Elizabeth Warren: I didn't mean I inspired the OWS protests

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Thursday that the Wall Street protests were “independent” and “organic,” conceding that she misspoke during an earlier interview in which she seemed to be taking credit for the movement.

“What I meant to say was, I’ve been protesting Wall Street for a long time now,” the Democrat said following a campaign appearance in the Boston suburb of Newton.

“The Occupy Wall Street movement is organic, it is independent, and that’s how it should be,” said Ms. Warren, a Harvard Law School professor and longtime consumer advocate.
