In her first trip to Iowa after Thursday's Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren was forced to defend herself after an a report revealed she held an event in 2018 that charged people to get in.
On the debate stage Thursday, Warren criticized Buttigieg over a fundraiser that was held in a Napa Valley wine cave owned by billionaires. A bottle of wine cost $900 at the event, according to the AP report.
"Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States," she said on stage. Buttigieg shot back, pointing to her past practices and the transfer of $10 million from her Senate campaign to her presidential campaign – some of which had been raised at large donor events. "This is the problem with issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass," the mayor said. He argued that Democrats cannot afford to turn any donors or supporters away if they are going to get the resources necessary to defeat President Donald Trump.
Warren has since sworn off high-dollar fundraisers and has pledged not to take money from big donors. She and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders say big money is what's corrupting politics. "You know, I don't think the American people are looking for purity," Warren said in Cedar Rapids, when asked if she regrets holding the fundraiser."I think they're looking for someone who is trying – trying to make the system better. And that's what I'm doing."
