Like Ernst would ever do the right thing....

Ugh

Senator Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said that she will continue to support Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court should the FBI not find additional evidence or corroboration of accuser Christine Blasey Ford's allegations of sexual assault. Ernst told "CBS This Morning" Tuesday that based off of Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the "corroboration wasn't there" with the "witnesses she brought forward."

"What we want to see is, is there evidence or corroboration that the FBI is able to find through the supplemental investigation that would corroborate Dr. Ford's accusations and if not, I will continue to support Judge Kavanaugh based on the information that I have at this time," Ernst said.

Asked what a vote of support for Kavanaugh sends to women, particularly from a female senator, Ernst said her positive vote shows women that "we are innocent until proven guilty."

"I have absolutely no doubt after reviewing Dr. Ford's testimony that she has suffered from something very traumatic in her lifetime, but simply the corroboration wasn't there with even the witnesses that she brought forward," Ernst said.

1. We all know that they will believe and say whatever gets them to the outcome they want. But

how illogically stupid is it to "have absolutely no doubt" that Dr. Ford was telling the truth about experiencing "something very traumatic" but not believing her when she said she was "100% certain" about Kavanaugh's being the perp?

And is Ernst capable of counting to 2? I saw only two witnesses at the hearing. Who are those other ghost "witnesses that she brought forward" who were never questioned under oath at the hearing?

3. She is of very average intellect.

And I think I am being charitable.

Remember when she was supposed to be the new rising star?

Joni Ernst is a lightweight. The best she can do is be a subservient hack.

that she ever cares to count. No one else counts in her world.

All of them want to see Kavadouche on the Supreme Court. Not just cause Roe v. Wade, but I also think that they want him on there so he can short circuit any attempts to hold the Roman church accountable for all its crimes.
