LAS VEGAS (AP) — Democrat Elizabeth Warren used her first visit to Nevada as a presidential candidate to describe a squeeze on working families and a political system that she says fails to protect homeowners, including the residents of Las Vegas who were pummeled by the mortgage crisis a decade ago. Warren said her own family almost lost their home when she was growing up and recalled one man she met in her Las Vegas visit a decade earlier who was one of millions around the country losing his home. Never," Warren told about 500 people at a botanical garden and event center northeast of the Las Vegas Strip. In response to Warren's visit, the Republican National Committee released a statement calling her campaign a "full-fledged apology tour" for her past claims of Native American heritage. Henson said it will be hard for Warren to move past the heritage controversy.
