Ryan Webb, a councilman in Delaware County, Indiana, sounded off on Monday after he received blowback for coming out as a Native American lesbian.
Webb told Fox News Monday he is"very proud" to highlight his Native American ancestors, to which host Jesse Watters asked if he had more Cherokee blood than another public official who purported to be Native American, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
Warren took a DNA test in 2018, which found she potentially had trace Native American ancestry six or more generations back. The senator later apologized to the Cherokee Nation for the incident, a contrition that was accepted by a Cherokee official. "Some people have really been upset. You know, they've been big mad about it. And, you know, we had a group of individuals show up at our local Delaware County Council meeting to express their fake outrage," Webb said.
