Amy Klobuchar:
“Really, I thought what Alex said that is worth remembering in this interview is that this president isn’t looking out for public safety when he tries to create this mayhem. And in fact, all of this comes in the tale. This was Alex’s point of his big beautiful betrayal of a Bill in so much trouble, kicking people off of Medicaid, all of this. And this is when Donald Trump decides to bring in the National Guard. Not on January 6th when over 100 officers were injured, but at this moment in time, he tries to flood the news with the story while we are in the middle of the debate over a Bill that will amounts to the biggest cuts we’ve ever seen to medicaid, to food assistance, increases the debt, as his buddy Elon Musk has says is an abomination of $3 trillion. And he has, I will say for days now successfully made this a story. I think that’s changing because I think what you’re gonna see next week is a major, major reckoning about this Bill.”
Senator Amy Klobuchar’s mindset, as revealed in her CNN remarks, reeks of political desperation. Her allegation that President Trump isn’t prioritizing public safety is baseless and twists his clear record. Trump’s 2024 campaign was built on law and order, perfectly aligning with his 2025 National Guard deployment to quell the Los Angeles riots. Her claim that he deployed the Guard to “flood the news” and distract from the “Big Beautiful Bill” slashing Medicaid and food assistance is not only unsupported by evidence—it’s a stupid, laughable leap that assumes Trump would orchestrate a national security response to dodge a bill debate. This accusation reeks of projection, as such a cynical tactic sounds more like a Democrat’s playbook, revealing why Klobuchar even thinks this way. Her narrative is a deceptive attempt to mislead, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper shamefully let it slide unchallenged.
Equally dishonest is her claim that Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard on January 6, 2021, a deliberate distortion to paint him as complicit in the Capitol chaos. Trump pre-authorized 10,000 troops on January 3, 2021, but the Capitol Police Board and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s hesitation—driven by concerns over optics—caused a three-hour delay after Capitol Police requested aid at 1:49 p.m. The National Guard was eventually deployed to the Capitol around 5:40 p.m. that day. Unlike the Los Angeles riots, which Democrats like Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass allowed to rage for four days by failing to use state intervention until federal troops arrived, January 6 was a single-day event, making Klobuchar’s comparison dishonest. By omitting the roles of the Board and Bowser, she pushes a false narrative that Trump orchestrated the unrest, a claim so ridiculous it’s stunning Cooper didn’t call her out. Klobuchar’s framing, projecting her party’s tactics onto Trump, is a masterclass in political spin, banking on viewers missing the facts.
