Former Republican lawmaker Jason Chaffetz mocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Thursday by posing with a wooden statue of a Native American, joking that it was the Massachusetts Democrat.

“At Disneyland today with Senator Elizabeth Warren,” Chaffetz tweeted.

Warren has been criticized and made fun of for releasing DNA test results earlier this week in an effort to prove her ancestry claims. The results showed Warren may be between 1/1,024 and and 1/64 Native American.

The Cherokee Nation, the federally recognized government of the Cherokee people, condemned Warren for “undermining tribal interests” with the DNA test.

“Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It makes a mockery out of DNA tests and its legitimate uses while also dishonoring legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven,” the group said Monday.

Republicans, on the other hand, mocked her.

President Trump called her a “phony,” while Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he also planned on taking a DNA test because he had been told his grandmother was “part Cherokee Indian.”

“I’m dying to know,” Graham told “Fox & Friends.” “I think I can beat her.”
