“I’m going to get one of those little [DNA testing] kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage…,” Trump said. “And we will say, ‘I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity, 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.”

The president may need to track down his checkbook. The Boston Globe reported overnight:

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.

Warren, whose claims to Native American blood have been mocked by President Trump and other Republicans, provided the test results to the Globe on Sunday in an effort to defuse questions about her ancestry that have persisted for years. She planned an elaborate rollout Monday of the results as she aimed for widespread attention.

As the Globe reported, the analysis was conducted by Stanford University’s Carlos Bustamante, a renowned scholar and expert in the field, who concluded that the results “strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”

What a disaster. Even Warren's own party is calling this a PR nightmare, for her to come out with this right before the midterms.

Now the Cherokee Indian nation has called out this whole stunt too. The test was bogus too. It's truly amazing how all these Leftists can be so intellectually smart, and yet have zero common sense.

I agree, she has been fully exposed with her bogus claim of being a "Native American" to get into college. At best she is 1/64th, that means one of her great, great grandparents was a native American (at best) and it is much more likely that this person was only partially Native American, perhaps 1/16th. This justifies Trump calling her out on this.
