Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg hit frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden for his role in backing the Iraq war, which the South Bend, Ind., mayor deemed the nation's "worst foreign policy decision" of his lifetime.
"This is an example of why years in Washington is not always the same thing as judgment," Buttigieg said.
"He supported the worst foreign policy decision made by the United States in my lifetime, which was the decision to invade Iraq."
Biden was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when the U.S. went to war. He is the only top-tier candidate in the race who voted for the war. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was a sitting House member at the time of the decision and vocally opposed the war.
