Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg engaged in a riveting back-and-forth at Thursday's debate that punctuated how much they view each other as a threat
LOS ANGELES — The simmering feud between Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg the past few weeks had been confined to a tit-for-tat followed mostly by political reporters and political junkies. On Thursday, it spilled into open view before a national audience — and in captivating fashion.
Buttigieg "just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900 a bottle wine — think about who comes to that," Warren said. "Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States."in her campaign, continued: "We can’t have people who can put down $5,000 for a check drown out the voices of everyone else.
But Buttigieg zeroed in again on Warren, arguing that she's naive to write off a source of financial support against an extremely well-heeled incumbent president. "Did it corrupt you, senator? Of course not," Buttigieg said of Warren's fundraisers during her Senate tenure. "So to denounce the same kind of fundraising guidelines that President Obama went by, that Speaker Pelosi goes by, that you yourself went by until not long ago to build the Democratic Party and build a campaign ready for the fight of our lives — these purity tests shrink the stakes of the most important election.
