If there was one theme of last night’s Democratic Debate in Nevada, it was women candidates punching back, and landing some devastating blows of their own. In the eyes of CNN analyst and former Prince confidante Van Jones, Michael Bloomberg’s candidacy just hit an iceberg named Elizabeth Warren.

And then there was Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg. We already knew from the past debates that Klobuchar does not seem to care much for the mayor of South Bend, who she seems to see as an overly entitled man who is out of his depth. The two were positioned next to each other Wednesday night, and Buttigieg went on the offensive, at one point hitting Klobuchar for forgetting the name of the president of Mexico and for  voting to confirm judges nominated by President Trump. 

But Klobuchar pushed back hard. Politico compiled video of their escalating feud, and it runs just over five minutes.

“Are you trying to say that I'm dumb? Or are you mocking me here, Pete?” Watch Amy Klobuchar and Pete Klobuchar go toe-to-toe on tonight's Democratic debate stage. https://t.co/G5euYQHPJQ pic.twitter.com/ghknlQOli7

After watching that, no one should be surprised what happened once the debate ended.

Their exchange did not go unnoticed. The Daily Beast, ever the internet tabloid, did not go for subtlety, declaring that, "Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar Have Pure Hatred For Each Other."

More reacts:

Honestly, the bravest thing Pete has ever done is stand right next to Amy Klobuchar and start speaking Spanish while criticizing her. I screamed and ran out of the living room.

It's been clear for a while that Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar are on each other's nerves. The bad vibes burst open big time Wednesday night: https://t.co/d1vjJmZSfn

Amy Klobuchar’s exchanges with Pete Buttigieg remind me of every experienced, professional woman who is fed up with a less experienced man being up for the same promotion. #DemDebate

wish I loved anything as much as Amy Klobuchar loves reminding Pete Buttigieg that he has not won statewide
