Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) offered an odd defense for how hard she is on her staff, telling CNN on Thursday that she needs to be because when youre out there on the world stage and dealing with people like [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, yeah, you want someone whos tough.
In an interview with CNN s Poppy Harlow, Klobuchar said she can always do better with her employees but insisted that her toughness is necessary.
If you are a boss, you have to have high standards, and that is what I have always had. And that doesnt mean its a popularity contest all the time. And so Ive had high standards for myself, high standards for our staff, and mostly Im going to have high standards for the country, said the senator.
She added that she thinks its important to demand good product and that you want someone that demands the answers and thats going to get things done, and thats what Ive done my whole life.
