Sen. Elizabeth Warren Accused Of Altering Her #MeToo Story

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a #MeToo story. She claims she was sexually harassed by a colleague during her time working as a fake Indian law professor. She described the encounter in harrowing detail.

“Yes, I have a “me, too” story too,” she said “I was a baby law professor and so excited to have my first real teaching job. And there was this senior faculty member who, you know, would tell dirty jokes and make comments about my appearance.”

“And one day he asked me if I would stop by his office, which I didn’t think much about. And I did. And he slammed the door and lunged for me,” she continued. “It was like a bad cartoon. He’s chasing me around the desk, trying to get his hands on me. And I kept saying, ‘You don’t want to do this. You don’t want to do this. I have little children at home. Please don’t do this.’ And trying to talk calmly. And at the same time, what was flickering through my brain is, ‘If he gets hold of me, I’m going to punch him right in the face.’”

She said she eventually “jumped for the door and got out” and ran to her office where she “sat and shook.”

“After several rounds, I jumped for the door and got out. And I went back to my office and I just sat and shook. And thought, ‘What had I done to bring this on?’ And I told my best friend about it. Never said a word to anyone else. But for a long time, I wore a lot of brown,” she said.

“What it means now that so many people have spoken out, is it’s a way to say, ‘We’re here for each other.’ And it’s also a way to say, ‘No. It’s not about what you did. He’s the one who stepped out of line. And this is on him,'” she added.

Wow. That’s quite a story. But is it the whole story?

Apparently not.

According to the Boston Herald, Warren straight up “switched up her account.”

But the Boston Globe reported last night that Warren recounted the same incident in a “more light-hearted manner” at a memorial service after the professor’s death in 1997 — an account the Globe noted was “inconsistent” with her story on Sunday.

 

“During the service after his death in 1997, Warren spoke fondly of law professor Eugene Smith and told the gathered mourners she was laughing as Smith chased her around his desk, according to a colleague’s memoir,” the Globe reported.

 

The author of the memoir, John Mixon, told the paper, “I may have been wrong saying she was laughing,” adding that he was writing about the service 15 years after the fact.

Even if she wasn’t laughing, why was she speaking at a memorial service for a man who supposedly CHASED HER AROUND A ROOM? If she was so traumatized by that encounter, why did she choose to memorialize him? I’m confused.

The Globe said Warren told the broadsheet yesterday she shared the story at the memorial service as a statement about Smith’s authority.

 

“It was 20 years later, and he didn’t have power over me any more,” Warren told the newspaper, which noted she was by then a Harvard law professor.

Oh. OK. Sooooooo if Harvey Weinstein croaks in 20 years, do you think the women he sexually harassed will suddenly feel like it’s appropriate to speak at his funeral? I doubt it.

It just doesn’t make sense to me.

PS. The dude had polio.

The paper also noted that Warren failed to mention on “Meet The Press” that Smith had polio.

Is Warren changing up her story just to fit in with the #MeToo movement? Who knows. There’s definitely a disconnect here, I will say that. The woman straight up lied about her heritage. Who knows what else she’d be willing to lie about.
