Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) slammed presidential hopeful Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D., Ind.) for criticizing his fellow Democratic rivals in advance of Tuesday’s debate.
In an interview with Snapchat’s Peter Hamby, Buttigieg said that Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D., Mass.) promise to go without big-money fundraisers if nominated would not be enough to defeat President Donald Trump. Buttigieg also described Beto O’Rourke’s gun-confiscation proposal as a way for the former Texas representative to “pick a fight to stay relevant.” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez took issue with the South Bend mayor on Monday evening.
“Small-dollar grassroots campaigns, aka what Buttegieg [sic] insults here as ‘pocket change,’ out-fundraise him by millions,” she wrote on Twitter. “Our nation’s leaders should be working to end the era of big money politics, not protect it. & Beto’s gun policy isn’t ‘picking a fight,’ it’s taking a stand.”
