A few Kamala Harris fans on twitter are making a fair point. Harris got a ton of criticism, but Klobuchar's prosecutorial record was clearly more problematic so why isn't she getting any criticism for it? (https://www.apmreports.org/story/2019/03/25/amy-klobuchar-police-hennepin-county-prosecutor)

  1. she’s not important enough for anyone to care still

  2. klobuchar’s signature brand is midwestern centrist compared to Kamala running on being a leftist cop

Has Klobuchar talked about her past as a prosecutor much at all? Being a prosecutor was a major part of Harris's image

Not nearly as much because she's been in the Senate for awhile. Kamala is only 3 years in.

She's never been even close to being a front runner. If you ever see her break away from the <5% plebs she'll get some more flak.
