Latest Elizabeth Warren claim: First nursing mother to take a bar exam in New Jersey
**Written by Doug Powers
Elizabeth Warren has clearly learned her lesson from the ongoing criticism surrounding her assertion that she is 1/32nd Cherokee: Next time make it something that is unverifiable — kind of like this:
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.
It’s impossible to know for sure, mostly because when Warren took the bar exam cameras weren’t allowed in the asi.
Here’s a short video by way of William Jacobson. Judging from the smattering of chuckles, the audience thought it was a joke, but apparently it wasn’t — at least not intentionally:
A Marxist, breast-feeding Cherokee Indian Senate candidate taking a bar exam. At least I no longer have to wonder what I’m going to dress up as for Halloween this year.
Elizabeth Warren must have been one of the inspirations behind Kristen Wiig’s “Penelope”:

I don’t know which I find more unbelievable: Her claims of Cherokee heritage or her claim that her womb ever bore life and her breasts ever nurtured it.
It’s about time that Ward Churchill’s star pupil is finally making her mark in the world.
Can we say she’s really ‘milking’ her special status?
I REALLY hope that some mom who was nursing when she took the bar exam earlier than Warren comes out of the woodwork real soon! That would be the icing on the cake!
Sounds like one of those meaningless, made-up stats that you hear now and then at a slow time during a basketball or baseball game broadcast…the kind that is worse than the alternative – dead air:
“Yeah, Phil, I was just told by our statistican Mike that (random athlete here) is the first small forward to get twelve points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds from 8:30 to 8:50pm on a Friday night in a month with no “R” in it while wearing red B-ball shoes, the day after having a 4-egg omelette, bacon, and hash browns for supper,” and on and on and on….
Warren reminds me of the ‘Commander McFlag’ character from the ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle Show’ who had been anywhere and everywhere…
The traditional papoose was too cumbersome to bring to the bar exam, so she went back to her other roots and used a nursing sling made from alpaca wool like her ancestral Peruvian great-great-great-grandcousin thrice removed who nursed while working the fields in the valleys of the Andes Mountains back in the day.
“A Marxist,breast-feeding Cherokee Indian Senate candidate taking a bar exam.”
That
plagiarizeswrites great recipes including crab dishes harkening to her crab spearing ancestors. All the greatest statesman-like qualities a discerning voter should be looking for. /sarc…or raving leftists.
So, Elizabeth walks in to a bar, approaches a drunk, then whips out her hooters…
Please…somebody make it stop!

It IS bizarre. Libs are usually spawned under a rock in the barnyard.
Random, hell.
That was LaMonte Uskevich, Knicks, 1966.
Let’s allow that Fauxcahontas had “serious challenges” as a working mom. That answer doesn’t address the question of how she knows she’s “the first woman to blah-blah-blah.”
So if “serious challenges” is all she’s got, then she’s still in the business of making up crap about herself without a shred of evidence. This is simply the Pow Wow Chow recipes, part two.
And let’s face it, a lot of women raising children have overcome serious challenges relating to carving out a career that were far more daunting than taking an all-day bar exam or finding a job as a lawyer, so Dances with Lies isn’t so special after all.
Come on, Massachusetts! This woman is grasping for attention in a way that screams she is mentally ill or a grifter of the first order. You would consider such a person a suitable senator? Oh wait, you did elect The Swimmer to 8 terms. Never mind.
Everybody’s equal.
Unless you’re a Native American. Or 1/32 one.
Unless you’re a nursing mother. That makes you a special case also.
Yup. Equality. That’s what the law is all about. Yessirree.
A quick Google yielded the first woman graduated from South Jersey Law School (Rutgers Law School) in 1936.
Further, that in New Jersey, first law graduate woman was 1910.
Surely, in all that time Lieawatha is not the only law student with a child.
Liar for cheap effect.
Wow, there’s the badge of honor that tops my list of badges of honor I’d like to wear, er, suffer …
Giving the benefit of the doubt:
1. Maybe possibly 1/32 Cherokee
2. First nursing mother to take the bar exam in NJ
This is supposed to persuade us to vote for her?
According the Democrats … yes! It realy doesn’t matter what she
saysclaims anyway – the people of Taxachucets will vote for her. They voted for the murderer Kennedy, didn’t they?Oh for Pete’s sake, Elizabeth–women have been nursing babies and doing things all day long for…well, a long time. Why would that qualify you for any elected office? The fact that you’re “like regular women”?
Oh wait. That makes you a “victim”, doesn’t it. Protected status!!
might she also be the first 1/32nd fake cherokee, milking mom, who was laughed off the ballot?
I’m confused. Is she claiming that she took with the exam with a baby latched onto her nipple?
How is breastfeeding while taking an exam relevant to her qualifications for the office she’s seeking?
Who was the first person to SIT for the NJ Bar Exam while suffering from hemorrhoids? That would be someone worth honoring.
