Amy Klobuchar is standing tall — but not that tall.
The rising star Democratic presidential candidate joked about her height during a discussion about President Trump’s sophomoric effort to belittle Michael Bloomberg as too short.
Bloomberg is 5-foot-7, but Trump derisively refers to him as “Mini Mike” and claimed the other day that the billionaire ex-mayor is “a 5’4” mass of dead energy.”
“I am the only one that is truly 5 foot 4,” Klobuchar told Bill Maher in an interview that aired Friday night.
The HBO funny man then brought up Jefferson, claiming that the Founding Father was similarly vertically challenged.
“Exactly!” exclaimed Klobuchar while pointing dramatically at Maher.
