Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg swiped at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at a town hall in Virginia on Sunday as he works to boost support for his presidential campaign in the Super Tuesday state. Appearing at a crowd of nearly 7,000 on a high school football field in Arlington, Buttigieg cast his campaign as an effort to build a big Democratic tent while painting Sanders's movement as exclusionary and fueled by ideological purists.
In a few short days we can go one way or the other as a party
. I respect my friend Sen. Sanders. I believe the ideals he talks about are ideals we all share. But I also believe the way we build the movement to defeat Donald Trump is to bring them into our tent and not to call them names online, Buttigieg said in reference to vocal Sanders supporters who have been accused of going after other 2020 contenders.
Buttigieg warned that Sanders could endanger frontline Democrats further down the ballot who would have to answer for their presidential nominees progressive stances.
We had better make sure that we got a nominee at the top of the ticket who cannot just take back the White House but keep the House in the right hands and send [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) packing, he said.
