Cherokee Woman Blasts Elizabeth Warren: 'We've Asked Her to Stop' Claiming Our Ancestry

A Cherokee woman joined Jesse Watters to criticize Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for refusing to back down on her claim of Cherokee ancestry.

Watters said Warren was recognized by Harvard University as their first minority female faculty member after the 68-year-old applied to the job as a Native American.

"As a mixed Native woman, I get to relive the stereotypes that Warren perpetuates every day," Rebecca Nagle of Oklahoma told Watters.

"I'm not 'part-Cherokee', I am Cherokee," she said. "[We're] not bit fractions of imagined Indians that used to exist. [Warren should] take responsibility for her false claim."

Watters pointed out that Trump too has called out Warren for claiming Cherokee ancestry.

For crying out loud, Elizabeth, just get an independent DNA test done and put this comedy to rest. Ancestry.com would probably give you a freebee if you politely asked.

The only ancestry that matters is of the House of Judah.
Everybody knows that.

Go to any POW WOW and there are these pastey white people with a drop of native blood prancing around in fake feathers and sequins with nostalgic notions that they are enlightened natives that have given up teepees for trailers. It's tacky and disrespectful.
