Boston Globe: "tone of her telling ... appears to be inconsistent" with prior "lighthearted manner in which she described the same incident"
On Meet the Press last Sunday, Elizabeth Warren recounted an incident from her early professor days about a senior professor who allegedly sexually harassed her by lunging after her and chasing her around the desk in his office.

Because of my extensive dealings reporting on Warren’s false claim to be Native American and misleading statements regarding her law practice representing major corporations, I viewed Warren’s statement with caution. She is the master of taking a kernel of truth (such as that there was some family talk of Native American heritage) and spinning it into a larger life narrative (that she was Native American).
But I have to say, even as a Warren-skeptic, I’m surprised at how quickly Warren’s Me Too story has been cast into doubt.
Jules Crittendon at The Boston Herald, which broke the story in late April 2012 of Warren’s claim to be Native American at Harvard, reports, Liz Warren's 'MeToo' flip-flopped old tale:

This is classic Warren. There appears to be a kernel of truth - something happened with the old polio-stricken professor, but what Warren once viewed in a light-hearted almost-laughable manner now becomes a major part of her life and political narrative, because it’s politically opportune to portray it that way now.

If she was running around her desk, she was probably trying to make it rain.
Lying is as natural as breathing to Democrat pols.
There is nothing about her worth chasing.
Lieawatha strikes again
Yeah, I think everyone knew there was some, maybe a lot of, exaggeration in her story.
But I have been having fun remembering the Three Stooges episode in which the boys are disguised as Indians —with Curly as a squaw — and Curly gets forced into marriage with a French trapper, and he’s chasing Curly around on the wedding night. Woo woo woo woo woo!
No Squaw! Crazy Wasi’chu speak with feces tongue.
She did the chasing not the other way round.
“” Nothing about her worth chasing” – – I think you’ve nailed her.
What kind of warped male finds lies-a-lot-us attractive?
What kind of warped male finds lies-a-lot-us attractive?
But just about any female can find a male looking for a ride.
Did she specify if someone was just trying to chase her away?
Yeah, that she was once a professor. After that, no more kernels.
Was there a Pepsi soda can involved, in any way?
Maybe she was chasing someone around the desk and he was running faster than her.
The male professor had polio and yet he managed to chase her around the desk?
Sure.
I was there and saw it all. The US 7th Calvary led by George Custer was trying to capture her.
General Custer himself was the one chasing her around the desk.
This was a week before Little Big Horn.
Having her chase you would be strong motivation.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren reportedly switched up her account of sexual harassment that she relayed this weekend in a televised #MeToo testimonial from an earlier “light-hearted” version….
But the Boston Globe reported last night that Warren recounted the same incident in a “more light-hearted manner” at a memorial service after the professor’s death in 1997 — an account the Globe noted was “inconsistent” with her story on Sunday.
“During the service after his death in 1997, Warren spoke fondly of law professor Eugene Smith and told the gathered mourners she was laughing as Smith chased her around his desk, according to a colleague’s memoir,” the Globe reported.
The paper also noted that Warren failed to mention on “Meet The Press” that Smith had polio.
What a word picture.
