Just How Disgusting is Amy Klobuchar?

Nevermind her weird crooked face, I'm talking about that time she kidnapped an innocent young teenager and locked him in a cage for the rest of his life for a crime he did not commit.

Daniel McAdams talks to Scott about the failed attempt to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in favor of opposition leader Juan Guiado. The U.S. government has made many claims about the illegitimacy of the latest elections, and has blamed the country's current crisis on Maduro's failures.
