IIRC, they are not permitted to address a question to another candidate. The "right" way would have been to say something like, "and this is where my experience differentiates me from someone like Elizabeth Warren whose expertise is mostly related to domestic policy, and who has few credentials to lead this country as commander in chief." Then, because Warren's name were "invoked," she would be given a chance to respond.

If you're going to play the game, you need to play by its rules.

She needs no protection period.

Especially since Dems shouldn’t need protection from Dems.

you proceeded, also, to veer way off into the weeds with an off the wall demand of the other participants regarding which have served in the military. (I think that's where she was going with that.)

She struck me as a Jim Jones kind of person who tries to brow beat others to "join me in..." followed by demands for contrary rationale for the sake of argument. A poor attempt at persuasion and embarrassment of the opponent based on pretzelogic. I don't like her threatening sounding monotone either.
