Moments ago Amy Klobuchar delivered a emotional opening statement that spent a lot of time attacking President Trump.
"Your health care is on the line. [Republicans] are trying to push through a justice who has been critical of upholding the [ACA], and they're doing it in the middle of a pandemic…You can see here in this room the misled priorities of this Republican-run Senate." —@AmyKlobuchar pic.twitter.com/4PGohtzCnW

Amy Klobuchar says the American people are the only thing that can alter Barrett's hearings: "It is you calling Republican senators and telling them enough is enough, telling them it is personal, telling them they have their priorities wrong. So do it" https://t.co/uScvfX9o80 pic.twitter.com/O2yTFqMocy

Anti-Trump pundit Jennifer Rubin was a fan of Klobuchar’s performance and wrote “Amy Klobuchar is killing it. Just as I hoped, putting the Republicans on trial. Dispensing with the fantasy we do not know how she will vote. THIS is how to use the hearings.. as an ad vs. Trump and Republicans”

Here are some other comments:
Amy Klobuchar:
“He has called our military suckers and losers. He has refused to condemn white supremacists and he has the gal to hold up a bible as a prop in front of a church instead of heeding its words.”
I thought this was a Supreme Court nomination hearing?

“Sen. Klobuchar just referred to “these policies that the Court decides.” Despite the presentations on the ACA, justices are not supposed to decide policies, not rule on the legality or constitutionality of laws.”

“Yawn. @amyklobuchar claims Trump “refused to condemn white supremacists.” It’s a lie. A really bad one. I won’t bother with tweeting a fact check (yet) because anyone who saw the #VPDebate knows the truth.”
