Klobuchar and Kennedy join Ivanka Trump in poking fun at Washington elite during annual Gridiron dinner.
FILE - In this Sunday, Feb. 10, 2019, file photo, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar laughs as she addresses a snowy rally where she announced she is entering the race for president at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis. Klobuchar was the Democratic speaker for the annual Gridiron Club and Foundation dinner, Saturday, March 2, 2019, in Washington.
Klobuchar promised the audience at the Renaissance Washington Hotel that her remarks would be “shorter than a Robert Kraft visit to the Orchids day spa.” Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots and a friend of President Donald Trump, has been charged in Florida with two counts of soliciting prostitution.
Kennedy had good news amid the Russia probe: No one in the Trump administration has been found to be “secretly working for the United States.” Recalling the New Orleans Saints’ loss in the NFL playoffs after a controversial call, he said, “Crime’s so bad we had a Super Bowl stolen from us.” “This isn’t a joke,” she said. In offering her father’s regrets for not attending, she said, “The opportunity to poke fun at the media is not something he passes up lightly.” For her dad, she said, “every day is a gridiron dinner.”
