OMG, I'm really pissed off at Snopes. Here is a link to their page:

Did Trump Offer $1 Million If Elizabeth Warren Could Show Native American Heritage?

And look at how they worded the claim under examination:
President Donald Trump offered to donate $1 million to a charity of Sen. Elizabeth Warren's choice if she would take a DNA test to demonstrate that she had Native American ancestry.
Snopes made it sound like all Warren had to do was take a DNA test, but it was clear that the test has to PROVE she is Native-American.

The writer of that page then spends an extraordinary amount of effort detailing Trump's supposed walking back of his promise.

NEVER did the writer doubt that Elizabeth Warren supposedly "won" that bet.

NEVER did the writer question the basis for her "victory," namely that at best, she is 1/64 Native-American, and at worst 1/1024. That's really weak.

NEVER did the writer mention that she did not meet the standards officially put forthy by the Cherokee nation.

I really can't believe that Snopes would be THIS blatant in their bias. Yet they are now being relied upon by Facebook, Google, and other so-called "fact checkers."
