Well, Joni didn't bat an eyelash. She responded with, "Well, for goodness sakes, we are all going to die."
Folks, this is the answer to that question you'll get from most Republican/MAGA politicians. It is how their minds works - they don't even have to think about it. Such answers roll off of their tongues like water rolls off a duck's butt.
If you are wondering if I am sitting in my office in Montana and worrying about whether the good people of Iowa will re-elect Joni Ernst or not, let me tell you - I'm not. But, I'm sure you all have noticed that ALL REPUBLICANS have started thinking and talking alike, and that's why America is in such a mess.
You see, Ernst is but one of the symptoms, They are like bed bugs. One can suddenly produce 80,000 in the blink of a MAGA eye. And each one of those 80,000 can produce 80,000 more. Before you know it, you have to fumagate the entire damn herd!
That's why I worry about Joni. For some issues, she's the "bell cow" of the herd. If you "hear" her, you've heard the "herd."
Voters need to start rounding 'em up and "stompin' on 'em." Squash 'em like the bugs they are!
But always remember to smile and say 'cuse me whenever you can.
(Her "walk-back" will be coming shortly)
