Quote:Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar faced fresh accusations Friday of belittling staffers, with a new report relaying a bizarre account of how she allegedly berated a staff member who failed to bring her a fork with her salad.

The confrontation, as reported by The New York Times, got weird.

According to the newspaper, the aide who neglected to get plastic utensils for Sen. Klobuchar, D-Minn., committed the affront at an airport while traveling to South Carolina in 2008. Klobuchar not only chastised the aide, but reportedly proceeded to eat the salad using a comb from her bag -- then handed the comb to the aide and told him to clean it.

The anecdote swiftly became social media fodder late Friday, but also added to the many accounts of Klobuchar allegedly demeaning staff members over the course of her Senate career.

A spokesperson for Klobuchar did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on the Times article, which contained other accounts of the senator tearing into staff. According to the report, former aides said she was "not just demanding but often dehumanizing."

Another recent report said Klobuchar often criticized staffers and directed them to “only speak when spoken to” at events. The Huffington Post reported that the conduct got to a point that then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told her to change her behavior.

During an interview with Fox News' Bret Baier last week, though, Klobuchar said she spoke with Reid, and “he doesn’t remember that and I don’t remember that either.”

But according to a Buzzfeed News report, numerous staffers said Klobuchar routinely sent late-night emails and berated subordinates over minor details and missteps. The report also said, "one aide was accidentally hit with a flying binder, according to someone who saw it happen, though the staffer said the senator did not intend to hit anyone with the binder when she threw it."

When asked about the report that she threw a binder, she did not flat-out deny it.

"I don't know, it's all anonymous. I will say that I'm proud of our staff," Klobuchar told Fox News last week. "And yes, I can be a tough boss, and push people -- that's obvious. But that's because I have high expectations of myself, I have high expectations of those who work for me, and I have a high expectation for our country. My chief of staff has worked for me for six years, my state director for seven years, my campaign manager for 14 years."

Asked specifically whether she had thrown a binder at someone, Klobuchar responded: "If you look at that story, I think you'll see it said something about me throwing a binder down -- not at somebody," Klobuchar said. "I just know that I should be judged, and I will take responsibility for, everything that happens on this campaign."

This is hilarious....

There's a big difference between a demanding boss and a demoralizing, dehumanizing boss.
Klobucher sounds like she's the demoralizing, dehumanizing type...
and she also sounds weird...who eats a salad with a dirty comb?
I'd use my fingers before I'd use a comb.

Is she Victor Sweet from Four Brothers?

Which makes me question the whole story.

Seems like there's been a disproportionate number of hit pieces on someone that's polling at like 5%. Seems like the media don't want her to gain any traction.

I wonder what they are worried about.

why is it always liberal chicks that you catch fingerbanging the help under the tablecloth?

I think they are clearing the way for Biden. When he gets in, they want him to be the only "moderate" and without that lane split, he ought to be able to run through the primaries with 30% of the vote.

BTW, the democrats have moved so far to the left, Barrack Obama's VP is considered the "moderate" candidate.


Let that sink in.

Well Barack is having to disavow his 2008 positions on a bunch of issues.
