Sen. Amy Klobuchar accidentally tweeted her support of President Trump filling the Supreme Court vacancy on Monday.
“The people pick the President; the President nominates the Justice. That is how it works”:

YES, THAT IS HOW IT WORKS!
I agree and @realDonaldTrump is the President. Glad to have your support on this Amy. https://t.co/THdDsK0aHP

She later clarified cleaned things up bit:
People are voting RIGHT NOW to pick our president — that president should pick the next Supreme Court Justice.

Sorry, too late! Your first tweet was accurate as some of Twitchy’s favorite tweeters pointed out to her:
We already picked. We have a President. https://t.co/dv0AB6GqVz

And, by the way, her cleanup tweet isn’t how it works anyway:
Setting aside her follow-up tweet, (which is not how it works), it’s fun watching the Pro Empiricism crowd lose its sh*t over this objectively accurate statement of fact: https://t.co/Q5Rl3L41jO
