Did Elizabeth Warren exaggerate her "Me Too" story? [about being chased around a desk]

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.

[Snip]

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:

[Snip]

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.

I think, "Princess Gray Beaver" is the best name for her.

She meant to say that she dreamed he was chasing her and ravishing her.

And it was good.....

Embellishment is a legitimate rhetorical device.
However, the definition of fraud requires material facts, which are false, and relied upon to the detriment of person hearing or reading the statement of fact.

Sexual harassment is the flavor of the day, thanks to one of her party’s big donors. So if Gray Beaver is lying about being harassed, it looks like she’s just a damned liar. She already lied about bein’ an Injin. And we’ve taken her measure in any number of other `embellishments’.

I suspect she sees a lot of hub-bub and doesn’t want to be left out, so she concocted this fib about being chased by someone interested in her sexually. On its face (or her face) it’s a little hard to swallow. Or more than a little hard.
