Warren appears to target Buttigieg as she slams people who 'suck up to billionaires'

MANCHESTER, NH – Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg came under attack at Friday night’s Democratic presidential nomination debate by two of his top-tier rivals over his acceptance of campaign donations from billionaires and his reliance on super PACs to help support his White House bid.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren – who’s contributions have almost entirely come from small dollar grassroots donors – slammed the former South Bend, Indiana mayor without naming him.

“I don’t think anyone should be able to buy their way into a nomination or to be president of the United States, she emphasized, before adding that, “I don’t think people who suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns ought to do it.”

It was crystal clear she was training her fire on Buttigieg.

The progressive senator from Massachusetts then added that “everyone on this stage is either a billionaire or is receiving help from PACs that can do unlimited spending. So if you really want to live where you say, then put your money where your mouth is and say no to the PACs.”

The strange thing is - RATS would put billionaire Bloomberg, a one-percenter, on top of the ticket if he has any shot at beating President Trump. That would mean a bit of sucking up, no?

“I don’t think people who suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns ought to do it.”

Buttplug knows all about that.

Watching Donald Trump dispatch the contenders and pretenders in 2016 was entertaining as hell.

This cycles democrat primary is an entire three ring circus of fools.
The scary part is a solid 40+% of the country will vote for the winner

Warren is such a disgusting human being. Zero personality and all the wrong policies.

I hope Butt-gigity and Sanders crush the beer-drunk Injun imposter in New Hampshire.

Was that an accidental choice of words about sucking up? At this stage of the campaign people will parse every word like the meaning of “is” is.
