"“Unfortunately, this is not my grandmother's Democrat Party, right? This is not the party of sort of socially conservative, patriotic people,” Vance said in a Fox News interview clip that CNN's Dana Bash played for Buttigieg. “It's now the party of left-wing radicalism.” “Would he be a formidable opponent in 2028?” Bash asked Buttigieg."
"“Well, look, there's been a bit of a stink, politically, around the Trump administration generally and J.D. Vance politically,” Buttigieg responded. “He tends not to be very successful when he's out campaigning for people.” “Even overseas,” Buttigieg continued, teeing up a dig. “It seems to have been the kind of nail in the coffin of Viktor Orban in Hungary.”"
"Yesterday, Buttigieg slammed Vance for claiming he opposes fraud. Buttigieg shared a clip of Vance giving a speech in Kansas City, where the vice president said, “If you are committing fraud against the American people, you ought to go to prison.” “You could start by walking down the hall,” Buttigieg clapped back. “See why your boss keeps pardoning people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud.”"
Pete Buttigieg criticized Vice President J.D. Vance during recent interviews and speaking events. On CNN, Buttigieg joked about Vance’s trip to Hungary, saying it was a nail in the coffin for Viktor Orban after Vance campaigned for him shortly before Orban lost reelection. Buttigieg also attacked Vance’s claim that he opposes fraud, responding to Vance’s statement that people committing fraud should go to prison by saying Vance could start by walking down the hall. Buttigieg linked that response to the Trump administration’s pardons for people convicted of money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, and securities fraud. Earlier, Buttigieg mocked Vance’s dispute with the pope.
