Klobuchar mentioned his name and that was used as a reason during the whole debate to get a chance to respond.

Amy Klobuchar: (01:00:19)
But here’s the political problem. This fight that you guys are having isn’t real. Your fight, Bernie is not with me or with Vice President Biden. It is with all those, bunch of those new house members. Not everyone by any means, that got elected in that last election in the democratic party. It is with the new governor, democratic governor of Kentucky that wants to build on Obamacare. And the way I look at it, if you want to cross a river over some trouble waters, you build a bridge, you don’t blow one up. And I think we should build on the affordable care act.

Bernie Sanders: (01:01:00)
She took my name in vain. She hurt my feelings. [crosstalk 01:01:09]

Actually I think I've heard that one about a million times from my Christian, mostly Catholic, family, friends and especially co-workers.

Or, in other words; you may be taking both yourself, and me, too "damn" seriously.

Kinda like Southerners might say, "Bless your Heart."

9. That's what I meant by misspoke. The expression isn't "carried my name in vain,"

it's "used my name in vain." And yes, that's a common joke, and I recognized the humor.
