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.
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."
