Diamond and Silk, African-American Republican activists and supporters of President Donald Trump, ripped Sen. Elizabeth Warren's, D-Mass., latest political maneuver in using a DNA test to show she has Native American heritage.
"That's just like us saying because we have one ounce of African blood in us we are Africans," Lynnette Hardaway, aka Diamond, told Newsmax TV's "America Talks Live" on Monday. "No, we are black Americans here in the United States because we were born on this soil. We've never been to Africa."

Diamond questioned whether Warren's Native American claim was designed to "pander to minorities," but regardless, it was shaky politics.
"It backfired in her face," Diamond told hosts John Cardillo and Dr. Gina Loudon. "I don't care what kind of ounce she had – the 1 percent – it still does not make her Native America to us because you didn't live that lifestyle, you didn't live down that history, you didn't go down that path. You don't know their core culture. You just picked up something and ran with it.
"And, now she's looking silly today because of it."
