HuffPost
The Minnesota senator mocked the president's supporters at the Washington Press Club Foundation Annual Congressional Dinner.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) refused to walk on eggshells as she cracked jokes aimed at President Donald Trump and Republicans on Wednesday.
Klobuchar — who was among those trading jabs at the Washington Press Club Foundation Annual Congressional Dinner — noted that the organization dates back to when there were 46 states and jokingly rejoiced that the U.S. would add more states thanks to lands on Trump’s radar: Canada, Panama and Greenland.
“Speaking of Greenland, there’s a question for you that I want to pose. What is the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale,” joked Klobuchar of a president who’s found a friend in the constitutional chaos-making donor Elon Musk and other tech billionaires.
The punchline got a sea of boos from the D.C. crowd and Klobuchar was ready to hit back at the president’s supporters.
“OK, for any Republican Trump administration person out there, they want to throw eggs at me as a result of that joke. You can’t, because they’re too expensive,” said Klobuchar with a chuckle.
