Sen. Elizabeth Warren apologized to six women of color who left her Nevada presidential campaign because of what they called a toxic work environment.
"I believe these women completely and without reservation and I apologize that they have had a bad experience on this campaign," the Massachusetts Democrat told reporters after a town hall on Thursday. She continued:"I also understand the long legacy of racism in this country and what it means and how it creates power dynamics and inequities that are toxic and dangerous. And that's why it's so important that we be constantly vigilant and determined to do better.
