2020 Dem Says Impeachment Trial May Be Extended, Won’t Stop Fighting For Witnesses [Video]
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is still running for president. Did you know that? Who would’ve figured she’d have lasted this long, considering her own supporters probably have a tough time spelling her name.
After the Senate all but moved to acquit President Trump on Friday afternoon, Klobuchar had a few words to say. Ultimately, she’s not done with impeachment. She wants to keep the circus in town a while longer, via Daily Wire:
Following the Senate vote to block witnesses in the partisan impeachment of President Donald Trump, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) signaled that Democrats have not been deterred by the vote, but will continue to prolong the process for new witnesses.
Klobuchar said, “The caucuses are meeting right now.“
She noted, “Right now we’re looking at amendments that we could do to maybe be more specific about witnesses, or getting more time. … Maybe with each and every day it will change their mind on allowing witnesses.“
She added, “So, that’s what we’re working on right now.“
If you don't have witnesses, you do not have a fair trial.
The truth will come out.

The Senate voted 51-49 to block witnesses, seemingly paving the way for President Trump’s acquittal. Republican Senators Mitt Romney (UT) and Susan Collins (ME) both defected, joining the Democrats to vote in favor of new witnesses.
WATCH:
"It’s not going to be five months from now, or five weeks from now, where the truth comes out. It's probably going to be five days from now.”

After a federal judge declared Obamacare unconstitutional, Klobuchar went on CBS to claim America needs “universal health care.”
Run on that, Amy. See how it works out for you.
Klobuchar claimed, “We need universal health care. There are many ways to get there. That is one of them. The other is to at least expand Medicare to age 55. There’s a number of bills that I’m part of, including allowing expansion of Medicaid, which I think is something we’re not talking enough about, that Senator Schatz from Hawaii is leading.“
