Desparate Klobuchar Conjures John McCain and Dictators for Attention

It must be getting pretty hard to stand out in the massive 2020 democratic field.

Now that the democrats have populated their 2020 field with two dozen candidates for president, the silly and salacious behavior is set to begin.

Standing out in such an enormous gaggle of progressive is going to prove difficult for the democrats, especially now that Joe Biden’s eventual announcement has seemingly sucked all of the air out of the room. The former Vice President is currently sitting well above the rest of his field, besting his nearest competitor Bernie Sanders by double digits in recent polls.

So now the left will turn ever more vitriolic and bombastic in order to seek attention.

Amy Klobuchar has already gone this route, allegedly quoting the late John McCain at a recent campaign stop.

In her remarks before supporters in Iowa, Klobuchar recounted how she sat beside McCain and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during President Trump’s inaugural address

“I sat on that stage between Bernie and John McCain, and John McCain kept reciting to me names of dictators during that speech because he knew more than any of us what we were facing as a nation,” said the White House hopeful, the Huffington Post reported on Saturday. “He understood it. He knew because he knew this man more than any of us did.”

McCain’s daughter Meghan, who is currently working as a television host for The View, fired back at Klobuchar via Twitter.

On behalf of the entire McCain family – @amyklobuchar please be respectful to all of us and leave my fathers legacy and memory out of presidential politics.

McCain, although a republican, had butted heads with President Trump on several occasions, quite publicly. This fact seems to have given the democrats a reason to praise and revere the late Senator and veteran, much to the dismay of those who knew him best.
