President Trump said that he has more Native American ancestry than Senator Elizabeth Warren during his rally in Mesa, Arizona on Friday night.
The Boston Globe originally claimed on Monday that the DNA test revealed Warren was somewhere between 1/32 and 1/512 Native American, however they then corrected their story saying the numbers are actually between 1/64 and 1/1,024.

“I can’t use the word Pocahontas anymore. There’s no Indian blood. I always said, ‘I have more Indian blood than she has, and I have none. I have none, and it’s more than she has. I don’t know we’ll have to come up with another name,” the president continued.
Trump was rallying for multiple GOP members including Senate candidate Rep. Martha McSally and Governor Doug Ducey.
