Joni is frustrated with Steve King (R-Klansman)
Ernst told Iowa reporters Thursday that she shouldn't have to be "spending precious time talking about white supremacy and comments by a member of our delegation."
Ernst says "we really do need to start focusing on our speech and watching our tone." She says everyone would be better off focusing on the issues and not on religious or ethnic differences.
King, a nine-term House member, caused an uproar after he was quoted in the New York Times stating, "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization how did that language become offensive?"
Fuck you Joni. You were perfectly fine with him before.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)the Dems sure have put forth a few duds in the last few Cycles. Is that the aftermath of Vilsack? Once Harkin decided to not seek reelection,just knew something was amiss.

(41,288 posts)She is a dimwitted hack. Her job in the Senate is to serve as a rubber stamp to whatever bullshit comes out of the republican leadership. I doubt she ever had an original thought in her life.
But her worst behavior as a Senator was most certainly her vote for Judge Kavanaugh. She claimed her vote was based on Dr. Ford not presenting any corroboration of her attack at the hands of Kavanaugh. Yet, Joni Ernst herself kept secret for decades her own sexual assault. Ernst said she didn't tell anyone because "she was ashamed."
Joni Ernst has one standard for herself and another for other victims of sexual assault and sexual abuse.
She is a disgrace.
