It has its limits, however, and Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota seems to have bumped up against them.<\/p>\n<p>Klobuchar\u2019s appearance Sunday on the chat show was, until the end, a pretty standard affair, with most of the questions focusing on the ongoing unrest in Russia, according to an NBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/meet-press-june-25-2023-n1305970\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transcript<\/a>. However, before she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-most-hilarious-woke-pop-culture-fails-of-2022\/\" title=\"The Most Hilarious Woke Pop Culture Fails of 2022\">exited stage left<\/a>, Todd said he was \u201cgoing to ask you a couple of political questions here.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Todd&#8217;s Question Puts Klobuchar on the Spot<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a new poll out, and we asked various questions having to do with President Biden and his ability to do the job,\u201d Todd asked. \u201cDoes he have the mental and physical health to serve? The concern among Democrats has doubled since October 2020. It was only one in five Democrats that had that concern before Election Day 2020. It\u2019s now over 40 percent. It\u2019s 43 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were just with the president at the state dinner,\u201d Todd added, noting that Klobuchar was with the president during his state dinner with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-confidently-places-hand-heart-slowly-lowers-realizing-played\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narendra Modi<\/a>, prime minister of India. \u201cDo you have any concerns?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course she didn\u2019t: \u201cHe did so well at that state dinner. I think we all saw his power at the State of the Union. Our party is united behind him. Why? Because we work in a results-oriented business, Chuck, and he has gotten results. Added over 13 million jobs since the beginning of his presidency. When he took over, our democracy was in shambles. We were in the middle of a pandemic.\u201d Etc., etc.<\/p>\n<p>You could tell she was practically reading off of a fact-sheet from the Biden website, in which the administration brags that it\u2019s almost gotten back all the jobs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gavin-newsom-lambasted-hypocrite-vacation-destination-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lockdown-happy Democrats<\/a> killed (with the the aid of some Republicans, it must be noted). And lo and behold, somehow things weren\u2019t as bad. Amazing how that works.<\/p>\n<p>But Todd \u2014 much like a Sunday talk show Lt. Columbo \u2014 had just one last question: \u201cI want to ask you before you go \u2013 I brought up the state dinner,\u201d Todd said. \u201cDo you think it was appropriate for Hunter Biden to be at the same event as the attorney general, Merrick Garland, was in the same week he accepted a plea deal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sweetheart plea deal, in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/no-dignity-video-hunter-biden-plea-deal-shows-just-corrupt-wh-really\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunter pleaded guilty<\/a> to misdemeanors for major tax violations and skated on a gun charge, got a laugh from Klobuchar. After she tried to explain her way around it, it would eventually get a pained grin from Todd.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar starts laughing and scoffs when asked if it was appropriate for deadbeat Hunter Biden to attend a state dinner \u2014 where the attorney general was present \u2014 in the same week he accepted a plea deal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/san-francisco-poop-testing-startup-charged-with-fraud-likened-to-theranos\/\" title=\"San Francisco Poop-Testing Startup Charged With Fraud, Likened To Theranos\">multiple federal crimes<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7eyq4ZuAL1\">pic.twitter.com\/7eyq4ZuAL1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1672970853334781953?\">June 25, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I think, as the president explains, that\u2019s his son.

He looked at the facts and evidence and made that decision. And by the way, if that\u2019s what the Republicans want to run on in the coming election, good luck, because the president is going to be able to run on the strengths of his work in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amy-klobuchar-deflects-hunter-biden-question-chuck-todds-facial-expression-says-it-all\/\" title=\"Amy Klobuchar avoids Hunter Biden question - Chuck Todd's face reveals everything.\">bringing 13 million jobs back<\/a> to America and resurging\u2013\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou understand the perception issue of something like that, though,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-chuck-todd-leaving-top-nbc-show-announces-final-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Todd<\/a> reiterated. Klobuchar said yes, she did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd do you wish that perception were different?\u201d Todd asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou always wish there were different perceptions, but that\u2019s not reality,\u201d Klobuchar said. \u201cReality is whether or not someone is going to be able to get their insulin. And the president has made changes. Reality is whether someone has a job. Reality is when they can go visit their grandma again in an assisted living. Those are people\u2019s realities, not who is sitting where at a state dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd\u2019s face at exactly the 1:00 mark is just, well, chef\u2019s kiss.
