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

Warren seemed to be a bit stunned:
Ouch!
Zing! That's going to leave a mark. https://t.co/Lnx0aKYgEW
