Sen. Amy Klobuchar said she was taking herself out of consideration to become Joe Biden’s running mate: 'I think this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket'

The senator said in an interview with MSNBC that she told Mr. Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, of her decision in a phone call Wednesday.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Skin color should not have anything with the ability to be president at a moments notice and to say so exposes you as the racist that you truly are.

I adore amyklobuchar and would love her to be VP and perhaps eventual President in 8.5 years. This just shows how much she cares deeply for this country vs having power.

Amy..why does skin color matter? Isn’t that racist?

She failed the Democrats race test....

She helped start this whole thing she turned the cop in Minnesota loose in exchange for union police votes

Choose the wrong running mate and DEMs give up the best chance they’ve had in 8 yrs

On a sidenote, I am pulling myself out of running for quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

Unfortunately there is not a really qualified person in the current crop of perspective democrat candidates that could partner up with senile Biden.

I think Joe should pick Pocahontas since she’s a woman of color

Why isn't she giving her Senate seat to a black person?

Rather racist comment, wasn’t it? If she said the job should go to a white female the Left would burn an effigy of her.

In other words, a Token

Disappointing...she was the human electoral torpedo towards Uncle Joe's election boat.

Lucky for joe Biden this senator looks disgruntled

In other words she was no longer considered. You’re fired, but we’ll let you resign.

She helped to turn loose the killer cop

Smart move.

What a shame.....a woman of any ethnicity has never been Vice President. She was a strong choice.

Ha haaaaa

Soooo, is Klobuchar implying that President Trump could gain her support if Condi Rice is on the ticket?

Well the, Democrats believe that the VP should be selected by gender and skin color.

amyklobuchar you demonstrate what country over selfishness means! Hope you will carry a major role in the next administration.

This is the problem. Dropping out because the best candidate MUST be a woman of color? I am so for inclusivity, but the tunnel vision is blinding. Bias in search of a specific outcome is not smart. Merit-based social-based.

Sweet! Quotas have returned in the Dem party! Guess what they’re trying to push on the rest of us as well.

She means an Asian or Latina, right?

...and to misquote Deng Xiao Ping: 'I just want a black cat, not a red cat, and I dint care if she can catch mice'

She knew she would never be a choice ; so snuffs out ewarren chances on the way out 👏🏽

What color would be best?

why because you realize you have lost your state and are an ineffectual leader?

Like she had a chance

....instead of a woman of hate!

Identity politics!!!

Hell, klobuchar could have been a little more specific and said “a woman of color who reamed Biden for his support of busing.”

Absolutely. That’s a pretty big pool, women of color. But it’s nice that she squeezed a virtue signal out of what was zero chance for vp.

it’s time for the best possible candidate amyklobuchar

So we should vote based on color? Isn’t that racist?

Anyone who is so hung up on color isn’t for me anyway.

The year that the Dems run a walking talking idiot for President, knowing that a bowling ball has more chance of winning; they’re going to put a Black woman on the ticket. That way, when Biden loses the Dems can use this for years to show how America is still racist!

Minnesota Stupid.

Opposite/happy

Her chances weren't that great anyway

What color?

Weak!

Omg the racist absurdity- picking a candidate based on the colour of their skin.

haha biden would'nt have picked you anyways!!

So he didn't want you, huh?

It's officially over for Biden

Good idea you weren’t going to be picked anyway. After not prosecuting the cop that killed Floyd I think you probably won’t run for office again

In dealing with its people, the US govt has behaved in the worst manner. The people of the United States have every right to feel embarrassed and ashamed by their govts, particularly the current govt. GeorgeFloydProtests

Mighty white of her.

Biden removed her from consideration 6 days ago. Now she’s removing herself a week later? C’mon.

Do people asked if Trump was a different race and he acted the same way, would we think of him differently. Yet there are conclusion just on color. Remember we concluded about Trump because he was not a politician.

Exactly who should be considered?

She had no chance when her record showed up after the riots

Her declining to take action against police brutality back when she was state prosecutor finished her anyway in the present political world, so her 'taking herself out of consideration' for the vice-presidential candidate doesn't mean much.

She had zero chance after her unwillingness to prosecute George Floyd's murderer years ago.

The decision should be based on qualifications, not skin color.

Stupid Democrats. She was the only woman that could have helped Biden win. All the others will be an anchor on Biden who is already an anchor to himself. Trump 2020!

Here, let me fix that. 'I'm not joining a losing ticket'.

