MATH ERROR! Fauxcahontas’ DNA Test Results Are Even WORSE Than We Thought…

Dear LORD, this is absolutely pathetic.

As Hannah mentioned earlier, Elizabeth Warren released DNA results “proving” she was “part Indian.”

They prove the exact opposite… but don’t tell that to the Boston Globe.

WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren has released a DNA test that provides “strong evidence’’ she had a Native American in her family tree dating back 6 to 10 generations, an unprecedented move by one of the top possible contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.

That “strong evidence” isn’t actually strong AT ALL when you break the ACTUAL RESULTS down…

Elizabeth Warren DNA test does NOT prove she’s Native American, contrary to the hype https://t.co/pzcnb2zsZP pic.twitter.com/24lnwn4lQZ

PS

I’m so old, I remember when The Boston Globe was forced to retract the claim that Elizabeth Warren’s great-great-great grandmother was Native American, yet it gets resurrected in the DNA story w/out any new proof https://t.co/FaNKZtHNME https://t.co/l0ERdvrT3S pic.twitter.com/clbiIJNqk1

So um… how does this “test” help AT ALL?

So what was Warren’s original reason for claiming she was Native American? Still can’t point to a specific ancestor or tribe, so it would appear that high cheekbones and family lore about being Cherokee were very dubious reasons. Minuscule DNA doesn’t speak to her being honest.

And how does her ridiculous “my parents eloped because my mother was an indian” story tie into this?

But wait… the article even got the MATH wrong:

The credulous reporter who wrote the Warren DNA piece didn’t do the math correctly (and this is before getting into why the particular test, which didn’t even use American Indian DNA to compare, was garbage). Six generations removed is 1/64. Ten removed is 1/1024 (0.098%).

Yeeeeeah… 1/1024 (0.098%).

But she’s gonna wave this around as proof?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Elizabeth Warren DNA pitch meeting:
WARREN: I’m an American Indian!
MEDIA: So, like 50%?
W: Lower.
MEDIA: 25%?
W: Actually 0.0976%.
MEDIA: Perfect! And they used Cherokee DNA to test against?
W: Nope!
MEDIA: Any Indian DNA?
W: Mainly Mexican.
MEDIA: These results are solid!

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
