South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg ducked questions Sunday morning about Hillary Clinton’s accusation that fellow candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset.

Jake Tapper asked Buttigieg how he felt about Clinton’s comments on the Campaign HQ podcast that the Hawaii Democrat was a “favorite of the Russians” and was an asset being groomed as a third party candidate to undermine the Democratic candidate in the 2020 election.
