And it started as such a big day for A-Klo, who shocked the world by winning the endorsement of the Star Tribune’s editorial board<\/a>, a group composed of people who used to get blackout drunk with her father. There are no words to describe our amazement that the Strib – a paper that’s served not only as Klobuchar’s PR firm, but the controller of all information about her, thoughout her career, would make such a bold, brave…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…Oh, I can’t keep a straight face any more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway – the day didn’t end nearly as well, as protesters affiliated with Black Lives Matter, irate over the Myon Burrell case, derailed one of her love-fests in Saint Louis Park last night<\/a>, bum-rushing the stage and occupying it until the campaign cried uncle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe campaign offered a meeting with the senator if they would leave the stage after being onstage for more than an hour,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cAfter the group initially agreed, they backed out of the agreement and we are canceling the event.\u201d<\/p>

Questions over Klobuchar\u2019s prosecutorial record, namely her handling of the Burrell case when she was the top attorney in Hennepin County, Minn., have dogged the senator since she announced her presidential bid last year. Klobuchar has also faced criticism for declining to prosecute cases involving police accused of using excessive force against black suspects, The Washington Post\u2019s Elise Viebeck and Michelle Ye Hee Lee reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How bad was it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bad (Twitter link here<\/a>, in case the tweet below doesn’t display properly)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
