Jane Lynch Hits ‘Class Warfare’ After Warren’s ‘Wine Cave’ Dig at Buttigieg
Actress Jane Lynch has been getting criticism today after she tweeted in defense of Pete Buttigieg after a fiery exchange he had with Elizabeth Warren at last night’s debate.
Warren and Buttigieg got into it over wealthy donors, with Warren directly calling out his fundraiser in a “wine cave.” Buttigieg responded saying she’s “issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass.”
Lynch — one of the big names at a star-studded fundraiser for Buttigieg in May — tweeted today, “Hello everyone. Billionaires in wine caves have as much right to say who gets to be president as waitresses in diners and plumbers in my bathroom. Class warfare is ugly, @ewarren Thanks for listening everyone.”

Lynch received some criticism on Twitter in response:
Billionaires in wine caves have WAY MORE SAY about who gets to be president than waitresses & plumbers *precisely because they're billionaires* who can throw lavish parties, buy politicians & subvert democracy. Class warfare is waged against the poor, not the wealthy. https://t.co/2no4ZlZeI6

Thank you Jane Lynch for having the courage and conviction to stand up for the marginalized voices of {checks notes} billionaires. https://t.co/MGIJVSnLaY

Lynch is under the mistaken belief that it's the working class who started this war.

Today I learned Jane Lynch is just playing herself in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. https://t.co/el054L8ts9

Class warfare has been happening forever and rich people are winning by billions.
