US Senator Elizabeth Warren has revealed that a DNA test shows "strong evidence" that she has distant Native American ancestry.

She took the test after President Donald Trump taunted her in speeches, calling her a "fake Pocahontas" and challenging her to take the test.

The DNA test suggests Ms Warren has a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations.

Many believe the Democrat is preparing for a presidential bid in 2020.

What exactly was revealed?

Ms Warren, who is up for re-election in Massachusetts, shared the report along with a video of family and colleagues discussing her heritage on Monday.

The DNA report was conducted by geneticist Carlos Bustamante of Stanford.

"The vast majority" of Ms Warren's ancestry is European, it concludes, but "the results strongly support" a Native American ancestor.

This puts Ms Warren as between 1/32 and 1/512 Native-American, according to the Boston Globe.

Ms Warren herself is not a part of any native tribe. While the results of the test do confirm there is native heritage in Ms Warren's family tree, critics could still point out how imprecise these DNA tests can be.

The senator's accompanying video begins with a clip of the president mocking her at a rally, saying: "She said she's Native-American and I said, Pocahontas!"

Pocahontas was the daughter of a 17th Century indigenous chief.

The video shows Ms Warren's family - including brothers who say they are Republicans - criticizing the president's taunts.

A cousin who is identified as being a member of the Cherokee Nation adds: "It's offensive to me, not just as Betsy's cousin, but as a Native-American."

What an idiot, she is no more native American than me, I also have roots in my blood but at least I Look more native American than her with my darker skin tone, dark brown eyes and hair that looks almost black.

And here it is, like I said over here: the brigade of idiots have followed their marching orders.

[Xyonai]

All she did was prove that the ancestry was there, Despite Trump's taunts. I guess it was to try and prove a point, but why even bother trying to appease that unapologetic jackass anyway?

And she has Native American roots, just like she said.

SO, are the Trumpsters going to stop with their lies and bullshit?

The Magic 8 Ball says, "It does not appear so."

It's almost as if the Trumspters are working on marching orders.

She should not have given in to those drooling morons. Nobody else gives a fuck.

Yeah after finding out "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.

I wouldn't have even mentioned it, she sounds like a loon. It's not even 100% definitive.

Wait, so she's an idiot because her DNA test proved she has trace native american ancestry?

I'm confused. Could you give me the Trump supporter liner notes you're following so I can understand better? I'm not sure what talking point you are parroting here.

[lockedout]

And she has Native American roots, just like she said.

She might have native American roots.

Why, she took the time to prove you Trumpsters to be full of shit. It's the birther issue all over again. Trump and his goon squad looked like racist douchebags for the birther movement, now they just look like... well, lying douchebags.

She might have native American roots.

Great, just like she said.

I'll wait for the Trumspters to admit they were being disingenuous douchebags.

Oh wait, they still won't admit they were wrong about Obama and his birth certificate.

I find funnier that the people who actually give a fuck about this are the ones calling her crazy for it.

[Hobb]

Ah but she did release it publicly backing up her claim.

So where's Trump's tax return backing up his claim he did nothing wrong?

I am 1/512th black, Harvard here I come.

Stay classy, Drudge!

Nah, you still wouldn't get in.

Well we all know cadet bone spurs would never actually pay up. The moron lied about donating to veterans, was called on it and still nothing came of it. Hell at this point he probably might not even have a million in his own bank account.

So . . . her DNA test provides evidence that she has some native american blood, but you still refuse to accept it. Like a typical Trumpster.

Besides . . .

"I shouldn't tell you because I like to not give away secrets," Trump said. "But let's say I'm debating Pocahontas. I promise you I'll do this: I will take, you know those little kits they sell on television... learn your heritage!"

"We will take that little kit -- but we have to do it gently. Because we're in the #MeToo generation, we have to do it gently," the president trolled. "And we will very genlty take that kit, and slowly toss it, hoping it doesn't injure her arm, and we will say: I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian."

Pay up!

[Adam Jensen]

And honestly, if the worst you've got on Warren is "she was wrong about her ancestry!" then I guess Dems are secure for winning in 2020.

[kaelleria]

The current leader of the Cherokee nation has the same amount of native american ancestry as she does...

She did this because her opponent in MA is giving her shit just like Trump was and it cuts off attacks for when she runs for 2020.

[Adam Jensen]

This is going to be great.

Election 2020. I can't wait:

"Donald Trump lied about his taxes, his tariffs hurt American manufacturing. He passed a massive tax cut for the rich that left the poor behind, put America into further debt just to benefit the rich. He put cronies into the EPA, the Dep. Education. He pulled us out of the Paris Accords and got laughed at on the world stage. He cozied up with Kim and Putin and sold weapons to Saudi Arabia despite strong evidence they murdered a journalist, an American resident. He let 3000 Americans die in Puerto Rico, and mocked a sexual assault victim at a rally."

"Elizabeth Warren is Pocahantas!!!!!!!!!!1111one!!!"

God I can't wait.