Instapundit had a nice story about a lady (possibly his wife) that made the drive to the bar exam location, took the exams, etc, all while wet nursing her baby. This is not especially new or unique with princess elizabeth (Cherokees did not have princesses).
Was she also the first nursing mother on the cover of Time?
This is starting to sound like a the scene in Austin Powers in which Dr. Evil explains his life:
The rank mendacity of Elizabeth Warren is astounding. No state bar examining committee asks women whether they are pregnant, have children or how many children or the age of the children. If any state bar examining committee did such a thing, the EEOC and the Justice Department would come down on them like a hammer on nails. So there is no way to prove Warren’s claim. But more important for Warren, there is no way to disprove Warren’s boast unless an enterprising reporter gets a list of women who have taken the NJ bar exam and interviews them one by one. Without doubt, there would be other women who took the bar exam while having toddlers at home and did not feel the need to brag the way Warren does so incessantly. Now that we know that she is the first Native American woman to teach at Harvard, the first woman to take and pass the bar exam while nursing a baby when she got home from the exam, we can expect the next boast from Warren: She was the first woman to be named Chief of the Apache Nation. No, she doesn’t have any formal record of her selection to the post of chief but for Scott Brown to question it shows Scott Brown’s lack of respect for women.
Gosh, this is all so funny that is has me going back to the early days of the WWF and Chief Jay Strongbow.
If she had any credentials to actually make people want to vote for her, she wouldn’t have to resort to these tall tales and idiotic statements.
Clearly, this woman needs sympathy and professional help, not a job in Congress. Please, we do not need another nut-job in DC!! There are more than enough there already.
This could also be a question for Warren. Did she talk to every woman taking the bar exam and ask them if they were breastfeeding moms? If she answeres yes, then you could follow up with “what compelled you to ask all these women this question?”
It just keeps getting better and better. The Dollar Store cashier gets jiggy widdit.
I must say I have not tried a shorn scrotum. I would be averse to nicks and the necessary use of styptic.
Clearly Lies Through Teeth is part of the 1% so why should she expect anybody to give her credit for for her success, even if it involved significant sacrifice. After all in her own words
“There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody”
Instead of complaining about her struggles she should be thanking the rest of us for her success.
Do we think that EVEN Massachusetts voters won’t elect an obvious fraud such as Liz?
Actually they are an endangered species much like the Shakers, although for different reasons. Their world view requires that they copulate frequently, religiously, immediately destroying any products of conception which may ensue. In this case it is an anomaly that a child apparently “made it” through the gauntlet. Prior permission certainly would have been required as this event potentially challenges the security of the City.
I don’t get it, now Warren is pandering to the La Leche League?
I know that sounds Latino so she thinks she’s pandering to a minority group? Someone needs to tell Warren the group’s membership has nothing to do with minority status so in a way just like her
Errah, First female law professor to give a unicorn a handy in the Harvard faculty lounge . . . . Another unverifiable undocumented first in leftist history! When will this nonsense stop??!! Surely the Taxachussetts electorate isn’t this dumb, are they??!! She wants to be one of the hundred of our best and brightest representative here in ole DC. Boy are we in trouble.
Warren says she told schools of heritage
Acknowledges identifying as Native American after hirings
Does anyone know if cooked goose was one of the recipes Liz contributed to Pow Wow Chow….just saying it looks delicious
Well it’s obvious to me that the root of Elizabeth’s trouble is with the New Jersey Judiciary who doesn’t award trophies to those applicants who first exhibit some sort of out of the ordinary behavior or appearance.
Because of them we simply do not know who was the first female applicant to take the test wearing pants or not wearing a bra? Heck, we do not even know who was the first left handed person to take test!
I propose a challenge to expert photo-shoppers, (alas, I am not..), to design a trophy for the New Jersey Judiciary to award to Elizabeth Warren. My suggestion is to delicately combine statues of Lady Justice and a nursing mother.
Then someone good with a knife can use it as a template to whittle one out of Balsa wood.
So, Lizzie-the-Hatchet Rabbit-Warren-for-Brains has progressed (how “progressive” of her!) from being merely a blond-haired “red”-head wannabe to a world champion “tit”-twit.
Does that mean she’s also gone from doing the back-stroke to the breast-stroke?
I’m picturing her wearing an Indian headdress and nursing an infant while taking the bar exam.
All while oogling a photograph of Karl Marx.
Such a multi-tasking socialist.
tomorrow she’ll be Jewish; descendant of Queen Esther or some sh*t.
Isn’t that about the same time her kid chipped a tooth?
And i’m sure that anyone else taking the bar that day wouldn’t remember a screaming, crying child that’s hungry, or this woman popping her shirt open to oblige said hungry child?
Sounds like someone wanting attention, and nothing more. Whether she’s breast fed 3 children at the same time (which might be a feat?) or never had children in the first place, none of this represents a qualification that pertains to her job.
