Let’s just get this out of the way up front: this was just a cheap, shameless stunt by a political opponent to gain some publicity against a popular sitting senator … and we kind of love it.
V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, an Indian-born American who is challenging Sen. Elizabeth Warren for her Senate seat in 2018, noted Sunday that the Senator had refused his birthday gift: a DNA test. (Editor’s note: We’ve blurred out Warren’s address.)

Seeing as he has “Defeat #FakeIndian Elizabeth Warren” right at the top of his campaign website, it’s pretty clear what Ayyadurai was trying to prove. Fox News picked up on the stunt:

@SenWarren take the darn test. You may be in for a surprise and discover you are descended from one of the Twelve Tribes (of Israel)!

We’ll be honest: We don’t know much about Ayyadurai and his political platform, but he’s certainly captured our attention.

I've followed him online for weeks…he keeps, ahem, banging the war drum of "send a real Indian to beat a fake Indian". 🙂

Well, he’s persistent.
That's surely going to ruffle some feathers.

You are definitely my candidate for Senate in MA in 2018! You are rational and make perfect sense! What a concept.
