Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) was criticized after she offered a "haunting" response to a constituent concerned about health care cuts in the Republican budget bill, and now she's doubling down by giving a faux apology.

The Iowa Republican held a town hall Friday morning in Parkersburg, where she repeatedly expressed frustration with angry constituents who demanded answers on proposed cuts to Medicaid and food stamp benefits and asked pointed questions about Congress putting a check on president Donald Trump's power, reported KCRG-TV.

She also angered some in the audience when she defended rolling back benefits for those she said were not supposed to be eligible for assistance.
