Jason Chaffetz Mocks Elizabeth Warren With Native American Statue Photo, Twitter Flips

David Moye

Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) might have set himself up for selfie-inflicted damage Thursday.

Now a Fox News contributor, he posted a photo on Twitter that mocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)

His post was in reference to her recent release of DNA test results that showed, as she has long claimed, evidence of a Native American ancestor six to 10 generations ago.

Many Twitter users found the photo evidence that Chaffetz has a serious personality defect: casual racism.

Chaffetz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
