Amy Jean Klobuchar, born May 25, 1960 (age 63), is the senior United States Senator from Minnesota. She is a member of the communist-dominated Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL),[1] an affiliate of the national Democratic Party. Klobuchar is a sponsor of the Green New Deal.

U.S. Senate

Klobuchar has been accused of being cruel and abusive toward staff members.[2] Klobuchar habitually humiliates staff members and is prone to ill-tempered outbursts and throwing objects at workers underneath her.[3] Klobacher regularly uses public shaming in front of others to critique worker's efforts. She has at times reduced staffers to tears. Complaints among staffers have made it all the way up to Democrat Leader Harry Reid, who issued a reprimand for her mistreatment of aides and an apology to staffers and interns.[4][5]

When questioned by reporters about the unflattering allegations, Klobuchar responded, "Yes, I can push back,"[6] a possible indication of a suspicion complex and paranoid personality disorder that even close associates are "out to get her."

In violation of Senate ethics rules, Klobuchar assigned demeaning tasks such as washing her dirty dishes in her home and picking up her dry cleaning. When questioned, press aides of the Klobuchar machine used the old trope of charging sexism, implying that male colleagues do it all the time.

The reality of working for Klobuchar is at odds with the Midwestern-nice image she has cultivated in public: an unflappable workhorse and “The Senator Next Door,” which was the title of her 2015 memoir.

Klobuchar has nearly tripled her net worth in her time in the Senate.[7]

2020 Presidential candidacy

Klobuchar announced her candidacy for the 2020 presidential election making global warming and the Green New Deal her number one issue under blizzard conditions during record snowfalls in February 2019.

Obama campaign manager David Axelrod remarked of Klobuchar,
"My fear for the Democratic Party is that people are going to see who can be the most virulent, anti-Trump person — and that is his game; his game is to be angry and snide. I think people are exhausted. I think people want to believe that we can be better than that.”[8]
BuzzFeed reported
“The way Sen. Klobuchar behaves in private with her staff is very different than when she’s in the public eye, and that kind of cruelty shouldn’t be acceptable for anyone.”[9]
Huffington Post reported on her reputation for cruelty and repeated emotional abuse. Vanity Fair claims "Terrified aides say Amy Klobuchar is just like Trump,"[10] and that veteran Senate staffers have refused to work on her presidential campaign staff. Klobuchar has had the highest turnover rate of staffers of any Senator between 2000 and 2016.[11] Commenting on Eric Holder's advocacy of violence, the New York Times quoted Klobuchar as saying, "when they go low, we have to respond,” and responding "means continuing to push your own agenda." Klobuchar's agenda includes the New Green Deal, the War on Cow Flatulence, and the communist Medicare for All proposal.

Facebook

BuzzFeed reported on Klobuchar's temper tantrums about Facebook:
Klobuchar’s behavior as a leader didn’t just affect her employees but limited their ability to conduct Senate work, creating a chaotic environment where staff were forced to devote as much time to managing their boss’s unpredictable anger as they did to governing.
“She can be just as mad about a crisis with Facebook” as she was about being given the wrong clothing for an event, said a second former staffer, pointing to the senator's work on issues surrounding Facebook. “It will take you just as much staff time and energy to put out that kind of crisis as you spend on Facebook.”
The employees all asked not to be named, most because of fear of retribution from Klobuchar.
