Angry Constituent Confronts Joni Ernst: 'Where Is The Line?'

If you've lost your faith in people, watch this. It reminds that ordinary people have a basic sense of right and wrong, morals and ethics. But not Joni Ernst.
By Karoli Kuns


Oh boy, this constituent at a Joni Ernst town hall in Templeton, Iowa really nailed the issue on the head, leaving the Iowa senator flailing with no good answers.

This lady got right to the point, summarizing Trump's public call for China to dig up dirt on Biden before she asked, "How is that helping anybody?"

"Where is the line? When are you guys going to say enough?" she pressed. "And stand up and say I'm not backing any of this."

She went on to mock the current Republicans, saying "it's not this, it's not that or everything else. Yet you still stand there silent. And your silence is supporting him and not standing up."

As others applauded, she continued, "You didn't pledge an oath to the President. You pledged an oath to our country, you pledged it to our Constitution."

"When are you guys going to start standing up and actually be there for us?" she concluded.

Senator Ernst's answer was so incomplete, so insulting, so utterly cynical that it's hard to even imagine. Here we go.

"So, President Trump. I can say yea, nay, whatever. The president is going to say what the president is going to do," she shrugged. "It's up to us as members of Congress to continue working with our allies making sure that we are staying strong in the face of adversity. That's what we have to do is continue to encourage those other countries so that's what we will continue to do."

See no evil, hear no evil, do no right, eh, Joni Ernst?

After that non-answer, there's another back and forth which is wholly unsatisfactory for the questioner, where Ernst ducks any accountability for her oath. Later, the Washington Post reporter gets her on a one on one where she parrots the same talking points we've all seen. Bottom line: She's fine with Trump extorting foreign countries if they'll interfere in our elections on his behalf.

Joni Ernst has a strong Democratic 2020 challenger in Theresa Greenfield. Let's hope SHE can answer that constituent's question better than Ernst did. What a sycophant Ernst is.

1. I read this earlier today

on Mediaite. Astonishing how hypocritical rethugs are.

[GReedDiamond]

8. They are first and formost COWARDS in their refusal to stand up to...

...the bloated orange sack of shit.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Good. Good normal and decent people are standing up and speaking out, all of the while ...

the republican legislators in Congress continue to dig the hole in the sand deeper so they can stick their heads in deeper.

I am seeing this kind of angry reaction around me in MO too, where people are being to speak up and mock rump and efforts to sideline everything. People are becoming more vocal. People are mocking these GOP/rump cronies for basically ignoring the evidence right in front of them and on national TV. How dumb do they think we all are?

It's time we took back the Country, so we should have a new slogan:

DUMP TRUMP and Make America Great Again.

How ironic that this saying is more true than ever before.

3. Damn. At least Susan Collins would have been concerned...

Joni's one hell of a self-important congressCreature, innit she?!?

[calguy]

5. And Susan Collins would at least

be trying to get some " assurances "

[Volaris]

12. Indeed. Joni dont need any assurances, tho does she?!

[struggle4progress]

4. "Well, the Fuhrer can say whatever the Fuhrer wants to say. But we here in the Reichstag

will keep our country from hurtling down into the abyss!"

6. Here is the video of this

[KelleyKramer]

15. Wow! Thank you for posting this

That should be it's own OP so everyone will see it

[BumRushDaShow]

16. It may have been posted before (GD moves quickly)

I know it has been shown on MSNBC on a bunch of their shows.

[Buckeyeblue]

7. Joni is not particularly smart. So giving dumb answers comes naturally.

[Mr.Bill]

10. New wig?

[Garrett78]

11. The line is far, far away. Video of Trump raping girls and audio of him begging Putin...

...to not release the videos would *maybe* sway a few Republican Senators. Maybe.

[Brother Buzz]

13. In my perfect world, republican congress critters are encountering angry constituents everywhere...

demanding answers.
