Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg slammed rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for being “extremely evasive” when being asked how she'd pay for Medicare for All if elected president.

Asked during a Sept. 19 appearance on CNN about Warren dodging the question during the last 2020 debate, Buttigieg said that Warren “is known for being straightforward and was extremely evasive when asked that question and we’ve seen that repeatedly.”
