12. She also voted for Kavanaugh, after failing to attend the Blasey-Ford hearing.

When asked why she didn't attend the hearing in which Dr. Blasey-Ford testified about the night that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her, Joni Ernst answered "I trust Chuck Grassley." At the time, I almost felt embarrassed for her. What an ignorant thing to say.

Joni Ernst is a fraud. She does not care about women. She doesn't care if women die because of a lack of reproductive health care. She doesn't care if women are sexually assaulted if the perpetrator is a republican man who needs her confirmation vote. She is one of the most loathsome members of the U.S. Senate. She has constructed a facade in which she claims to be an independent thinker. That is a lie. The longer she has been in Washington, the more corrupt and full of hubris she has become.
