Pooh-poohing Warren's public-relations rollout in a press scrum focused largely on the murder of a journalist in Turkey, Trump denied on Monday that he had publicly offered a $1 million charitable donation in the event Warren could prove the claims she has made about her heritage.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren could be punching her ticket to the 2020 presidential sweepstakes with a report that confirms she has a small amount of American Indian heritage
'I didn't say that,' he insisted Monday when asked about his words at a July rally in Great Falls, Montana. 'You'd better read it again.'
At the rally where he made his pledge in July, Trump told a laughing crowd that if he ever faced Warren in a presidential debate he would toss a DNA testing kit at her and offer 'a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian.'
'We will take that little kit and say, but we have to do it gently, because we're in the MeToo generation, so we have to be very gentle,' Trump said to laughter as he pantomimed an underhand throw.
'And we will very gently take that kit, and we will slowly toss it – hoping it doesn't hit her and injure her arm, even though it only weighs probably two ounces.'
Warren named her charity on Monday, tweeting at Trump: 'Remember saying on 7/5 that you’d give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? I remember – and here's the verdict. Please send the check to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center.'
'I took this test and released the results for anyone who cares to see because I’ve got nothing to hide,' Warren said in a follow-up tweet.
'What are YOU hiding, @realDonaldTrump? Release your tax returns – or the Democratic-led House will do it for you soon enough. Tick-tock, Mr President.'
