"Let’s just start with the hard truth about our criminal justice system," Warren said at an event on Friday hosted by Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond at Dillard University in New Orleans. "It’s racist. It is."
"And when I say our system, I mean all the way," Warren said. "I mean front to back."
"We’re talking about the front end on what you declare to be illegal; on how you enforce it, on who gets arrested," Warren said.
On Sunday the Boston Herald published an editorial titled "Liz Warren keeps playing the blame game."
