Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., apologized on Thursday after a report that six women of color who left her campaign in recent months felt marginalized by the staff, saying she is working to address the concerns but she's "also aware that racism and oppression have left a long legacy."
“I believe these women completely and without reservation, and I apologize that they have had a bad experience on this campaign,” Warren told reporters Thursday in Derry, N.H. “I take personal responsibility for this and I'm working with my team to address these concerns... It is important that we stay vigilant. These women have been courageous to come forward, and again, I apologize.”
During an interview on MSNBC, Warren reiterated her apology and the problems that plagued her campaign staff actually stem from the country's history.
"I apologize personally that they had a bad experience on the campaign. I really work hard to try and build a campaign and a work environment where it's diverse and open and everyone is welcomed and celebrated and gets to bring their whole self to work every day," Warren said. "But I'm also aware that racism and oppression have left a long legacy. And it creates a toxicity where people, power structures, people take advantage of other people -- it's something for which we have to be constantly vigilant and constantly determined to do better."
She added: "I take responsibility for this and I'm working with my team to address these concerns."
Politico reported Thursday that six campaign staffers have left Warren's 70-person Nevada team since November, with three of them saying they felt marginalized and that their grievances were not addressed despite taking them to their superiors or to human resources staff.

She want's to hold CEO's accountable for things companies do, but she's passing the buck on her on campaign?
Irony, much?
what is MORE racist that lying that YOU (Ms. Warren)
are an Indian to keep other Indians out, and
to get traction from people YOUR FAMILY exterminated.
Harvard Law and Sen. Warren OWE reparations
to Native American Indians.
Both should be indicted/closed/arrested until they do.
Choke-a-hauntus.
Gets the race card played on her own self.
Karma is a bitch.
The only way is the Trump way.
Uplift ALL Americans. There actaully is plenty of Freedom and Linerty to go around for for everyone. Its not a finite commodity the way people like Fauxahontus say.
Poor Elizabeth... Without reservation, she’ll have to live in the White House!
I’m not going to rush in to save her, she created that mess.
Maybe they weren’t very good. Maybe that staff was downsizing or emphasizing other skillsets. Maybe Warren has sucky leadership in the field.
“Uplift ALL Americans. There actaully is plenty of Freedom and Liberty to go around for for everyone. Its not a finite commodity the way people like Fauxahontus say.”
I just want to echo these fine words!
I liked her favorite tribal food contribution to Pow Wow Chow, a cookbook of Native American dishes created by students at Harvard Law School. It was a rich crab dip made with expensive French cheeses, something so traditional and commonly eaten around the fire during tribal meetings.
Warren is actually talking about herself having a long history of racism and oppression.
LOL. Don’t they understand that a woman of color leads their campaign????
Possibly those ethereal, invisible and undefineable microagressions.
No sympathy for Fauxcahontas though.
I've never had a minority employee quit because of racism. But Warren has. What's that say about liberals?
Black citizens are tired of being tokens for Democrats.
She’s whiter than Elmer’s Glue and she took a job that was reserved for a Native American, so she knows racism when she sees it ... and racism is staring at her every time she looks in a mirror.
That’s right Warren. RACISM has a long legacy in the_Democrat party_ and it’s still alive and well there. Hopefully these women will see the Truth and come over to our side.
Are those the same recipes from a New York Times news service article by chef (or is that Chief) Pierre Franey?
Nice response to the question of fitness to hold the presidency while under the scrutiny of a campaign.
I love when the Left’s lunacy turns on itself!
