Warren Said She Was Once Fired For Being Pregnant. That’s Not What She Said Before.....

Presidential contender Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has highlighted the supposed hardships of women in the workplace by claiming she was fired from a teaching job after she became “visibly pregnant.” But the senator, who has been plagued by her own wildly overstated claims of Native American heritage, told a different story about how she lost her teaching job in the past.

However, as highlighted by Bier, during an interview in 2007, Warren recalled leaving her teaching job because she did not have requisite qualifications — a far cry from claiming to be have been canned by a male principal for being with child.


“At UC Berkeley in 2007 as part of a series called ‘Conversations with History,’ Warren was asked about her pursuit of a career helping special needs children,” Bier reported. “Her answer at the time made no mention of losing her job due to her pregnancy. Instead, she spoke of trying to further her education because she lacked some education courses that had required her to rely on an ‘emergency certificate’ to teach that first year. While pursuing those courses, she said she realized, ‘I don’t think this is going to work out for me.’ She and her husband then decided she would stay at home for the time being.”

According to Bier, “The earliest version of Warren’s story that includes the principal explicitly dismissing her appears to be in her autobiography ‘A Fighting Chance’ in 2014.”

Seems the fake Indian tries to fit her life to what she thinks others will sympathize with. What a LIAR!

Surely you have nonpartisan factual links detailing this & also a transcript of that 2007 interview.

Ah, Trumpies are getting the hint that Warren is the next one to knock down. Trump has 100's of millions and will spend unlimited money to discredit every decent person running against him. How dare they run against him???

Actually, I like Liz but go ahead and get rid of her - we can stand up Corey Booker and a bunch of others who would have a broader appeal.

Could have been 2 separate incidents. Did she teach in a Houston public school?

It was common for teachers to get laid off when they were showing pregnant.

My SIL's first contract said she should never be seen a place where alcohol was served. If she wanted to buy beer she went to another town. Mind you. this was years ago.

But SIL is not that much older than Warren. The pregnant thing was more recent. She would not have been fired, she would have known to quit. It was common knowledge that if you showed, you stopped being in the school.


Depends on the district. If she refused to quit, they could have fired her.

My favorite recent attack on Warren was those two ridiculous RWNJs claiming that she had wild sex with this ex-Marine.

Throw stuff up onto a wall and see what sticks.

Trump bots panicking and the primaries have not even started.

Trump's stuff already on the wall, sticking and stinking up the Oval office.
