Minnesota’s progressive Senate nominee just reminded the entire Democrat donor class that, after nearly 250 years of American history, the chamber has somehow managed to avoid seating a single actual Native woman — something a certain Massachusetts senator with a famous DNA test and a presidential campaign built on family lore apparently never managed to change. The fundraising pitch practically writes itself: finally, the real thing is here… and the old “Pocahontas” story just got a quiet but very public reality check.
Peggy Flanagan fundraising email: "In almost 250 years, there's never been a Native woman serving in the US Senate."

Claims native ancestry, then takes her white mom's last name. 🙄

And just like that, the progressive left’s favorite identity-politics talking point got an awkward reality check from one of its own. When the real Native candidate has to remind donors that the Senate has never seated an actual Native woman, it tends to make all those years of DNA tests, family recipes, and “Pocahontas” nicknames look a little less like history and a lot more like a punchline.
