Kind of a given if it comes from Trump: It's CRAP...
Appearing on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier, Klobuchar took issue with Trump’s somewhat rambling attacks on Harris in his White House press conference just minutes earlier. When asked to respond to Biden’s pick of the California senator, Trump had offered some vague criticism of Harris wanting raise taxes and cut funds for the military before he attacked her over her aggressive questioning of Brett Kavanaugh in his Supreme Court nomination hearing in 2018. He went on to call her “nasty,” “angry,” and “disrespectful,” reprising many of the same insults the has lobbed at numerous female journalists and powerful women who have challenged or disagreed with him, including Harris back in May 2019.
Baier, early in the interview, asked Klobuchar about Harris’ own failed presidential primary run and how she didn’t seem to satisfy either of the moderate or progressive wings of the party. “She failed in her presidential campaign because Democrats didn’t think she was authentic and that she couldn’t find her lane,” Baier said. “How do you respond to that criticism?”
“Well, first of all, I know her and I will vouch for her,” said Klobuchar, who ran her own ultimately unsuccessful 2020 bid. “She is authentic. I know her family. I know her husband. She can be a lot of fun. She is someone who has a zest for life and also knows how to make tough decisions. So, that’s my first answer.”
“The second thing is, I guess all of us failed if you don’t win and that’s because Joe Biden won,” Klobuchar added. “Every single one of us endorsed him with joy because we think it is so important to get behind a candidate, whether a Democrat, Republican or Independent, someone to bring decency and dignity and confidence and compassion to the White House.”
