'Junk science': Kellyanne Conway blows off Elizabeth Warren's Native American DNA test results

Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Donald Trump, on Monday suggested that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) had used “junk science” to prove that she had Native American ancestors.

The Boston Globe on Monday released the results of DNA test performed by a Stanford University professor. The test found that Warren likely had Native American ancestors in her family 6 to 10 generations ago.

But Conway hinted that Trump will continue to refer to Warren by the racist nickname “Pocahontas.”

“I haven’t looked at the test,” Conway told CNN’s Abby Phillip. “I know that everybody likes to pick their junk science or sound science depending on the conclusion it seems some days.”

Also why the fuck does Kellyann want to see the test? Is she more qualified to analyze results than the Stanford professor?

This wasn't some "23 and Me" cheek swab. Is Conway saying that DNA testing is junk science? Because there's a lot of men and women currently serving time in prison based on DNA testing of crime scene evidence.

And, I supposed that since it's "junk science", law enforcement should stop using it to lock up criminals? (Most likely, she hates that it's been used to exonerate wrongly-accused men of color.)

If the test showed she didn’t have Native American heritage, it would be, “DNA tests are 100% accurate! Get over it, anti-science Libs!”

These people are complete losers.

I don’t think she’s human. She looks like what you’d get if you crossed an iguana and a Komodo monitor.

after his short form BC was released, they insisted it was fraudulent and insisted on the original long form and then they wouldn't accept the authenticity of the state of Hawaii certification of the long form.

...why give in to the pressure to prove to the odious racist, traitor and self admitted sexual predator that she's native American, like Obama having to prove to him that he was a born citizen...who the hell does he think he is GOD. He ll no, he can come meirda (eat shit) is what she should have said..then move on. Why do it? He didn't believe Obama, now the narrative on Warren well its "junk science" ...you can't satisfy racist bigots they will always be that. Michael Avanatti has got it right when they go low hit them harder; Holder's got it right..when the go low kick them..of course he meant it literally; Rep.Maxine Waters throws what the vile man in WH sprews out-- back at him...we' re avail no trump is evil.

Caving in to his, gop demands does not work..this when the go low we go high is bullshite, smug and elitist and it sure as he ll didnt work in 2916 won' t work now. His disrespectful use of a young woman's name who was violently ganged raped and murdered by her white English captors is criminal; and her tribe should not allow him to continue; he is using her name to insult Warren, not as an honor..which it is! Instead of dna test (I know for her it is about her statement of native American ancestry on college admittance) all she had to tell vile racist in WH...thank you for the honor and by the way-- that 's Princess Pochanatus to you ! Each time just look into the camera on any program or on floor of congress and say fuck you racist pig or prove that i'm not or stfu..or come meirda you racist pig! Leave it at that and move on. Shock the he'll out of him ( not advocating violence ...we democrats don't do violence, not liars, not evil) he says what he wants; spews hate propaganda and lies almost every day about non white, non Christian, lgbt immigrants and refugees, women, liberals (now we are evil..no he's evil, the epitomy of evil ! Do we hear our side saying that on MSN?)

Well, the damage is done'--she caved, lost whatever poder power she had; she lost to the racist bully--he won! You see dna test wasn't the only issue he has ...he was going to dispute findings just as he questioned Obama's birthcertificate..it was also a racist fog horn to his base...about Native Americans.

God how I wished she would not have done dna test..por que to appease him? Warren like Hillary is highly qualified, educated, knowledgeable exerienced politician ...would be our next president not Biden not Sanders...SHE IS! Now trump, his sycophants will be relentless on "junkdna" as Conway did today. Giving into a bully never works. You're damned if you do damned if you don't ...so what do with when you encounter bully--you don't submit..ever! We have encountered a racist bigoted bully -- trump/republican party? What do we do? Get in their face caraycara face toface ..call them out on their lies..using short quips... using facts; resist..vote them out of office! Next highly over qualified woman(because a woman have to be ) to be President is Senator Kamala Harris !
