Conway responds to Warren DNA test: 'Junk science' that 'really doesn't interest me'

[left-of-center2012]

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Monday dismissed Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) DNA test revealing her Native American ancestry, calling it "junk science."

"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. But I haven’t looked at the DNA test and it really doesn’t interest me,” Conway added.

The DNA analysis was conducted by Carlos Bustamante, a Stanford University professor who specializes in biomedical data science and genetics. Warren then gave the results to The Boston Globe.

Warren on Monday reminded the president that he once promised to give her $1 million if she could prove her Native American ancestry. Trump on Monday denied ever pledging to give her $1 million. "Who cares?" he said. "I didn't say that. Nope, you better read it again."

5. This will not play well

Particularly to the tens of millions who have authenticated their family ancestry through state-of-the-art DNA testing. In a larger sense, nothing of a scientific nature matters to this mindset. Climate change? A ''hoax", even though the global and regional impacts are increasingly manifest as each year goes by.
