Six women of color have left the Nevada campaign of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., ahead of the state's caucuses, complaining about a toxic environment, Politico reported.
"During the time I was employed with Nevada for Warren, there was definitely something wrong with the culture," Megan Lewis, a field organizer who joined the campaign in May and departed in December, told Politico.
For her part, Warren has issued an apology to the six women.
"I believe these women completely and without reservation. And I apologize that they have had a bad experience on this campaign," the Massachusetts senator told reporters after an event in Derry, New Hampshire, on Thursday night.
"I tried to build a campaign and an organization that is diverse and welcoming, that celebrates people, that encourages people to bring their whole selves to work every single day," she said.
Warren's campaign said the three former staffers do not reflect a bigger problem in the organization.
"We strive for an inclusive environment and work hard to learn and improve," Warren campaign spokesperson Kristen Orthman said in a statement.
