U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren addressed claims of her Native American heritage Wednesday while delivering remarks at the National Congress of American Indians, and insisted that her mother’s Cherokee ancestry is not a fabrication.
“My mother’s family was part Native American,” Warren said. “And my daddy’s parents were bitterly opposed to their relationship.
“So, in 1932, when Mother was 19 and Daddy had just turned 20, they eloped.”
Warren’s remarks focused on the “Pocahontas” taunts frequently lobbed at her by President Donald Trump, with whom she has sparred with numerous times on social media. During her speech, Warren sought to debunk the “Pocahontas myth” — the “fairy tale” story about the purported Jamestown romance between the Indian chief’s daughter and the Englishman John Smith.
“In the fairy tale, Pocahontas and John Smith meet and fall in love,” Warren said. “Except Smith was nearly 30, and Pocahontas was about 10 years old, whatever happened between them, it was no love story.”
The Cambridge Democrat, who is up for re-election in November, criticized the story as “a fable used to bleach away the stain of genocide.”

Warren is an IDIOT!! Pocahantas married John Rolfe, not John Smith.
God help us.
This woman is SO full of herself, not to mention an overabundance of crap.
Pocahontas was never in love with, never "dated", and certainly never married John Smith! She married John Rolfe and died in England, probably from smallpox.
Worth 25 million never mentions how she made millions on 165k a year. The more liberal, lying and radical the more money they make. #warrenthe1%er#Fakecherokee
The more she blabbers, the more $$ comes in from people who think that she's just the cat's pajamas.
She should be made to have a DNA test.
Exactly, 6:28 if she really wants to shut people up who call her Fauxcahontas just get a DNA test or even do your family tree on Ancestry.com. Heck, I bet that show "Who Do You Think You Are" would love to run a show on her.
She's a typical democrat-a liar. If she were truthful she would do a DNA and broadcast it all over if she were in fact Native American. All she is is a nasty gross foul liar.
