Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) once ate a salad with her comb and ordered an aide to clean it after the staffer did not get her a fork.

The 2008 story during a trip the senator took to South Carolina is used as the lead anecdote in a blistering new story from The New York Times with the headline "How Amy Klobuchar Treats Her Staff."

The story is based on interviews with over two dozen former staffers to Klobuchar, according to the news outlet, and includes several details about the demands she placed on her staff.

It reports that many former aides described her treatment as â€œdehumanizing.â€

This story sounds a little far fetched

We do need a stable, thinking, honest person, who tells the truth, and who taste his/her words before speaking.

Hopefully, Klobuchar, another Trump, will drop out early in the election process.

I'm sorry, but the idea of somebody eating food with a comb they're been using is utterly revolting. Yuck. It would have served her right if her staffer did a slipshod job of washing it. Or wizzed on it, assuming he had to do it in the Lavatory.

She has a record of abusing her employees and staffers.

Hope more comes out soon!
