Harris goes after Biden on relationship with segregationists, saying his reported opposition to bussing is “personal,” because she was bussed to school as part of the second class to integrate. “This cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats,” she says, to huge cheers — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg talks about faith on the trail, tonight goes after GOP: “We should call out hypocrisy when we see it. For a party that associates itself with Christianity...to suggest God would condone putting children in cages has lost all claim to ever use religious language again.” — PolitiTweet.org
