2020 Democrats push back on Castro exchange with Biden: 'So personal and so unnecessary' [View all]
The HillSeveral candidates told reporters in the spin room following Castro's remarks that the former secretary's rhetoric onstage had verged on Trumpian, according to CNN.
"It feels like something that Donald Trump might tweet," Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) told CNN, adding that the attack was "so personal and so unnecessary."
"I've seen this movie before in the last election," added Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who added that Castro's concerns about Biden were "legitimate."
"But you saw the way I did it. It wasn't a cheap shot," he added of his own past clashes onstage with the former vice president.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) also took aim at Castro onstage Thursday night over the tenor of Castro's remarks.
