During an appearance at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas yesterday, Minnesota Senator and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar was critical of her fellow Minnesotan Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic remarks which questioned the loyalty of American Jews. Klobuchar argued, "I believe you can be true to your country and advocate for another country, whether it is Israel or Canada or Ethiopia.”
While Klobuchar's remarks aren't nearly as strong as those of her 2020 rival Kirsten Gillibrand they are certainly better than those of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. They are also certainly significant given that Klobuchar is taking aim at a member of her state's congressional delegation.
But when Klobuchar cannot draw a fraction of the audience Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew at SXSW then what Klobuchar says probably won't matter very much. I'm sure Klobuchar would like to throw a binder at AOC right about now.
