Article snippet: LOS ANGELES – Long-simmering tensions between South Bend, Ind., Mayor MORE.But for Warren and Buttigieg, tensions that brewed for months eventually burst out into the open — the culmination of weeks of feuding over transparency that had, until Thursday, unfolded mostly through statements to the media, proxies and thinly veiled jabs. The veteran shrugged off the comment, underscoring how important it is that Democrats use every tool they can to beat Trump in 2020. “We’re in the fight of our lives right now. Donald Trump and his allies have made is abundantly clear that they will stop at nothing,” he continued. “This is our chance, this is our only chance to defeat Donald Trump and we shouldn’t try to do it with one hand tied behind our backs.”Warren pushed the exchange further, describing a recent fundraising event by Buttigieg in a “wine cave full of crystals.”“We made the decision many years ago that rich people in smoke-filled rooms would not pick the next president of the United States,” she said. “Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the president of the United States.” The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2019 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