Unless she really did perform a “feed 3 at once” feat, in which case she could parlay that into showing how she could multitask.
If she was really cherokee, she would have got down off her horse, had her baby behind a bush, then got back on the horse with her baby and rode to the bar exam.
I’d have been just fine w/ her claim she had an infant “in diapers” at her time of the exam.
Never having had a child OR passed the bar exam, where I’m concerned, impressive enough. Why the need for over the top ‘first’ assertions?
Hey, it’s hard being a blonde haired blue eyed,33 and a 1/3 Cherokee Princess that’s the head of the Apache Nation.
This will assure her a victory in Mass-of-Socialist.
The question I want answered is, can she dance?
At first, with her BS “I’m-an-Indian-too” BS, I thought that Warren was just cynically dishonest.
Now, I’m beginning to think that she’s seriously mentally ill.
Either way, when your “campaign” amounts to either demonstrably lying to puff yourself up or, at best, making weird claims that no one can verify because they’re so weird, it speaks volumes about your party’s candidate selection process. And none of it good.
Hey! I thought she was getting “Swift Canoed?”
This is so ridiculous! Who cares and what exactly is her point? Many women who breast feed currently or in the past did their jobs, went to class, volunteer postions, served in the military, took care of other children, took care of their families and took all kinds of tests. I could even name many including one who took a huge exam in labor and left to deliver her child within a few hours of arriving at the hospital. So what?? Nothing so special about that, just a choice many moms make.
She could quite possibly also be the first menstruating 1/32 Cherokee lawyer under 6-feet tall to get a ‘Faculty Parking Pass’ at Harvard!
Somebody call Guinness!
Why would ANY body even make that claim? My visceral reaction is “SO WHAT!!”
I think that she should check-in at the nearest psych-ward. Or she inherited Ted’s stash of his dad’s bootleg Scotch.
Obviously all the attributes that qualify her for TED’S old senate seat.
So, a dyslexic senate hopeful walks into a bra…
I was going to ask, “Where is Miss Cheryl” to complain about all the snarkiness and that the Dems don’t like us because of it. Then I saw that she is here in her “Harry Bailey” guise at #-7 above.
Honestly, next time Michelle is on Fox she should do a reading of this entire thread. My sides are sore from laughing.
next week she’ll claim that she was the first woman to pass a huge turd whilst playing a saxophone during the LSAT
Does anyone seriously listen to this woman or care what she says? We know she’s a lib liar so what else do we need to know?
Actually, I think that was Chap, pre-reassignment surgery.
The scary thing is that many in the ridiculous state of Massachusetts may listen to her; and may not think that she is lying; they can vote; and, most firghtening of all, their vote counts as much as yours or mine.
Massachusetts, after all, is the state that, cra**ing on America, sent Kennedy, Frank, Studds, & Kerry to D. C., where those dangerous clowns were able to exercise power – is this a nightmare? – yes, power over us….
…frightening….
She’s just trying to be like her idol:
Hillary “named-for-the-mountain-climber and pinned-down-by-sniper-fire” Clinton.
I hate to be the cynical type but ever since the media began heavily pushing her as the greatest politician and greatest human being, it automatically raises a flag that I should not trust this person.
I hope she doesn’t sound too rational for the voters of Massachusetts who normally like their reps to be flawed…
She admits to being a working mom? That can’t sit well with liberals can it?
So she IS qualified for Congress.
I intend to be the first angry white male with a bald head and hazel eyes to take the Michigan Bar Exam while under the influence of MDMA, smoking a cigar, on parole for murder and with a robot as a scribe. All while in a 1971 Chevy Camaro SS in the Detroit Windsor Tunnel doing 90 mph with Led Zeppelin’s “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” blaring at 97 db. And I will sue the state if they don’t let my late mother score my exam in heaven via a Ouiga board.
At least she hasn’t claimed that she’s being ‘swift-boated’ .. (yet).
BINGO!
Yes, but was she wearing a Burka?
Massachusetts, I’m beggin’ ya, don’t embarrass yourselves again with this woman!?!
Her friends Lewis and Clark will be greatly disappointed in her if she is not elected to congress to push for an exploration of the 1/32nd. District of the Louisianan Purchase.
…only works, if you are a deNOcrat…
And would probably go better with Eve of Destruction, by Barry McGuire.
Nah, 1971 would be The Who’s Next album “Goin Mobile” or “Teenage Wasteland”
(oops aka Baba O’Riley!)
Works for me; however, upon further reflection (since we are talking about Motor City)…how about Devil With A Blue Dress – Mitch Ryder?
Elizabeth Warren today stated that she was born in a wigwam.
I hear Warren is claiming support from the Tee-Pee Party.
Bingo! I just got a new Bucket List entry! That was some funny sh*t, thank you for that!
I was confused for a moment and then I realized you meant Commander McBragg.
