Senator Ernst signs onto resolution condemning Democrats for handling of impeachment process

https://www.radioiowa.com/2019/10/24/senator-ernst-signs-onto-resolution-condemning-democrats-handling-of-impeachment-process/

“Because what we’re seeing in the House is the fact that Democrats have been so heck bent on making sure they impeach this president that they are just randomly acting through this inquiry process. It’s not open, it’s not transparent, we don’t have access to the information,” Ernst says.

Ernst was asked if she defends the president’s actions. “I can’t go down that path right now — because again — I haven’t seen all of the information. And bottom line, we don’t even know what the articles of impeachment are. (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi has not indicated what they are trying to do other than go after the president,” Ernst says. “So gain, it’s more of a political show over there than actually getting toward an objective.”

Ernst says she doesn’t have any information to make any kind of a decision on whether the president’s dealings with the Ukraine were an impeachable offense. “As I read through the transcript of the call, of course I didn’t see an impeachable offense there. We will need to hear from additional witnesses and I’m sure that the House will bring those witnesses forward. They will have to. I mean they will have to when they bring it over to the Senate for a trial,” Ernst says. “So again, I want to make sure that I am evaluating all the information as presented by the House prosecutors — that is under the assumption that they are going to send articles of impeachment over.”


Ever wonder what this woman does all day? I sure do.

Give me a fucking break. Who talks like that? What is she doing here saying "so heck bent"? Is she auditioning for a part in a remake of Mayberry R.F.D.?

Here is a big fat lie: "it’s not transparent, we don’t have access to the information,” Ernst says.

Bull Fucking Shit.

Joni Ernst is a fraud and the sooner she is voted out of office the better for the people of Iowa and the nation.

She makes me ill. I can't stand stupid people with power.
