OUCH! Elizabeth Warren's look after Pete Buttigieg's comment about 'issuing purity test you yourself can't pass' is heap big awkward

The action at the Democrat debate escalated fairly quickly after Pete Buttigieg’s comment about “purity tests” was directed at Elizabeth Warren:

HAHAHAHA. Buttigieg tells Warren she can't even pass her own purity standards. #DemDebate

It just got awkward, didn’t it?

"This is the problem with issuing purity tests you yourself cannot pass." – Buttigieg to Warren.

Warren: This guy hung out in a wine cave with rich people.

Buttigieg: I'm the only person here who's not a millionaire or billionaire. "This is the problem with issuing purity tests you yourself cannot pass."

Fiiiight!

Here’s the exchange:

WATCH: @ewarren hits @PeteButtigieg for holding fundraisers "in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900-a-bottle wine."

Buttigieg responds by saying Warren is creating "a purity that [she herself] cannot pass." #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate pic.twitter.com/YuKeZxpi9t
