1M check, @realDonaldTrump.

Then it was revealed that despite the very small amount of Indian heritage she has, there was a mistake made in The Boston Globe story that was actually doubling the amount of Indian heritage Warren has.
Warren has been mocked relentlessly since this ridiculous claim. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) took to Twitter to zing one at her.
These DNA tests are quite something. pic.twitter.com/tCHmW7pJbj

It should come as no surprise that the best taunts came from conservative actor James Woods.

#Oops At the very bottom of this article: “Correction: Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 10th generation relative. It should be 1/1,024.” - Boston Globe editors #FakeNews #Pocahontas #SeñoritaWarren @BostonGlobe https://t.co/m7x3kdfuWW

This is before she double-downed on stupid today. #Pocahontas claiming her mom was Cherokee AND “Delaware.” The breathless voice is laugh out loud ridiculous, as is she. #ElizabethWarren #SeñoritaWarren https://t.co/Oul0RnkpWk

Meanwhile she’s 1/1024th Peruvian, Mexican, or Colombian. Maybe. #AztecElizabethWarren #SeñoritaWarren #Liewatha https://t.co/Oul0RnkpWk

But if he just stiffs her, it’s even funnier. #Pocahontas1024thMiniMe https://t.co/nAfsZkeovC

An official from Cherokee Nation address Warren's statement with this rebuttal:
“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong,” said Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven.”
When Woods found out about this story he came back to Twitter to continue his assault on Warren:

"Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation is inappropriate and wrong...dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens. Senator Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage." https://t.co/LaTyTSg8R1

God bless James Woods. One of the only conservatives in Hollywood who openly shares his conservative views.
Whether you are a conservative or not, it's easy to see that Senator Warren is clearly claiming to be something she's not.
Who on Warren's staff thought that moving forward with this claim was a good idea? This was a ridiculous idea from the start and should have never been given the green light.
