Senator Klobuchar Faces Backlash for 2 AM Tweet
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) received a barrage of criticism on social media following a tweet she posted in the early hours of the morning after the passage of a significant spending bill.
Controversial Tweet
In her late-night message, Klobuchar celebrated the passage of the $1.2 trillion federal spending package and concluded with the words “You’re welcome,” sparking outrage among online users.
Congressional Response
The bill passed in the Senate by a 74-24 margin, facing more resistance in the House, where a majority of Republican representatives opposed it. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) even motioned to remove House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) for his role in advancing the bill. Additionally, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) criticized the package for failing to allocate funds for border security, condemning any Republican supporting the bill.
Public Reaction
Online responses poured in swiftly, with many highlighting their discontent with the bill’s financial implications and expressing displeasure at Klobuchar’s tweet.
- John Hawkins tweeted, “That’s government in a nutshell. Wasting staggering amounts of our money on useless garbage we didn’t want done in the first place and then wanting a thank you for it.”
- Royce White commented, “They have the audacity to pretend like they’re doing you a favor… INFLATION. #Godspeed”
- Phil Labonte shared, “That ‘you’re welcome’ is like nails on a chalkboard.”
- Carol Roth expressed concern, “We will ruin the country and debase the currency and you must thank us.”
- Real Phil Jones criticized, “You just screwed millions of Americans and you are saying ‘you’re welcome’? Typical Democrat!”
In the midst of escalating spending and public discontent, the tweet from Senator Klobuchar exemplifies the growing divide between lawmakers and their constituents.
