President dares Mrs Warren to take DNA test
President Trump on Tuesday said that if he were to ever debate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, he’d have to subject her to an ancestry test — but he’d do it “very gently” though, seeing how we’re in the #MeToo generation.
“Let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas,” Trump explained, referencing his notorious nickname for Warren while speaking at a rally in Great Falls, Montana.

“I promise you I’ll do this: I will take, you know, those little [ancestry] kits they sell on television for $2…I’m going to get one of those little kits, and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims that she is of Indian heritage because her mother said she has high cheekbones — that’s her only evidence, that her mother said she had high cheekbones — we will take that little kit…and we will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm, even thought it only weighs probably two ounces.”
Trump added, “But we have to do it gently, because we’re in the #MeToo generation — so we have to be very gentle…And we will say, ‘I will give you $1 million to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.’ And we’ll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no, but we will hold it for the debates.”
Trump has been referring to Warren as Pocahontas since at least 2016 and has regularly questioned whether she’s Native American, as she’s claimed. He joked Thursday during the Montana rally that he would apologize to Pocahontas for giving Warren the nickname, but not the senator herself.
