Klobuchar: Trump 'trying to burn this country down on his way out'
The Hill ^ | 12/23/20 05:27 PM EST | BY CELINE CASTRONUOVO

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) this week claimed that President Trump is “trying to burn this country down on his way out” of office by not supporting the new coronavirus stimulus and government funding bill passed by Congress on Monday.

In an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show Tuesday night, Klobuchar responded to the president’s remarks shared on Twitter earlier in the day, in which he called the $2.3 trillion package that includes stimulus checks of $600 to Americans “a disgrace,” adding that the payments should be increased to $2,000.

The Minnesota senator and former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told Maddow that Trump’s failure to support the bill “is an attack on every American.”

“People who are struggling to get by right now, out of work, whose unemployment, the unemployment is going to basically end the day after Christmas if this doesn’t pass, people who are out of work, people who need the help,” she added.

Klobuchar then pointed out that the bill includes guidelines and funding for vaccine distribution, adding, “we need the help for the states to get the vaccines out and he is literally undermining our entire effort on testing and vaccine distribution.”

“This was a hard fought negotiation,” the Democratic congresswoman continued. “Democrats were pushing for more funds for the individual payments, but in the end, this was a negotiation, and he knows very well we’re reaching the end here with unemployment ... our small businesses can’t take it anymore.

“But he should not be doing this right now when his own treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, was involved in the negotiations from the beginning to end,” she added. “He is literally trying to burn this country down on his way out.”

A hard fought negotiation on pork distribution between staffs greenlit by Schumer and McConnell to decorate the fiscal tree with their ornaments.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)

Another entitled, confused, irrational and unaccountable female official.

Barnhardt : Tell me, Hilda, does all this frighten you? Does it make you feel insecure?

Hilda : Yes, sir, it certainly does.

Barnhardt : That’s good, Hilda. I’m glad.

Hey wench, the burning will come after your Biden and the vice succubus attempt to further damage the country.

And it won’t be ANTIFA doing the damage. And the targets won’t be businesses and other law abiding people. Note: Democrat critters are NOT law abiding people.
