Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) made a case to perpetuate the funding of public broadcasting due to its ability to alert the public of “weather disasters.”

On Tuesday, the Senate voted to proceed with a rescissions bill that would cut funding to National Public Radio and its television counterpart, the Public Broadcasting System. While Klobuchar voted against this, she appeared on MSNBC News’s Morning Joe on Wednesday to advocate against the “outrageous” funding cuts.
