President Donald Trump mocked Democratic Senator and likely 2020 candidate Elizabeth Warren in a tweet this morning, reposting a meme from the conservative site The Daily Wire that mocked the lawmaker as 1/2020th Native American.

The attacks against Warrens ethnicity have circulated in conservative circles for some time, with many mocking her for allegedly being less Native American than she claims to be. After months of Trump referring to her as Pocahontas, Warren finally released results from a DNA test that showed she had a distant ancestor who was Native American. The results also proved she is not Native American herself.
In October, Trump slammed Warren as a total fraud on Twitter in regards to her ethnicity.

The era she entered college was pre-internet... there were no DNA tests,.and even there had been they would have been too expensive to conduct.
For some minorities, the obvious identifiers were there, but for many they are not obvious, so family lore comes into play..
