... I went to a drafting school in AZ and in one of my classes was native American sent by the tribe for schooling. I told him blond haired and blue-eyed me had native American blood. He asked which tribe, I told him Cherokee. He fell to the floor laughing, jumped up and said, "All you white people have Cherokee blood!!!"

My dad never mentioned the Belgium Jewish blood from his own mother.

I took a DNA test a few Christmas ago: no native American DNA, but it did find my Jewish DNA. And then found out about my Dutch Jewish great-grandfather, too, on my mother's mother's father side was Jewish DNA. When my mother's father wrote an autobiography, he included genealogy and wrote that in my grandmother's father or her grandfather there was Jewish blood. It started such a controversy. They were scandalized and denied it.

I had 100% sympathy for Elizabeth Warren and what she went through from MAGA.
