Vice President Mike Pence accused Democratic White House hopeful Pete Buttigieg of attacking his Christian faith as the two men spent the week trading increasingly personal barbs.

“I hope that Pete will offer more to the American people than attacks on my Christian faith or attacks on the president as he seeks the highest office in the land,” Pence told CNN. “He’d do well to reflect on the importance of respecting the freedom of religion of every American.”
