When running for any public office up to and including president, it’s always a good idea to tell a few jokes along the way to prove your sense of humor mettle. That’s exactly what Amy Klobuchar has been trying to do — emphasis on *trying*:

Wow, that’s “the jerk store called” level of cringe!

Whichever staffer suggested she tell that joke should probably wear a helmet into the office. — Michael Ahrens (@michael_ahrens) September 6, 2019

Wow, cringeworthy doesn’t begin to describe it. — Do you concur, Dr.? (@blankenshipb) September 6, 2019

Cringe. The joke wasn't even good, what is she doing repeating it 20 times? https://t.co/Ri8zd0v9JP — Erick Fernandez (@ErickFernandez) September 6, 2019

This is honestly the funniest thing I’ve seen this week https://t.co/jpzthAN5UN — Nick Nightingale (@NickNightinga16) September 6, 2019

Funny, and for all the wrong reasons if you’re the Klobuchar campaign.
