Sen. Amy Klobuchar's nascent presidential campaign has been dogged by allegations that the Minnesota Democrat mistreated her Senate staff. In an interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow on Thursday, the senator admitted she"can always do better" with her staff, but said her toughness would be an asset on the world stage.

Klobuchar cast the reports of staff mistreatment as a positive for her ability to operative on the international stage as president, namely when dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin."If you are a boss, you have to have high standards, and that is what I have always had. And that doesn't mean it's a popularity contest all the time," she said.

Bye bye!!!

Really? If you must do that you are not a good team leader. Sorry.

Putin? The Lisa Page transcripts have shown once and for all that there is/was no Russian collusion. To continue posting stories like this 2 days after the narrative has been shattered is an insult to all of us who have read those transcripts. If you haven't yet...you should.

How would she know...

Lol you are a mean nasty ...b...iotch

🤣

What does Putin have to do with how she treats her staff? Good Lord liberals blaming everybody but themselves

and Putin works for her does he?

Riiiiight..what's that got to do with her staff

Is Putin on her staff 🧐

Putin is on Klobberchopper's staff😳

Nice try lady. We didn't fall for it.

Putin will roll over her like a steamroller over hot asphalt.

Every time I see amyklobuchar I picture he with a whip in her hand.

lol, oh man. “I treat my staff like Putin.”

Hopefully the people will do the same with this govt.. the do as I say not as I do has just about everyone fed up with our whole gov't

Sorry, that argument doesn't hold water. You can be tough to Putin w/o treating your staff like dogs.

Big diff between toughness and abuse!

I trust her just about as much as I like her haircut 🤷🏼‍♂️

Treat interns as you would treat Putin. Not crazy at all

Good I appreciate this

That’s all we need is another psychopath as President

Good

Otherwise he will do this to you

I love being tough and encouraging high standards. However she just seems selfish and cruel. Requiring people to work for three times the maternity/paternity leave? Punishment for having a child? Ridiculous.

nope, being a dick and being tough when it matters are not the same.

I don't condone that kind of 'tough' treatment of employees by any means. However........I can't help but think as I read the article that if Amy Klobucher was a man, she would just be considered a successful businessman. Like Trump.
