Feud between Pete Buttigieg and Mike Pence escalates

The feud between Vice President Mike Pence and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg escalated on Tuesday when Karen Pence, the vice president's wife, questioned why the 2020 Democratic hopeful is targeting her husband.

Buttigieg's recent rise in the 2020 race has been anchored in a steady stream of attacks against Pence, the former Indiana governor who had a steady working relationship with the mayor during his time as the head of the state.

Buttigieg, however, has fired up Democratic audiences by attacking Pence's conservative views on the LGBTQ community. Buttigieg, who is gay, also slammed Pence during a CNN town hall last month, questioning the vice president's faith because of his work with the Trump administration.

"They've always had a great relationship," Karen Pence said on Fox News host Brian Kilmeade's radio show on Tuesday. "It's funny because I don't think the vice president does have a problem with him, but I think it's helping Pete to get some notoriety by saying that about the vice president."
