“I think I can beat her!” – Lindsey Graham announces new DNA challenge to Big Chief Elizabeth Warren

by The Right Scoop

This morning Lindsey Graham was on Fox and Friends where he announced a new DNA challenge to Big Chief Elizabeth Warren.

Graham said that he’s submitting to a DNA test because he really wants to see if he’s got more Cherokee Indian in his heritage than Warren.

Graham joked that he thinks he can beat Warren’s percentage of Cherokee because he said he’s always heard that his grandmother was part Cherokee.

He said he’ll announce it on Fox and Friends.

It’s hilarious how badly this DNA test has turned out for Warren. Even CNN’s liberal Chris Cillizza is noting that Warren might have made things worse:

Twenty-four hours after Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren shocked the political world with a five-minute video (and a mountain of documentation) aimed at putting to bed the controversy over her claims of Native American heritage, it’s becoming increasingly clear the strategy amounts to a swing and a miss.

Warren’s goal was to take the issue of her heritage off the table for nervous Democrats and to show that she was ready, willing and able to stand up to President Donald Trump if and when the time came that she was the party’s nominee against him in 2020. The problem is that, when you strip away all of the glitz of her well-produced video, you are left with this: There’s still no certainty that Warren is, in any meaningful way, Native American.

What Warren was trying to do with this video and DNA test then is show fellow Democrats that she was ready to fight back and had the firepower to rebut any attacks by Trump. A good idea — in theory! But, in practice, things are working out less well. Because Warren is not able to provide an answer on her Native American background that seems to totally and completely pass the smell test.
