Klobuchar: I Get Random Questions About the Mueller Report But I Really Hear About Economics and Health Care

‘But I think the main thing here is the public wants to see the report’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: “Jonathan, I am a former prosecutor and I believe in looking at evidence. I don’t have the report. I think it is important that the Justice Department announce that they’re going to give us the report, and then I can make that assessment myself.

But I think the main thing here is the public wants to see the report, 420 members of the House of Representatives unanimously voted that they want to see the report, so then let’s see the report.

But I think the other thing you’ve seen, and I’ve seen, being out there in Iowa, being in New Hampshire, being in South Carolina, and in Omaha this last weekend, is that people also are most alarmed not only by the chaos that we’re seeing in our justice system, but what they’re most alarmed about is the fact that just this week the president’s Justice Department announced that they’re going to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which, contrary to what Mr. Mulvaney just said, means that people will be kicked off their insurance for pre-existing conditions.

And while I do get random questions here and there about the Mueller report at town hall meetings, honestly what I really hear about is economics and people concerned about their livelihood for their family, how they’re going to pay for college, and most significantly, are they going to lose their health care.”
