Warren faces mounting questions on another part of her personal story: Was she fired for being pregnant? | Fox News

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who in recent weeks has been surging in the polls in the Democratic presidential primary race, sought Tuesday to clarify another part of her personal story that's been called into question — namely, her claim that she was fired in the 1970s for being pregnant.

Warren has long told the story of how in 1971 she was fired in the first year of her teaching job because she was “visibly pregnant.” It has been presented as a key moment in her story, propelling her toward Harvard and eventually politics.

But that story was cast into doubt after a 2007 interview reemerged in which she said she left the job after realizing that the education courses that she needed to take weren’t working out for her.

"I went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and said, 'I don't think this is going to work out for me.' I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years and I was really casting about, thinking, 'What am I going to do?'" she said.

Most recently, The Washington Free Beacon located county records from the local school board, showing that the board in April 1971 voted to extend Warren a second-year contract similar to the one she held the previous year.

A few months later in June, the minutes show that her resignation was “accepted with regret.”

=============================================================

Imagine that Lying Lizzy is at it again. What is it with this woman does she need to be the victim that bad? Woman speaks with forked tongue. :lol:

I see that your ilk sees Warren as another potential threat to your Dear Leader!

Elizabeth Warren's critics forgot: Pregnancy lasts for nine months | Salon.com

But, as progressive journalist Emily Crockett pointed out on Twitter, it's "trivially easy" to reconcile these facts to Warren's story — if one remembers that pregnancy is a nine-month process. Warren was rehired at 4 months, before she was showing. Two months later, when she would have been visibly pregnant, is when she says she was pressured to leave. It's certainly not uncommon for employers to ask someone to resign rather than to fire them outright, especially in matters such as this.​

As usual, supporters of fascism struggle with basic understanding of the female reproductive system.

DISMISSED!

I don't see this as a big thing. She could just say she was fired because she couldn't complete the classes while pregnant or something like that. These sorts of stories only have meat to them for people who weren't going to support the candidate to begin with.

What's wrong is that she is fundamentally dishonest.

Let's see.... So far she has been caught plagiarizing a cookbook, forging a legal document claiming minority status, and is now lying about being let go by her employer because she was pregnant.
What else has she lied about that we DON'T know about?

She seems to have this knack of revising her history to benefit her in one way or another for the moment. But too bad for her there's plenty of means in this day in age to be found out if you lied
Right now she has moved ahead in the national polling ahead of Biden and in everything she utters will be under full scrutiny starting with the other Democratic candidates in this primary race.

I'm sure she'll be very disappointed that a committed Trump supporter and voter isn't going to choose her in the primary or the general. The NYT has run a series stories of voters like you and how they are so disappointed in the Democratic nominee but have decided, regretfully, to stick with Trump. The best ones in their series are GOP operatives - been a few of those. Excellent journalism. If you contact them, maybe they'll interview you!
 
The same people that told me they didn't care about Trump's 19+ sexual assault allegations want me to care about Warren lying about her job history. This is the wildest timeline.

The woman is lying to try to advance her career AGAIN and she is falsely impugning the integrity of the principle who she falsely claimed fired her. She is lying to women to try to get the women's vote. Pretty scummy.

Her own story in 2007 disagrees with her current story and so does school board records. So which is it was she lying in 2007 or today?

She is lying to women to play on their sympathies to get their vote. How do you think they will view being lied too. Now she will have to answer reporter questions about the discrepancies in her two different stories.

One is a allegation the other is two different stories from the same person. The same people that were hot a bothered about an allegation aren't worried that Warren is lying to pander for the women's vote.

Great, another 0% chance of ever voting for Warren voter telling those who might what they should care about! I just don't care, sorry. And IMO anyone, man or woman, who worries about these 'scandals' versus the differences in policy between Trump and Warren is an actual idiot.

Do you disagree?

I think the point he's going for is "OMG mounting questions on Warren, OMG" I went through pregnancy around the same time as Warren and people can't comprehend what it was like for women who were pregnant. You weren't hired if you only 'appeared' to be pregnant. If you vomited in work people assumed you were pregnant and would have to be fired soon. If you announced that you were pregnant, you got a 'good luck and goodbye' cake and party on your way out the door in a matter of a week. A pregnant woman was not welcome or wanted in the workplace.

I think anyone who would endorse Warren's ideas, and support her candidacy, is an idiot.

Does that make both of us idiots?
 
I think it’s hilarious that the right wing news- and blog-o-sphere expected to see in the school board minutes: “We are firing Mrs. Warren because she’s pregnant.”

The lack of such a statement does not disprove her story. No school board in the country would document that in their minutes.

She contradicted her own story in 2007 and she has said her and her husband at the time decided she should take a couple years off to raise her child. So she has 3 different stories she has told. The "I was fired for being pregnant" is the most recent version.
 
Wow conservatives ask questions about a conspiracy theory and Fox News publishes a story based on these "mounting questions" that Warren "faces". In reality it's just the same useful idiots doing their conservative duty to spread laughably disproven right wing conspiracy theories.

Here's a great headline for Fox:

"Trump faces mounting questions on another part of his personal story: Did he pee on a hooker in Russia?"

Do you agree or not that deciding between Trump and Warren based on this nonsense would be stupid?

I don't think she'll be able to talk her way out of this one... and yes, people are paying attention to her every word and also to why she refuses to answer questions when pressed.
