Steyer and Klobuchar did not know the name of the president of Mexico, in interviews w/ @TelemundoNews
“I forget,” says Steyer.
"Can you tell me his name?"
Klobuchar: “No."
Pete knew.pic.twitter.com/gUBqyxLfUW
the full Telemundo interview w/ Klobuchar is tougher. Good on Guadalupe Venegas for pressing. GV: Do you, I'm sorry to ask this, but do you know who he is? Do you know his name? AK: Yeah, yeah— I know that he is the Mexican president. GV: But can you tell me his name? AK: No.pic.twitter.com/0g3MTzDUYr
Here's the end: GV: just one final question. How do you plan to win the support of the Hispanic vote in NV and the whole southwest if you can't tell me who the president of Mexico is?..... AK: Because my heart is with the people of this country and my heart is with immigrants...pic.twitter.com/HQJr9wzd6J
Here's the full transcript: GV: Do you know anything about him? Specifically his politics, what he's doing?...Anything you can tell me about him? AK: well, I just, I know that they are our neighbors and regardless of who the leader is, that it is someone that I will work with.pic.twitter.com/4HqXMWXucL
when Pete tells him who the Mexican president it, Venegas just goes: "you're the only one whose been able to tell me that today."pic.twitter.com/YBrbZjHxrv
Steyer at least knew that AMLO was head of Mexico City's govt. but his interview isn't much better GV: I'm asking b/c I feel like a lot of the times, this is our neighbor to the south and a lot of ppl don't even know his name. So you know? You know his name? TS: I forgetpic.twitter.com/xYqAHefGXn
Oh boy. Telemundo write-up says Klobuchar ended the interview early (so abruptly she took her mic with her). that day, she did name AMLO in another interview and then came back to Venegas to say: "So you see that I know more than you think" https://www.telemundo.com/noticias/2020/02/14/dos-precandidatos-democratas-no-recuerdan-el-nombre-del-presidente-de-mexico-solo-tmna3696502 …pic.twitter.com/9Va56mXv1z
rough translation here of those grafs. pretty sure it's right or very close but if you speak better spanish, feel free to correct me. https://www.telemundo.com/noticias/2020/02/14/dos-precandidatos-democratas-no-recuerdan-el-nombre-del-presidente-de-mexico-solo-tmna3696502 …pic.twitter.com/eJZWGDDtAh
Surprised that Klobuchar went on Meet the Press, CNN’s SOTU, and Face the Nation and wasn’t asked about this. Bet the rxn wud be different if candidates didn’t know the leader of Great Britain, Canada, France, or Russia.
In CNN town hall, Klobuchar calls him “Andre” instead of “Andrés” Also responds to Pete's needling of her about it by saying "this isn't like a game of Jeopardy."pic.twitter.com/0HBNQJk1b0
