Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar issued a statement promising to do better by her staff, following allegations she had frequently mistreated them
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar issued a statement late Friday promising to do better by her staff, following allegations she had frequently mistreated them.
“I’m incredibly proud of the work our staff has done and I would not be here without amazing staff,” the Minnesota senator the Star Tribune in a statement. “I know I can be tough, I know I can push people too hard, and I also know I can do better — and I will.”Klobuchar jumped into the presidential race on Feb. 10. In the run-up to the announcement, she faced multiple allegations of mistreating her staff amid a toxic work environment.
Reports in the Huffington Post, New York Times and BuzzFeed News detailed claims that Klobuchar had thrown objects in anger, insulted her staff and made them run personal errands. Other staff members have said that while the three-term senator demands a lot from her employees, she has always been fair and dismiss the reports as sexist.
