CBS This Morning on Wednesday finally committed journalism and covered the latest example of Elizabeth Warren being forced to confront contradictory facts about her background. This time, it’s claims that she was fired from a teaching job in 1971 because she was pregnant. After ignoring claims highlighted by The Washington Free Beacon on Monday, This Morning’s Tony Dokoupil observed, “A series of reports have questioned the story she's been telling it on the campaign trail.”

Reporter Ed O’Keefe even brought up Warren’s past lies about being a Native American: “Questions of the legitimacy of the story stem in part from claims she's made in the past about her heritage.” O’Keefe played clips of the 2020 Democrat repeating her assertion she was fired for being pregnant: “The principal did what principals did in those days, wished me luck and hired someone else for the job.”

He added, “But some have questioned her version of the events pointing to a 2007 interview where he gave a different reason for why she left.” O’Keefe explained how this doesn’t mesh with the facts:

ELIZABETH WARREN: I actually didn't have the education courses. So I was on an emergency certificate, it was called. 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.” ED O’KEEFE: And minutes from school board meetings show Warren's resignation was accepted with regret.

He also allowed Warren to get away with blithely dismissing the contradictions: “It doesn't matter much what the term is. Let's be clear, I was six months pregnant.” However, Credit to O’Keefe for reminding: “Questions about her employment history come after years of scrutiny over her claims of Native American ancestry which she apologized for over the summer.”
