President Donald Trump said Sen. Elizabeth Warren should apologize to the country for claiming Native American heritage, in a Monday appearance while touring areas effected by Hurricane Michael.


Trump was asked whether he owes Warren an apology after she released results of a DNA test showing she is somewhere between 1/64 to 1/1024 Native American.


“She owes the country an apology. What is the percentage? 1/1000th,” he asked back.

When questioned about whether he would continue his pledge to donate 1 million dollars to charity if she could prove her ancestry, Trump replied “I will only do it if I can test her personally. That will not be something that I enjoy doing.”

Trump previously dismissed Warren’s test results saying “who cares.”

He hasn't got the background to test her personally. What does that even mean?

No need to have a nasty attitude. Like I believe you've shouted at me in the past - if you were clear in your comment, we might not think you were wrong.

Although, in some ways, claiming ancestry can be claiming association with a tribe if only through insinuation. And I'm sure you know that. Take the Cherokee Nation's statement on Warren the same way you take other NA statements on President Trump. They are not happy with what is being said.

For the 50th time, she never claimed to be a part of a tribe so that is meaningless.

I apologise sincerely but when you have to repeat something over and over and people pretend you said nothing or they merely repeat their lies it is a bit aggravating.

That isn't the way it works with tribes. Just having a bloodline to a tribe does not make you a part of the tribe. I am NA.

She claimed to have NA ancestry which she has now proven. Not that she was a part of any tribe.

I know my Grandmother on my Mom's side was part NA and my Aunt is full-blooded but married into the family. I'm sure some of my Grandmother's genes passed to me, but it's so small I would never say I have NA ancestry. And I clearly have more than Warren.

I think this whole thing today has hurt her more than helped her.
