Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren claimed at an event in 2011 that she was the "first nursing mother" in New Jersey to take that state's bar exam. The Boston Herald reports:
I was the first nursing mother to take a bar exam in the state of New Jersey, Warren told an audience at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2011, in a video posted on the CHF website. When asked how Warren knows that, her campaign said: Elizabeth was making a point about the very serious challenges she faced as a working mom from taking an all-day bar exam when she was still breast-feeding, to finding work as a lawyer that would accommodate a mom with two small children.
The Herald goes on to point out that women have been taking the bar exam in New Jersey since 1895, and a spokeswoman for the New Jersey Judiciary says she is "not aware" if the state tracked the nursing habits of those taking the bar.
The unverifiable claim is only the latest from Warren, who is challenging Republican Scott Brown for the U.S. Senate.
Warren has also said, both on the trail and in her professional life, that she descended from Cherokee Indians, but has been unable to back up this claim with any facts. Now, according to William Jacobson at the blog Legal Insurrection, a group of Cherokee people have started a website (and a Facebook page) called "Cherokees Demand Truth from Elizabeth Warren." The group's message to Warren is, "You claim to be Cherokee. You forget, it isn't who you claim, but instead, who claims you. We don't claim you!"

This woman is pathological. I guess when you are a Democrat in MA you can say absolutely anything without fear of people laughing you out of the room. After all, the swimmer and John Kerry-Heinz have made a career of it.
Well done.
She’s also the fifth Beatle.
The more despicable thing is that she may actually be elected by the sub-moronic idiot voters in Massachusetts.
And, by the way, isn’t providing unprocessed milk now a crime for our liberal fiends?
Fully indoctrinated sense of entitlement. So sad for society.
Mental illness, has to be.
Based on the pictures I have seen of her, Warren is incapable of nursing an infant.
Or to paraphrase Johnny Cochran...
If the chest is flat
no milk in dat
Not necessarily a true indicator though, my Mom (RIP) was very petite / flat chested and nursed my brother and me.
