Gee thanks Liz.
Anyway,
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a new interview appeared to walk back her claim that last year's Democratic primary was rigged, suggesting instead that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) showed "some bias" but that the selection process had been "fair."
"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," Warren said in a Wednesday interview with MassLive.
Her remarks contrasted with what she told CNN's Jake Tapper last week. Pressed by Tapper about whether she believed the primary had been rigged in then-candidate Hillary Clinton's favor, Warren responded: "Yes."
A spokeswoman for Warren's office did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
I gotta tell you. I lost some respect for Elizabeth Warren after that shot, and a certain person, initials DB, can go away now.

Fortunately none of this derailed the glorious election on Tuesday.
About that, Joe Scarborough says it’s a sign our politics is RUINED, ruined, I tell you.
I think it just proves that Americans are decent human beings.
He does have a point about the weather vane — one minute Obama in a landslide, next minute — Trump????
What he DIDN’T say is the obvious. First, he, Scarborough, was part of the machine that gave Trump infinite free publicity and NO challenge and didn’t give Hillary Clinton any time to talk about issues whatsoever about issues. Unless of course the issue was — altogether now —
HER EMAILS
Also, he didn’t mention this salient fact: Trump WAS NOT ELECTED. He lost by millions of votes. So HRC’s campaign was actually a successful continuation of Obama’s policies, a validation by the people of his accomplishments, except that they were voting for a more progressive platform thanks in part to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, as well as Hillary’s own instincts.
If our politics is broken, it’s because a loser can win. And because millions of people don’t get fair representation in Congress, because the Republicans have gamed the system and a minority rules. Even given all the dark money and the superpacs and the corporations which are people, my friend, that simple problem — lack of democracy in a supposedly democratic state — would fix most of it.
