Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign released an ad Saturday that mocks rival Pete Buttigieg’s experience as mayor of South Bend, Ind. “Both Vice President Biden and former Mayor Buttigieg have taken on tough fights. “And under the threat of disappearing pets, Buttigieg negotiated lighter licensing regulations on pet chip scanners.”The mocking continues: "Both Vice President Biden and former Mayor Pete have helped shape our economy. Pete Buttigieg revitalized the sidewalks of downtown South Bend by laying out decorative brick." Buttigieg’s campaign shot back at what it called “this classic Washington-style of politics.”“While Washington politics trivializes what goes on in communities like South Bend, South Bend residents who now have better jobs, rising income and new life in their city don’t think their lives are a Washington politician’s punchline,” national press secretary Chris Meagher said in a statement Saturday afternoon.
