Vice President Mike Pence Hits Back At Pete Buttigieg: ‘He Knows Better’
For months, Mayor Pete Buttigieg has derided Vice President Mike Pence’s partnership with President Donald Trump as a craven move to legitimize the thrice-married serial philanderer in the eyes of evangelical voters. Now, Pence’s first public remarks on the simmering feud accuse Buttigieg of being the cynical one.
“He said some things that are critical of my Christian faith and about me personally. And he knows better—he knows me,” Pence said in an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box that aired on Thursday morning.
“But I get it,” Pence continued. “You know, it’s, look, again, 19 people running for president on that side in a party that’s sliding off to the left. And they’re all competing with one another for how much more liberal they are.”
