Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said at a recent campaign stop that English should not be the official language of the United States, even though she voted for a pro-English language bill during her time in the Senate.
Klobuchar said at the campaign event in Las Vegas on Friday that she has “taken a strong position against” the English-language amendment, which she voted in support of in 2007, the Associated Press reported.
“I think that when you look at a state like this state, and a country like ours that is so diverse, you don’t want to have that provision in law because then it would be very difficult to have, say, government documents and other things translated into other languages,” she said Friday, according to AP.
“So that is not a position I take. I did vote that way, but way back then, along with many other people,” she continued.
Her policy shift comes a week before the caucuses are set to take place in a state with a large Latino population and an area where Klobuchar has about 10 percent support.
Klobuchar has flip-flopped on immigration policies, once supporting projects like a wall and E-Verify to ban employers from hiring illegal aliens back in 2006.
The Minnesota senator has also been open about supporting amnesty but has hidden her support for exporting college graduate-level jobs overseas.

Amy ? Or the Amway lady? I can’t tell
Without K-Y jelly.
F that. I’m tired of pressing 1 for English.

Actually she prefers whatever they speak in Somalia or Dirkadirkastan.
She is just a typical virtue signaling Minnesota idiot.
I love it when leftists completely misread the terrain.
Silly campaign mistakes like this can destroy a candidacy. She needs someone to help her avoid dumb statements.
none of these people have ANY core values whatsoever ... they all will just say anything that they think will get them elected ... that was one of the big things about Trump that got him elected: people were fed up with phony, lying politicians, and almost everyone understood that Trump said what he meant and meant what he said, and ALWAYS, ALWAYS said exactly the same things, regardless of the nature of the group or crowd he spoke to ...
Can someone please tell me WTF is wrong with these people? I’m being serious. Are these people this sick in the head?
This country’s in serious need of a cleansing. Nobody wants a CW2 but sadly, that may be the only remedy to clean things up to get this country back to sane values.
OK, I’m done ranting....
Watch them like you would watch any freakshow--if you can stand it.
Frankly, I've never liked freakshows. They give me the creeps.
No one cares what you think Amy. Go eat your salad with a comb.
She prefers martian..this ladies and gentleman is the Democrat Communist Party..God help us all if they ever get power back
“Are these people this sick in the head?”
Oh yeah.
“it would be very difficult to have, say, government documents and other things translated into other languages,”
Can’t we have a country with our culture and language?
And travel to Burundi or Madagascar or Slovenie to hear other languages and learn them if we move there?
I said to one of the student assistants from India “You don’t get a button to press on the phone for your language (Hindi) do you? She said “No, everything’s set up to favor the Latinos.”
India, by the way has 24 distinct languages led by English.
The United States does not have an official language and never will in my lifetime. There have been several attempts over the decade for a constitutional amendment and all have failed. I’m a sure some sheeple see this and think that Klodhopper wants to change our “official” language.
Nor integrity or self. None. Look at our new arriviste in the national theater of shame - Judge Amy Berman. All those credentials and she is just a corrupt political hack. Why? She is a federal judge and is set for a life that she doesn't have a clue how to live. Fine upbringing and education and she wastes it all on being a hack.
Same here. No one wants to tread on toes unless it’s on ours (native speakers of English).
So the wasted monthly sheets of paper and its production all add up to harm the world’s fragile ecology and contributes to worldwide weather disaster!! The “blue gemlike jewel” floating in space and we cling to her. Planet earth is practically on her deathbed now. Somebody tell Greta!
She is Slovene on her father’s side and Swiss on her mother’s side. So which language does she want to make the official language of the US—Slovenian or Schweizer Deutsch?
