Along with all of the other cogent points Klobuchar made about Republican hypocrisy, good for her for calling them out on not addressing the HEROES Act since May. Since MAY. Well done.

"Theatre" my ass. They want autocracy, with sledge hammer rule and extrajudicial killing (their mobs will be just fine and "law enforcement" will support it. Law and order? More projection. 45 will end up in prison if Democracy prevails. He is a cornered, rabid animal and McConnell, Barr, Cruz all know it and will defend him to the end. I hope the end is near for all of them.

For this video. I want to see that passion and intellect from every single Dem in Senate and Congress. Represent your constituents by representing the anger we have and the out of Fucks we have left. The Cruz’s Graham’s, Turtles, and Rand Paul’s need a 250 million person bitch slap. Every one of those faces are screaming for that slap. My arm is in the cocked position. We are all Rand Paul’s Neighbor. Hope President Biden gives him the Congressional Medal of Freedom at his first SOTU.

I love the way she tells guys like Cruz off. Won’t do any good but it makes us feel good to hear it and maybe some voters might hear this and it might push them over the edge to vote for Joe.

I am so proud to call Amy Klobuchar my Senator. She is brilliant and I know she will keep fighting for all of us. She would have made a great running mate for Joe Biden. I know Kamala Harris is a good running mate, too, but of course, I'm partial to Amy Klobuchar and I know she will never quit.

It was plain, she was so angry, she was near breaking, and yet she kept her language civil, her tone solid, and her words sharp enough to split a sheet of paper in two the hard way.

Good for you, Amy. He's been asking for a tongue-lashing for a long time.

He contradicted the statements he made when they robbed Obama of his Supreme Court nomination and lied about the history of Supreme Court nominations and customs/precedents involved. She was calling him out on his hypocrisy and alternative version of history.

Sen . Klobuchar: ...."Thank you, Mr. Chair.."

Chairman: "Thank you, Anna" (Not, Thank you Senator Klobuchar, as would have been appropriate.) Being a Republican, by definition, means being a person morally and intellectually incapable of showing proper respect.
