Andrew Yang and Michael Bennet engage in satirical pre-debate Twitter feud
Ahead of the second round of Democratic presidential debates, White House hopefuls Michael Bennet and Andrew Yang engaged in a friendly Twitter feud on Friday.
“I would like to signal to the press that I will be attacking Michael Bennet at next week’s debate,” tweeted Yang, a tech entrepreneur, tagging the Colorado senator.{mosads}
“Sorry @MichaelBennet but you know what you did,” Yang added in the Friday morning tweet.

The debate didn’t end there, as later on Friday afternoon, Yang fired back, tweeting: “If I only get 3 minutes of talking time in the next debate I’m still using all of them to attack @MichaelBennet.”
