'Keep lying for her': CNN opinion piece goes to absurd lengths to justify Elizabeth Warren's shameless pregnancy narrative

Yesterday, CNN’s Brandon Tensley wrote an “analysis” arguing that the mere act of digging into Elizabeth Warren’s super-dubious story about getting fired for being “visibly pregnant” is “sexism in the guise of scrutiny.” But when you’re as hellbent on covering for Warren as CNN is, one analysis just isn’t enough. You’ve gotta keep the train going. And that’s exactly what they’re doing by publishing this opinion piece by Hoftstra associate professor of PR and former Obama Treasury Department spokeswoman Kara Alaimo:

Media outlets have dug up a 2007 interview in which Sen. Warren recalled that teaching job, saying she remembered thinking “I don’t think this is going to work out for me. I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple years,” to suggest she left her job of her own volition. That’s insane.

It’s insane to conclude that Warren saying she left her job voluntarily means she left her job voluntarily? More:

Whether she was fired or left because she saw the writing on the wall that her job would be incompatible with motherhood — and who can blame her for not remembering the precise details of something that happened nearly five decades ago [Editor’s note: Yeah, who can blame her for not remembering the precise details of a story she’s using to prove she’s a victim? Who can blame her for not remembering that she plagiarized recipes for “Pow Wow Chow”? Who can blame her for bizarrely claiming that racism nearly kept her mother and father apart and quintupling down on the assertion that she’s teeming with Cherokee blood? Who can blame her for any of that?] — the point is that our society makes it extraordinarily tough to be a working mom, especially a new mom. It’s bad now, but it was even worse when Warren had her children. She deserves credit for overcoming obstacles that her male opponents simply didn’t face. And our next president, whoever that is, needs to be someone who understands these barriers.
