Amy Klobuchar’s mistreatment of her office staff began more than a decade ago and eventually caused such concerns that Harry Reid asked her privately to cut it out. New from me and @aterkel: bit.ly/2URhS0Z

@aterkel In 2006, an AFSCME local asked the union not to endorse Klobuchar's first senate bid because of her “shameful treatment of her employees."

The local claimed she “created a hostile work environment” and “severely damaged the morale of the office." bit.ly/2URhS0Z

@aterkel Also in 2006, her Senate campaign created a guide for her body person (think Gary from Veep) on how to react during her rants.

"This is something that you will become used to and adjust to."

@aterkel The same memo made it clear that her body person's duties included hampering her dirty laundry at her house.

When I read this section to a longtime campaign aide, who's seen a lot of shit, he simply responded, "Wow."

*(this was not a Klobuchar campaign aide but someone who's done body person/advance duties for many candidates)