I wonder if a white person, who removes themselves from competition w/ a black person, to give them a better chance, would ever be seen by that black person as condescending?

Identity politics at it’s finest.

知道这次不是老川的对手

I, a woman of color, literally want Warren as the VP so bad

A persons color shouldn’t be a good reason to make them a presidential candidate. That’s exactly what we’re trying to fight against.

She would have possibly been the best Dem candidate by Far!

Since when has not trying been a good look? I think she will regret that decision participationtrophychildren

I made a donation to Biden two weeks ago. If he selects Kamala Harris, I'll write-in someone else again. If he chooses Abrams, I'll double my donation to Trump.

I think she doesth day to much...

Yikes that's pretty entitled.

She looks slightly tan, isn't that a color?

Will some one please tell Senator she is of Color.. amyklobuchar

Self hating white racist that hated her own skin color she was born with.

Best Biden VP: upbeat blond woman from Florida- must intrigue the middle/undecideds/ex-Trumpers who could flip. He has the Dems.If libs & progressives don’t rock the vote cuz they don’t get their chocolate sprinkles, maybe they deserve Trump. It’s Trump-Not Trump Fine tune later.

Blklivesmatter CNN kaeun breakfastclubam AP RepMaxineWaters TheJusticeDept johnroberts_cj watersSpeakerPelosi CHICAGO. NO ONE MARCH THE STREETS. BREAK INTO STORES. Obama said its not his problem... 780 in one year. Pelosi kept her mouth closed.

Her spokesman also stated “It would have been better had Joe asked her to take herself out of the running, but he’s hiding underground in Delaware with a box of saltines and spray cheese spread”

This is ridiculous, let's pick a VP solely based on race. Makes no sense. Should be based on who's most qualified regardless of race.

In a way it's patronizing to Black or Hispanic women, they are 'giving' it to her. Earlier they were giving it to a women, then white women said give it to them they need it more!

Yes. Because decisions should be made based on the color of your skin.

😱Joe Biden is ‘White’ ... quick replace him too😂🤣😂

Bitch. E. Warren

Well, there goes the Rust Belt for Biden. Klobuchar would've been a good choice for Biden as she has Rust Belt Appeal but by playing identity politics the Dems are kissing their electoral victory goodbye.

Not a women but just to make it known JoeBiden, I also withdraw from the consideration for VP.

Amy, what you want a do ....?! 🎼

Why not the best candidate?

Best that she does so nobody has to look into her days as county prosecutor in Minneapolis overseeing the police department

BS.. she knows she wouldn’t be selected

She wasnt ever going to be Biden's running mate.

FORWARD COMRADES

You can’t fire me, I quit!

Original civil rights movement = don't see people by the color of their skin. Democrat hijacked civil rights movement = we must see people by the color of their skin.

I didn't like her long and boring stories!

Isn't it racist to select someone based on skin color? This is exactly what we are fighting! Biden must select the best woman for the job regardless of skin color.

affirmativeaction — is that progress?

I agree. I know someone recently out of a job that’s available....

maybe she can do us a favour, and go one step further and take herself right out of politics...

Dumb, how about the best person for the job, regardless of race, religion, sex, etc!!!!!

Smart woman. She does not want to be a puppet for the Left Democrats who will reign if Biden gets in office.

Just pick a good one since I don’t know if he could last even if he got it. Stay away from Harris and people like her.

Poor Amy! Strike 1: Husband was very sick with Covid19. He called Hydroxichloriquin “ Miracle Drug”. Strike2: Had the chance to put George Floyds Killer behind bars years ago but decided not to take his case. By not taking his case the cop went free. This is why she bowed out!

Amy Klobuchar once failed to prosecute Derek Chauvin, cop in Floyd death via nypost

We need some a heartbeat away from the presidency. Elizabeth Warren seems most prepared.

Michelle

She never was going to get it.

B/C she gave the Minneapolis Police Office a pass in 2006, she knew she would not be the pick.

this is more than disguesting

Take a knee and kiss boots Amy. Learn your place and heel. In all seriousness, the running mate must be radical, angry, and not white. I’m still surprised that the party of diversity has nominated an old, white guy with a terrible record particularly writing the 1994 crime bill.

This shows the hypocritical absurdity of Amy Klobachar. The person for VP should not be picked on the basis of their skin color. The person for VP should be pick on the basis of being best qualified to work for 'We, the people' in the position of US Vice President. Stop the BS!

Chinese Communist Party is ruining the world, and US politicians are thinking about this above.

