A descendent of Pocahontas wants Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren to take a DNA test to verify her claims of Native American ancestry.
“I respect Sen. Warren as a U.S. senator … but I just wish she’d take the DNA test,” Debbie White Dove Porreco told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.
Porreco said the DNA test would “end a lot of this controversy” about Warren’s Cherokee heritage.
“If she was American Indian, I would be the first one to welcome her into our heritage,” she said.
Warren has said her mother’s family is Cherokee, but she has little hard evidence to back her claims up.
Critics have accused the Massachusetts Democrat of using her heritage to advance her academic career.
President Trump has repeatedly referred to her as “Pocahontas,” which she has said is “racist.” Porreco said she was recently called “Pocahontas” and was not offended by the remark.
