Presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar on why Democrats should do Fox News town halls

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) was fresh off two campaign stops in Michigan on Saturday when she talked to the Michigan Advance en route to the airport.

She had just finished wrapping the Michigan Democratic Party Women’s Caucus luncheon in Detroit. Earlier that morning, Klobuchar advocated for protecting domestic violence victims from gun violence with U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn) in Ann Arbor.

In her exclusive interview with the Advance, Klobuchar drew a subtle distinction with one of her opponents, fellow U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), although not by name.

Warren made headlines last week when she announced on Twitter that she would not do a Fox News town hall, calling the network “a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists … designed to turn us against each other.”

I agree candidates have a duty to speak to all Americans, but I am very comfortable with Warren taking a stand on refusing to go on “hate for profit” Fox as long as others do and reach that audience. They are, and that duty of Democrats is being well covered.

Klobuchar is not well known, so who's going to criticize her for getting as much media exposure as possible?
