While giving a speech at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2011, Elizabeth Warren asserted that she was the first nursing mother to take the New Jersey Bar Exam, as reported at The Boston Herald (link now dead, reprinted at Legal Insurrection[1]) (emphasis added):

Warren, who had no public events yesterday, again refused an interview request from the Herald, responding to questions instead through a spokeswoman by email. Meanwhile, campaign officials scrambled to address another claim Warren’s made about her life’s story. “I was the first nursing mother to take a bar exam in the state of New Jersey,” Warren told an audience at the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2011, in a video posted on the CHF website. When asked how Warren knows that, her campaign said: “Elizabeth was making a point about the very serious challenges she faced as a working mom — from taking an all-day bar exam when she was still breast-feeding, to finding work as a lawyer that would accommodate a mom with two small children.” Winnie Comfort of the New Jersey Judiciary, which administers that state’s bar exam, said there’s no way to verify Warren’s claim. Comfort said women have been taking the New Jersey bar exam since 1895, but she’s not aware their nursing habits were ever tracked.

At least one other person asserted that Warren’s claim was untrue:[2]

This morning three different law professors sent me this video of U.S. Senate Candidate and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren claiming to be the first nursing mother to ever take the bar exam. One of the professors, who is a liberal academic, noted that she knows that claim to be untrue from personal experience. Some have claimed that Warren only was joking, but a full review of the longer video segment indicates that Warren was not joking when she made the claim.

The Warren campaign offered the following explanation[3]:

When asked how Warren knows that, her campaign said: “Elizabeth was making a point about the very serious challenges she faced as a working mom — from taking an all-day bar exam when she was still breast-feeding, to finding work as a lawyer that would accommodate a mom with two small children.”

Take heart. The '60s and '70s "activist" generation is fast disappearing into retirement homes. Moving up are the more pragmatic and cynical Reagan-era kids. Let's just hope they move up way fast.

How touching.

Liberals and lying: It’s their religion.

Oui.

And, paraphrasing Ann Coulter, progressives lie instinctively; and, to them, dreaming up whoppers is a kind of sporting event.

FWIW, most of the idiots I know who supported O are hoping to be able to vote for Warren in 2016.

Hilary has been getting a lot of subtle negative press from the MSM.

Any chance they are setting Warren up for the nomination?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Kinda boring, but, “First Platoon, Delta Company, Sir!”

We were very polite. It was a ‘New Army’ by then, ya know!

Elizabeth "Lie-a-watha" Warren is a female narcissist. Her delusions of grandeur are so much a hot pile, she could well be the cause of all Global Warming. Quick! Douse he with cold water. Maybe she will dissapppear into a puddle screeching, "You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Oooooh, look out! I'm going! Oooooh! Ooooooh!"
