Outgoing United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley made fun of Sen. Elizabeth Warren over her DNA test results Thursday night.

While cracking jokes during her address at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, Ms. Haley said the organizers wanted to “spice things up” after Speaker of the House Paul Ryan spoke last year.

“I get it. You wanted an Indian woman, but Elizabeth Warren failed her DNA test,” Haley said.



Ms. Warren’s test results were ridiculed on Twitter and TV news shows after they  showed she could be anywhere from 1/64 to 1/1024 Native American.

The former UN Ambassador also poked fun at President Trump over the DNA results.

“Actually, when the President found out that I was Indian-American, he asked if I was from the same tribe as Elizabeth Warren,” she said.
