During an interview on CNN Sunday morning,Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) responded to the backlash she received for her remark last week regarding whether the Trump legal team’s Biden-focused arguments would influence Democratic Iowa caucusgoers.
“And I’d really like to thank CBS for providing such a timely and convenient outlet for our disinformation efforts leading up the caucuses,” she added. “Facebook just isn’t delivering results the way it did in 2016.”
I cannot overstate how much I hate the smiley, smarmy snark that conservatives like Ernst engage in. They think they’re so goddam clever when they use sarcasm to make their point and think they’re getting away with something and not just lying in people’s faces.
Counterpoint: Pretty much too many embarrassments to name here. Yes on the other side of the aisle the stupid is very strong. As soon as the particular embarrassment featured in this story has a set opponent I will be sending them a check.
Whoa! If she thinks what Joe Biden has done is wrong (in her fevered imaginations, of course), then just wait until someone tells her what Donald Trump has actually done.
Bit of a muddled mess of a message from Republicans.
Lamar Alexander is saying Trump did what the House Managers said -that he extorted Ukraine to cheat in our next election -but that’s not Impeachable, let alone convictable, while Jodi Ernst is saying whatever it is Biden supposedly did makes him unelectable.
I trust Iowans are indeed as smart as Ernst thinks, and they throw her into retirement in November.
