Ayyadurai is running on the slogan: “Only a real Indian can defeat the fake Indian.”

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warrenrefused to take a DNA test mailed to her by Indian-American entrepreneur V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, who’s running against her for her U.S. Senate seat.

“I’m deeply saddened @SenWarren refused my thoughtful (gift-wrapped) Birthday Gift: the 23&me DNA Test Kit,” Ayyadurai tweeted Sunday. “Most unfortunate! #FakeIndian.”

Ayyadurai then posted hilarious screenshots of a DNA test kit he purchased online as a birthday gift for Warren, who turned 68 in June.




Warren reportedly used her fake Native-American heritage to benefit from affirmative action hiring programs that should have benefited ACTUAL Native-Americans.

In 2012, Warren admitted that she told Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania she was Native American while applying for teaching jobs (not surprisingly, she was quickly recruited by both).

Exhaustive investigations have turned up no evidence that “Faux-cahontas” is Native-American.