Oh and the fact that Amy’s Husband who had Covid19 called Hydroxichloriquin “ Miracle Drug”. Yeah, that didn’t help her chances either.

Bravo Amy !!! I appreciate you and will always support you. Takes a very powerful, strong person to do this . You care very much for America and America comes first to you always . Thank you.

So, Elizabeth Warren then?

I smell desperation

Might as well put in a man of color as well?🤔

Love Democrate ! They want a VP of color not because she can do the job or because she is capable ! No just her skeen color matter ! Bravo way to go

Will Biden’s running mate be...

Sen. Klobachar is a distinguished, classy p as triot and would have been an outstanding VP. However, she is right. This time in history will be best served by one if the highly qualified women of color. blueunity

She was told by Joe that she is not being considered because she is white , now that is racist joe !

He needs to pick staceyabrams

How about Aunt Jemima? She's out of a job and well loved by everyone.

Now there's a true patriot of the US of A.

Too bad Amy let the cop that killed Floyd off the hook. Ruined her chances to be VP... She was the only one that could have replaced Biden after a year. Such a shame!

Too bad. I thought she would make an excellent candidate.

it's a lie! It's because her county fell into lawlessness due to her inaction and failure to prosecute bad cops

Pander much Amy?!?

This means TrumpRussia's fake BLM MeToo warriors and far left trolls will go all out pretending to care about 'Snake' Warren, and attack Amy for lifting black women.

Didn’t look forward to cleaning up Joe’s mess everyday...however has bought large quantities of Depends stock.

Imagine if every American who was never considered to be a Biden’s VP choice made a statement saying they are taking themselves out of something they weren’t ever going to be.

Hmmmm. Isn’t that racist? 🤔🤔🤔

Yes! That whole “best qualified for the job” thing is over rated. We should totally pick our Vice President based solely on skin color and gender 100%. And everyone better vote for her, or you are RACIST! blm BlackLivesMattters wsj Election2020 Racist jk

Sara Jay isn’t gonna be VP

Thank God!

What a patronizing, paternalistic witch. If you think there's a particular woman of color who should be the nominee, SAY HER NAME. Don't reduce the eventual nominee to just her gender and race.

Kamala Harris is a disgrace...

Class personified.

Yeah KamalaHarris has a track record of incarceration of people. When it came to holding police accountable, she had failed. She would be ideal. 🙄 BernieSanders where you at? We need you.

How about someone with the intelligent and skill set for the role.

All about Amy Our next backstabbing Secretary of State? Defense? Attorney General?

I love Amy but it seemed like she was already a long shot :(

I think that amy made the right choice, we need a powerful vice president like george bush. I personally dont believe in education. amy Klobuchar

She knows Biden will NOT pick her, given the racial climate in this country, so she decides to withdraw her name before she gets humiliated by mainstream media for not being Biden’s pick. Nice try, Ms. Klobuchar.

She is weak AF anyways.

It should be the most qualified person, not a token minority to appease the mob. With thinking like hers thank god her candidacy is over...

Racist comment!

That would be wonderful, but can we get someone qualified, ready to run the nation if necessary? Val Demmings is not it.

This is the time to put a qualified individual on the ticket. Enough with the pandering. Biden is going to lose anyway. amyklobuchar

How is this not racist? Just pandering

Kamala Harris or Susan Rice

The Democrats are so sad. Vote for somebody that supports all people with good policies rather than shallow pandering.

Good.

SHE THROWS STAPLERS AT HER STAFF!

Wait, she thought she was actually a VP candidate. LMAO! Can’t make this crap up. snowflakemadness

At least she is seeing the writing on the wall. 🙂

Dems identity politics at its best: treating the presidencial race as if it was the Academy Awards.

No worries, Senator Karen sinema, did, long ago. She just doesn't know it yet.

Amy Klobuchar is right.

She is a quitter

A woman of any color has never been the President, nor the Vice President.

Good job Amy, you’re a very smart woman !

I think this is a moment to put a president on the ticket that doesn’t have dementia.

Just what MLK wanted..Color over Character....

What is everyone waiting on?! Call Elizabeth Warren!!!

Amy was never considered for VP

So the vetting didn’t go well...got it.

So she withdraws her name but not before she tries to influence who he chooses? Yeah, that's Klobie.

Lol...taking herself out....its ok to be honest Klobuchar...

Kiss of death lol from Amy K

Imagine if someone would say: I think this is a moment to put a white woman on that ticket....

You were never in contention so this is just ridiculous
