U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, said this week while the Democratic National Committee may have shown some "bias" in 2016, she believes the primary fight between Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders was "fair."

Warren, who has become a high-profile figure in Democratic Party politics, largely dismissed claims that the DNC essentially "rigged" the primary and nomination process to benefit Clinton.

The senator contended Wednesday that although she agrees with things former DNC interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile has alleged in her new book, she thinks the 2016 contest between Democratic candidates was fair -- an assertion which appeared to contrast her previous remarks on the subject.

"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 said in an interview.

Warren added that the party is looking forward and focusing on elections beyond 2016.

"(Tuesday) night's election results across the country, including in Massachusetts, showed us that Republicans had money and power," she said. "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."

Brazile accused the Clinton campaign of a "secret takeover of the DNC" in her book and a Politico op-ed released last week, writing that "if the fight (between Clinton and Sanders) had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead."

She added that the August 2015 agreement, in which the DNC reportedly gave Clinton control of the party's finances, strategy and money raised in exchange for fundraising, "was not a criminal act, but ... it compromised the party's integrity."

Do you agree with the notion that the DNC was rigged in Hillary Clinton's favor?

Warren told CNN last week that Brazile's claims suggested a "real problem" and that Democrats needed to hold their party accountable.

When pressed on whether she agreed with claims the DNC had been rigged, the senator, who ultimately endorsed Clinton over Sanders at the end of the 2016 Democratic primary, said "Yes."

A spokeswoman for Warren later clarified that the senator agreed the DNC was rigged, not the primary process itself.
