REPORT: Elizabeth Warren Now Saying Primary Had 'Some Bias'

REPORT: Elizabeth Warren Now Saying Primary Had 'Some Bias'

A week ago, when former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee Donna Brazile came forward with accusations in her newly-released book that the democratic primary was "rigged" in favor of Hillary Clinton, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren was quick to agree.


In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper last Thursday, when asked about the accusations, Warren responded:

"This is a real problem. But what we've got to do as Democrats now is we've got to hold this party accountable. When Tom Perez was first elected chair of the DNC, the very first conversation I had with him is to say, 'You have got to put together a Democratic Party in which everybody can have confidence. That the party is working for Democrats rather than Democrats are working for the party.' And he's being tested now. And either he's going to succeed by bringing Bernie Sanders and Bernie Sanders' representatives into this process, and they're going to say, 'It's fair, it works, we all believe it,' or he's going to fail. And I very much hope he succeeds. I hope for Democrats everywhere. I hope for Bernie and for all of Bernie's supporters that he's going to succeed."

But then, wanting get a solid stance from Warren, Tapper asked: "Do you agree with the notion that it was rigged?"

"Yes!" Warren exclaimed without missing a beat.

But now, several days after Brazile walked back her accusations, Warren has followed suit, saying during an interview with MassLive on Wednesday: "I agree with what Donna Brazile has said over the last few days; that while there was some bias at the DNC, the overall 2016 primary process was fair and Hillary made history."

She added that the focus is now on looking past the 2016 election, remarking: "(Tuesday) night's election results across the country, including in Massachusetts, showed us that Republicans had money and power. But, Democrats had our voices and our votes, and we used them. People from every corner of the Democratic Party won and that's a win, not just for Democrats but for democracy."

But for many, Warren's initial comments and subsequent backtrack could've been potentially damaging:

And many are calling for an official apology:

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
