Fact Check: Elizabeth Warren Falsely Claims She Was Fired from Her First Teaching Job for Being Pregnant
Breitbart.com ^ | 2/25/2020 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 02/26/2020 11:07:15 AM PST by rktman

CLAIM: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed at the Democrat debate in Charleston, South Carolina, broadcast on CBS Tuesday night that she was fired from her first teaching job for being pregnant. Specifically, Warren said that after she was visibly pregnant, her principal “wished me luck and gave my job to someone else. Pregnancy discrimination? You bet.”

VERDICT: False. Warren has been making this claim on the campaign trail since June 2019, but all the documentary evidence surrounding her departure from her first job as a public school teacher in New Jersey during the 1970-1971 academic year indicates it was voluntary. In a 2007 interview, she also described her departure from that job as voluntary.

Still spinning this tale of woe. Thought we had settled this lie quite a while back butt, looks like repeating a lie will eventually make it true if you REALLY believe. Maybe too much firewater?

First lie would be the pregnancy, wouldn’t it?

After all, who is so very desperate that they’d boink her?

No, not looks - personality.

I was very surprised to hear her make this claim again as it was thoroughly debunked not too long ago. Did she think everyone would forget or is she so arrogant to think that lies like this are okay?

Looks like Lieawatha is glomming on to another lie. Someone else’s lie.

Who in their right mind would want to pro-create with this woman?? Other than that, she is a consistent liar and story teller.

Could tell she was lying by the quiet sort of way she said it and slowly slowing down at the end wishing she’d never said it in the first place. She didn’t sound angry over it.

And she went after Bloomberg for him allegedly telling a pregnant employee to “Kill it” how ironic since Warren supports the murder of full term babies..maybe she is upset that she didnt get a chance to kill the baby herself

Another thing that nobody seems to bring up.....if she was fired/let go, official paperwork would have been filed for her to be able to collect unemployment insurance.

If none exists then she quit, it’s that simple.
