Buttigieg Campaign Takes Swipes at Older Rivals Like Biden

[left-of-center2012]

Pete Buttigieg’s top campaign staff took veiled shots at Iowa front-runners Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, reflecting the candidate’s argument that it’s time for a fresh start in Washington.

Speaking at a Bloomberg News reporter roundtable in Des Moines on Saturday, senior adviser Lis Smith argued that Sanders’ proposals were too polarizing while Biden was relying on traditional tactics that will fail.

“The idea that we are going to take on someone like Donald Trump with the old playbook by saying I understand the ways of Washington, I hung out with Strom Thurmond 20 years ago, that’s just not going to happen,” she said.

Smith was making an indirect reference to Biden’s frequent citation of his longstanding relationships with Washington insiders, including those with two segregationist senators, including Thurmond.
