Sen. Amy Klobuchar is knocking Trump as being too soft on Putin

Sen. Amy Klobuchar is knocking Trump as being too soft on Russian President Vladimir Putin during their recent phone call.

Trump and Putin on Friday had their first known call since the release of the special counsel's report on Russian election meddling, and Trump said he didn't warn the Russian president against interfering in future elections.

Klobuchar told reporters after an event in Des Moines, Iowa, that her message would be very different.

"What I would say when I'm president to Vladimir Putin is that we've got your number, I've got the FBI after you, I've got the CIA looking at all of this, I've figured out what you guys are up to and we're going to protect our elections and we're going to put increasing sanctions on against you."

Klobuchar also said she was frustrated that congressional investigators haven't been able to question special counsel Robert Mueller, whom she described as "the witness we need to go after Russia so that they don't attack our elections again."

I ‘m not some patsy like George W Bush.

EDIT: I’ve brought a special comb with me as a gift, but I can see you don’t need one anymore.

Really? That’s not going to get her voters.

I think Amy Klobuchar is very smart and has a great deal to offer, but she seems to be running a bad campaign. I don’t want to say who it reminds me of.

I'm proud of her. She has a lot to offer America, and I like watching her execute her questioning. There seems to be a distinctive method to what she does with her time, and I like it. But, thats jmho. We have a deep bench.

Trump is owned by Putin. Trump is a Russian agent as are the Republicans who support Trump.
