Is Liz a Pathological Liar?
The definition of a pathological liar is: “someone who lies compulsively.”
Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has already been caught lying compulsively, in the form of her genetic and genealogical heritage. It’s not something one easily lies about in the age of Ancestry dot com and 23andMe DNA testing, and yet, she did, and was caught red-handed in the lie. President Trump’s favorite nickname for the wanna-be Native American – Fauxahontas – is one of his all-time best insults.
Now the Washington Free Beacon has caught Warren in yet another lie, and this one is a doozy,
BREAKING: County records contradict Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's claim that she was dismissed after he first year of teaching because she was pregnant, showing school board unanimously approved a second-year contract https://t.co/aPmDZ690iT

In both instances, Warren was trying to earn herself victimhood credentials, and in both cases, was caught blatantly lying. What is galling about this lie is how easily disprovable her claims were; as if there are other people involved who wouldn’t want to set the record straight. The people in question have documentation to prove their claims, unlike Warren. It’s a profoundly stupid lie to spin, and yet, Warren couldn’t help herself.
For reporters over the next year, if they actually care about objectivity, they have their work cut out for them. Every single statement Warren makes on the campaign trail should be fact-checked.
And for liberals considering who they want to represent their worldview in a general, Warren’s conduct should throw up red flags.
Millions of women are fired every day from work for being pregnant yet Elizabeth Warren decided to use this opportunity to lie about why she was fired. She's either lying on purpose or she lie so much she can't remember the lie, both is a negative & disqualifying. She's a liar.

Warren is the boy who cried wolf and any claims she is later caught lying about casts doubt on anyone actually in that position. Warren’s lies about her Native American history could have made it more difficult for subsequent Native American students declaring their ethnicity on college applications and financial aid, and her lies about being fired while pregnant could cause doubt for women actually fired because of their pregnancies. Warren’s lies have far-reaching implications and have the potential to harm Democrats (and Americans) off the campaign trail and after the election is over. Her pathology has become more than a punch-line.

What she said is untrue. Again.
Give people the facts and let them decide. “We report, you decide.”
Thank you for saying this. She is way worse than Trump. Way more unethical. The EEOC stuff is pure lawbreaking.
A politician lying is no big deal. What this shows is that she’s a phony. Nobody likes a phony.
Trump is a patriotic, conservative, JFK Democrat.
Warren represents the leftists who burrowed into the Democratic Party starting around 1970, until they could take it over completely.
Hell, if Bill Clinton were entering politics today, he would have to join the Republican Party.
I do not buy that “millions” of women are fired each year for being pregnant. But, if so, perhaps things like guaranteed paid leave are, just maybe, part of the problem? Or do we expect employees to just roll over when governments put them in the position of losing gobs of money for employees who are unlikely to bring a fraction of that value in return?
