County records from Sen. Elizabeth Warren's time as a teacher in New Jersey contradict the Massachusetts Democrat's claim that she was fired from her teaching job for being "visibly pregnant."

The Riverdale Board of Education, where she alleges she was fired after her first year, granted Warren a second-year teaching contract by a unanimous vote, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Minutes from a June 16, 1971, meeting, several months after the first meeting, show that Warren resigned from her position. The resignation was "accepted with regret."

Warren, 70, has claimed repeatedly that she was fired from her part-time teaching job after a year for being pregnant. "By the end of the first year, I was visibly pregnant, and the principal did what principals did in those days: wish me luck and hire someone else for the job," she said at a town hall.

Old video surfaced last week in which Warren gave a separate reason for leaving teaching.

"And my first year post-graduation, I worked — it was in a public school system, but I worked with the children with disabilities. And I did that for a year, and then that summer, I actually didn’t have the education courses, so I was on an 'emergency certificate,' it was called," she said in a 2007 interview.

"And I went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and said, 'I don’t think this is going to work out for me,'" she continued. "And I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, 'What am I going to do?'"





Warren has had her credibility questioned on her personal history before, including a claim that she was part Native American. President Trump used the claim to mock his potential presidential challenger before she eventually took a DNA test to try and prove her claim.

She was later forced to apologize after the Cherokee nation criticized her for what they said was a "mockery" and a "dishonoring" stunt. President Trump has repeatedly used Warren's heritage to mock her, calling her "Pocahontas."
