Democrat tries to blame Trump for electricity costs — and gets humiliated by online ridicule
A Democratic politician’s attempt to blame the Trump administration for rising electricity costs blew up in her face when she posted it on social media.
U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota posted a graph showing a large increase in power costs since 2022 on social media, where many responded with mockery and ridicule.
‘You must have blithering idiots for staff members running your social media!’
“Under President [Donald] Trump, electricity prices are surging — up 11%! — leaving millions behind on their utility bills, with past-due balances at an all-time high,” she wrote. “American families deserve better.”
Users quickly pointed out that the graph began in 2022, under the Biden administration, and nearly all of the increase happened during the years before President Trump took control of the Oval Office in Jan. 2025.
“Klobuchar out here dunking on Biden on Thanksgiving. Love it,” CNN commentator Scott Jennings replied.
“Why can none of you read a graph?” responded Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review.
“This chick is dumber than a bag of rocks,” another user replied.
“Good lord you Democrats are the biggest f’n liars — about everything! Your own chart shows electricity past due balances soaring under Biden — NOT Trump. You’re just too damn dumb to read a graph,” another detractor said.
“You might want to look at getting new comms staff,” one user replied.
“You must have blithering idiots for staff members running your social media!” actor Alan Sanders responded.
A community note further undermined her argument by pointing out that the graph was documenting the average overdue electricity bill in the U.S., not average power costs.

The post went viral, with millions of views on the X social media platform.
A Blaze News request for comment to Klobuchar’s office was not immediately answered.

The New Yorker’s attempt to evoke pity for illegal alien is obliterated by devastating community note
Another attempt to garner sympathy for the plight of a deported illegal immigrant was undone by devastating information provided in a community note on X.
The New Yorker report documented the deportation of Jamaican national Orville Etoria to a prison facility in Eswatini, a southern African nation. It quoted Etoria as comparing his deportation to the transportation of slaves.
‘If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, you could end up in CECOT, Eswatini, South Sudan, or another third country.’
“It helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt, going to another land in shackles and chains,” Etoria said.
The community note provided pivotal context about the crimes committed by Etoria.
“Orville Etoria has multiple serious felonies including armed robbery and murder. He held a U.S. lawful permanent resident status, which can and was revoked following his criminal convictions.”
While he had previously been a green card holder, the residency status was revoked after the murder and armed robbery convictions, in addition to criminal possession of a weapon and forcible theft with a deadly weapon, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Etoria had served 25 years in prison and upon his release in 2021, officials allowed him to stay in the U.S. as long as he fulfilled annual check-ins. He was deported in July 2025 after President Donald Trump issued new restrictive immigration policies.
“If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, you could end up in CECOT, Eswatini, South Sudan, or another third country,” said a DHS spokesperson about the case to Newsweek.

Etoria’s aunt had previously told the New York Times that he should have been deported to Jamaica, where he has a valid passport. In September, Etoria was repatriated to Jamaica, according to the foreign affairs minister of that country.
“Every single day President Trump and Secretary Noem fight for justice for American victims of illegal alien crime and nearly every single day the media ignores these victims and their families,” said DHS.
